May 2022 - GCSE Science 5-a-day
Every GCSE Science sheet published in May 2022, with answers. Biology, chemistry and physics recall, definition and calculation, drawn from every strand.
Every sheet in May 2022
The same date always regenerates the same five questions, so a sheet you print today is the sheet a classmate prints tomorrow.
- 1st May 2022Name the change of state when a liquid becomes a gas throughout the liquid, at its boiling point.
- 2nd May 2022Explain the difference between irradiation and contamination.
- 3rd May 2022State whether sound waves are transverse or longitudinal.
- 4th May 2022State the name of the component at the centre of a transformer's primary and secondary coils, and state its purpose.
