Q6.
(a)
Evaporation
Rose knows that water and vinegar evaporate.
Tick ONE box to show what evaporation means. Evaporation is the change from...
gas to liquid.
gas to solid.
liquid to solid.
liquid to gas.

(b)
Rose sets up a test to find out if more water or more vinegar evaporates over 3 days.
She puts water in one container and vinegar in another container, like this:
Rose places both containers on the same windowsill.
(i)
Use the information above to describe ONE thing that is not fair in her test.
.................................................................................................................................................................................
(ii)
State why does it matter if her test is not fair?
....................................................................................................................................................................................
....................................................................................................................................................................................
(c)
Rose changes her test to make it fair. She measures the volumes of water and vinegar twice
each day to see how much has evaporated.
The table below shows her results.

(d)
Rose notices that more water and vinegar evaporated between 10am and 3pm on Tuesday
than between the same times on Monday or Wednesday.
Suggest one possible reason why more water and vinegar evaporated on Tuesday.

Q7. Washing day
(a) Some children have washed a jumper.
Explain why does the jumper feel heavier after it is washed?
.........................................................................................................................................................................................
(b) The children want to find out how long the jumper takes to dry. They hang the jumper up to dry.
State the process that completely dries the jumper.
.....................................................................................................................................................................................

(c) The children weigh the jumper every hour. They make a graph of their results.
How many hours did the jumper take to dry?
.....................................................…hours
(d) The children repeat their test the next day. They wash and dry the same jumper in the same
way. The jumper dries more quickly.
State one possible reason why the jumper dries more quickly when they repeat their test.
............................................................................................................................................................................................
(e) List two ways by which they made their test a fair one.
...........................................................................................................................................................................................
............................................................................................................................................................................................
(f) Explain how does wind speed and surface area of the jumper affect the speed of drying.
