Year 8 Science Exam Revision
Speed Match Review Game

This game has been played times
The best time ever was at seconds.
The best time today is at seconds.
How To Play:
Drag the squares in the gray area and drop them in the matching squares in the blue area below.
If you drop a square in the correct spot, it will disappear.
If you make a mistake, the square will return to its original spot.
Good luck!

Let's Play Speed Match!

A - Cytosol

B - Vacuole

C - Nucleus

D - Cell wall

Digestive System: oesphagis, stomach, small intestine, large intestine, #!!##!!##!!##!!#.

 

Secretory System: bladder, kidneys, blood vessels

 

Respiratory System: trachea, lungs, heart, blood vessels

 

Reproductive System: testes, ovaries, #!!##!!##!!##!!##!!#, #!!##!!##!!##!!##!!##!!#, uterus. 

 

Endocrine System: the glands

 

Nervous system: Brain and CNS and PNS

 

 

 

etc. 

The cylindircal black piece at the top. 

Liquids, solids, gases.

Photosynthesis

False! - you should always use two hands to carry a microscope, one hand on the arm and one under the base. 

To make energy for the cell 

State what kind of cells, and what type of microscope. 

State why you are looking at these cells. 

State what you might expect to see. 

 

e.g. To look at animal cells under the electron microscope to observe mitochondria and their shape. 

Atoms.

Protection from outside bodies and it helps the cell to maintain it's shape 

1 = Nucleus. The boss of the cell. Controls all functions. 

6 = Vacuole. Storage for excess water and waste, provides support in plant cells. When the vacuole fills up with fluid it creates turgidity (pressure) and pushes against the cell wall, helping the cell to remain strong. 

7 = Chlorplast. Responsible for photsynthesis. Contain cholorphyll which absorb sunlight.
