(A) half as large (B) one and a half times as large (C) twice as large (D) two and a half times as large 3. Viscosity is a measure of a liquid’s thickness and stickiness. The more viscous the liquid, the longer it takes for an object to pass through it. Generally, the viscosity of a liquid decreases as temperature increases. The diagram shows the distances clay balls of the same size pass through\ four motor oils in the same time. The four oils were at the room temperature. W XYZ magnified ant actual size ant When cold, high viscosity motor oil may not get to the part of the engin\ e it is supposed to protect. When hot, low viscosity oil may not protect engine parts because it does not stick\ to them. Which motor oil would be best for protecting engine parts at high temper\ atures?

© UNSW Global Pty Limited 4 For questions 4 and 5 use the information below. Mud bricks are made from a mixture of clay, sand and straw. The mixture is poured into a wooden mould until it becomes firm. The moulded bricks are then turned out of the moulds and dried over time in the sun. The table gives some information about mud bricks made by some students.\ Each student used the same amount of water and made the same amount of brick mixture.

After 10 days Jan’s bricks were dry on both sides, but Matt’s bricks were dry on one side only. What would most likely account for this difference? (A) Jan used more sand to make each brick than Matt. (B) Jan used less water to make her bricks than Matt. (C) Matt’s bricks were thicker than Jan’s bricks. (D) Matt turned his bricks so that one side never faced the sun. 5. The diagram shows how the students tested their mud bricks to see which one was strongest.

7 © UNSW Global Pty Limited \ ICAS Science Practice Questions Paper C © EAA QUESTIONKEYKEY REASONING LEVEL OF DIFFICUL TY 1 CThe question only r efers to the honey bee not any of the others, thus we only look at the honey bee (blue) column (bar) graph. F rom the graph, the highest honey bee column (bar) is for the white trap. Easy 2 CThe length of the magnified ant’s body is about 12 mm while its actua\ l length is about 6 mm. This mak es the magnified ant       =2 6 12 twice as lar ge. (Note that when printing out these questions, some printers may distort\ the size of the image.) Medium 3 DThe question only r efers to high temperatur es. The oil with the greatest viscosity is needed as this type of oil will best stick to the engine pa\ rts at high temperatur es. The oil with the gr eatest viscosity is the one in which the ball travels the smallest distance in the same time i.e. the ball dr ops through it the slowest. Medium/Har d 4 DWhat was differ ent between Jan ’s and Matt’s brick? The per centage of sand was the same and so was the size of the brick, so A is wr ong. Each student used the same amount of water , so B is wrong. The sizes of the bricks wer e the same, so C is wr ong. The correct answer is D as it is the only thing Matt and Jan did differ ently. If, over the course of 10 days, Matt turns over the brick at 7 am and again 12 hours later at 7 pm, only one side of the brick would \ face the Sun. Medium 5 AThe drying time of Mary’s brick is the same as all the others, so B i\ s wr ong. The straw length of her brick is the same as Matt’s, so C is wr ong. Her brick composition is the same as John ’s so D is wrong. Only the width of her brick is differ ent (50 x 30 x 15). Medium/Har d LEGEND Level of difficulty r efers to the expected level of difficulty for the question. Easy more than 70% of candidates will choose the cor rect option. Medium about 50–70% of candidates will choose the cor rect option. Medium/Har d about 30–50% of candidates will choose the cor rect option. Har d less than 30% of candidates will choose the cor rect option.
