Mr. Park has two aquariums with 4 koi fish inside each of them. Both aquariums are filled
with the same amount of water, and the fish are fed twice a day with an equal amount of
food. He installed air pumps in both aquariums, but he only put water moss in aquarium 2.
On the next day, Mr. Park found that almost all the fish in aquarium 1 were swimming near
the water surface, while all the fish in aquarium 2 were swimming normally.
When Mr. Park removed two fish from aquarium 1 and put them into aquarium 2, the rest of
the fish stopped swimming near the water surface. Why did it happen? Find the most
appropriate answer.
A.
Air pump in aquarium 1 makes the water move to the surface, so that there are a lot
of CO2 at the bottom of aquarium.
B.
Moss in aquarium 2 facilitates the gas exchange from below to the water surface, so
that the fish get an adequate oxygen supply.
C.
Air pump in aquarium 1 does not provide enough oxygen for the four fish, so the fish
seek for more oxygen on the water surface.
D.
Moss in aquarium 2 absorbs the CO2 produced by the fish, so no more CO2 in the
water.

and held it upside down. The tip was closed with a block as illustrated below so that the air
could not escape. What did happen to the air and water when he pushed the plunger?
A.

Refer to the following story to answer question 16 and 17.
Heat is energy that is transferred as a result of the temperature difference between two objects
Heat transfer can be classified into three categories: conduction, convection, and radiation. In
science class, Reynold did an experiment to observe heat transfer by conduction and convection
using media.
16.
Conduction is heat transfer which requires direct contact between objects. Reynold did an
experiment by placing a metal plate into the open flame of a gas stove as illustrated below.

Refer to the following story to answer question 18 and 19.
Water flows from top to bottom following gravity. However, water is also able to move from
bottom to top with capillary action. This action makes water molecules stick to the molecules of
surrounding materials. To prove this theory, Danielle used 3 cups, A, B, and C, as illustrated below.
Firstly, she poured blue-colored water in cup A, yellow-colored water in cup C, and left cup B
empty. Then, she put paper towel connecting each cup and left them for 2 hours.

Refraction is the bending of light and occurs when light travels from one medium to another.
Laura drew an arrow on a piece of paper and put it behind a glass filled with water as
illustrated below. When she looked through the glass, the light travelled from the paper
through the air, then through the glass into the water, and finally out of the glass into the air
before reaching her eyes. How did the arrow look like through the glass of water?
