Primary 3 Science Quiz — Systems

Answer Key

Section A: Multiple-Choice Questions (10 marks)

1. (b) A group of parts that work together to perform a function
Explanation: A system is defined as a set of connected parts that work together to carry out a function. A single object (a), a type of living thing (c), or a material (d) do not describe a system.

2. (c) Mouth
Explanation: Food enters the digestive system through the mouth, where it is chewed and mixed with saliva. The stomach (a) and small intestine (b) come later in the process.

3. (b) To absorb water and minerals from the soil
Explanation: The root system anchors the plant and absorbs water and minerals. Making food (a) is done by leaves, producing flowers (c) is a function of the shoot system, and releasing oxygen (d) is a byproduct of photosynthesis in leaves.

4. (c) Helmet
Explanation: A helmet is safety equipment worn by the rider; it is not a functional part of the bicycle system. Wheels (a), brakes (b), and the chain (d) are all parts of the bicycle that work together.

5. (c) Circulatory system
Explanation: The circulatory system, which includes the heart and blood vessels, pumps blood throughout the body. The respiratory system (a) handles breathing, the nervous system (b) sends signals, and the digestive system (d) processes food.

6. (c) The battery
Explanation: The battery is the energy source in a circuit. Wires (a) carry the current, the switch (b) controls the flow, and the bulb (d) converts electrical energy to light.

7. (b) The plants will not be able to survive.
Explanation: Water is an essential part of the garden system. Without water, plants cannot carry out photosynthesis or transport nutrients, so they will die.

8. (c) A pond ecosystem
Explanation: A pond ecosystem is a natural system made up of living and non-living parts that interact. A computer (a), car engine (b), and television (d) are human-made (artificial) systems.

9. (b) Lungs
Explanation: The lungs are the main organs of the respiratory system where oxygen from the air enters the bloodstream. The heart (a) pumps blood, the brain (c) controls the body, and the stomach (d) digests food.

10. (b) work together
Explanation: The key feature of a system is that its parts work together to perform a function. Parts do not need to be the same size (a), made of the same material (c), or all be living things (d).

Section B: True or False (10 marks)

11. False
Explanation: If an important part of a system is missing, the system cannot function properly. For example, without a battery, a circuit system will not work.

12. True
Explanation: The human body has many systems (digestive, circulatory, respiratory, etc.) that work together to keep us alive and healthy.

13. True
Explanation: The plant's transport system (xylem) carries water and minerals from the roots up through the stem to the leaves.

14. False
Explanation: A clock is a system. It has many moving parts (gears, hands, springs) that work together to show the time.

15. True
Explanation: In a food chain, organisms depend on each other for energy and survival, forming a connected system.

16. True
Explanation: The skeletal system (bones) gives the body its shape and protects important organs like the brain, heart, and lungs.

17. False
Explanation: Systems can be found in both living things (e.g., digestive system) and non-living things (e.g., a bicycle, a circuit, a clock).

18. False
Explanation: The battery provides energy for the torch system. Without it, the system cannot work and the bulb will not light up.

19. True
Explanation: The digestive system breaks down food into nutrients, and the circulatory system carries those nutrients to all parts of the body. They work together.

20. False
Explanation: A single leaf on its own is just one part. A system requires multiple parts working together. The leaf is part of the plant system, but it is not a system by itself.
