1. There were two test tubes connected by a delivery tube containing a drop of ink. Those test
tubes were placed inside two beakers as illustrated below. One of the beakers was filled
with hot water while the other one with iced water. Then, the ink in the delivery tube moved
towards the right. Which of the following options correctly explains what water was in
beaker A and why the drop of ink moved towards the right?
A. Beaker A was filled with iced water. When air inside the test tube in beaker A got

Refer to the following story to answer question 3 and 4.
Anna observed a mung bean germination.

She put a mung bean on damp cottons and
exposed it to the Sun. In 3 days, the mung
bean sprouted with seed root that went
down into the damp cotton.
3. Why did the seed root appear faster than the other parts of the seed?
A. Because the seed root needs to suck up water and send out to its leaves so that mung
bean can start photosynthesizing.
B. Because the seed root needs to absorb food and store it so that mung bean can use
it as energy.
C. Because the seed root needs to protect the seed from cracking so that mung bean will
grow in a good condition.
D. Because the seed root needs to absorb oxygen for photosynthesis so that mung
bean can produce carbon dioxide.
4. Anna wanted the sprouted mung bean to grow better, so she thought of transplanting it into
her garden. Then, she did the following 2 experiments to understand about the roles of soil
for the growth of the plant.
In experiment 1, she put the soil from her garden in the plastic bag, tightened up the
opening, and left it under the sunlight. She saw many water droplets inside the plastic after
a while.
In experiment 2, she transplanted the mung bean in a pot with the same soil as in
experiment 1. Then, the plant pot was put in the water and there were some bubbles as

7. Skydiving is an extreme sport which is performed very high in the sky as shown in the
picture below. After skydivers jump from the airplane, they will fall with accelerating high
speed. At a certain altitude, parachute opens and the speed stops increasing. Choose the
correct answer why skydivers fall at a constant speed instead of continuously falling down in
an increasing speed until they reach the ground?
A. It is because the wind speed is getting slower, so

their bodies adjust the balance in the air.
B. It is because the drag from air resistance is balanced
with the pull of gravity, so they will not fall very fast
like in the beginning.
https://www.pinterest.jp/pin/ C. It is because the air resistance is bigger than the
482377810060439701/
gravity, so their bodies are pushed up in the air.
D. It is because the gravity becomes smaller when they
are reaching the ground, so they will land in slow
speed.

made the air inside the can
compressed; therefore, the air
pressure inside became lower than the
outside.

Please use the following spaces for short answer question 1 to 3.
Question 1.
The appropriate result: A
Explanation: When the light passes diﬀerent mediums, in this case, from
air to water, the direction of light changes on an angle. This causes slightly
bending of glass rod in the water. It is called refraction.
Question 2.
Corals and shells are living in the shallow ocean, therefore the land used
to be under ocean where water temperature was warm. The stratum
deformation shows that the land was created by volcano activity or
earthquake on the seabed that will trigger plate moving.
Question 3.
Position: B
Explanation: Ice is less dense than water which makes the ice lighter than
water. However, ice is denser than oil. Thus, the ice stays between
oil & water.
