November 2019 - GCSE Science 5-a-day
Every GCSE Science sheet published in November 2019, with answers. Biology, chemistry and physics recall, definition and calculation, drawn from every strand.
Every sheet in November 2019
The same date always regenerates the same five questions, so a sheet you print today is the sheet a classmate prints tomorrow.
- 1st November 2019Write the word equation for photosynthesis.
- 2nd November 2019In pea plants, the allele for tall stems (T) is dominant over the allele for short stems (t). A homozygous tall plant (TT) is crossed with a homozygous short plant (tt). State the genotype and phenotype of all the offspring.
- 3rd November 2019State one method used to try to maintain biodiversity.
- 4th November 2019Explain, using the reactivity series, why attaching blocks of zinc to the hull of a steel ship helps prevent the steel from rusting.
- 5th November 2019Why is graphite soft and slippery?
- 6th November 2019Explain the difference between a strong acid and a concentrated acid.
