Paper details Level: Primary 4 | Subject: General Studies | Time: 45 minutes | Total: 100 marks | Questions: 9
Part A — Healthy living (25 marks)
| # | Question | Answer |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Name three healthy living habits. (9 marks) | A balanced diet, about an hour of exercise a day, enough sleep, washing hands, good posture; any three, 3 marks each. |
| 2 | Why should you avoid hard exercise straight after a meal? (8 marks) | Because blood is busy with digestion after eating (4 marks), and hard exercise pulls it to the muscles, which slows digestion (4 marks). |
| 3 | A classmate says: I sleep six hours a night and I am not ill, so sleep does not matter. Point out one problem with this. (8 marks) | Not being ill now does not mean the amount is enough (4 marks); too little sleep affects memory, attention and growth, and the effects appear later (4 marks). |
Part B — Community and rules (25 marks)
| # | Question | Answer |
|---|---|---|
| 4 | Name two public facilities in your neighbourhood and one use of each. (8 marks) | For example a library (borrowing, quiet study), a park (exercise, rest), a market (buying food); 4 marks each: name 2, use 2. |
| 5 | Why does a housing estate have a rule against loud noise after ten at night? (9 marks) | Night is rest time (3 marks); noise disturbs sleep and health (3 marks); the rule protects everyone right to rest (3 marks). |
| 6 | Someone says rules only limit freedom. Use one example to show a rule also protects freedom. (8 marks) | Traffic lights limit crossing anywhere, but protect the freedom to cross safely (example 4, explanation 4). |
Part C — Basic science (25 marks)
| # | Question | Answer |
|---|---|---|
| 7 | You squeeze a balloon and it changes shape. What does this show about force? (7 marks) | Force can change the shape of an object (7 marks). |
| 8 | A torch shines on a piece of card and a shadow appears. What does the shape of the shadow depend on? (8 marks) | On the shape of the card (4 marks), because light travels in straight lines and the card blocks it (4 marks). |
| 9 | Compare moving the card closer to the torch and further away. How does the shadow change and why? (10 marks) | Closer: the shadow grows (3 marks). Further: it shrinks (3 marks). Because the card blocks more light when closer (4 marks). |
Part D — Pictogram (25 marks)
Sports chosen by the class (each symbol = 2 pupils)
| # | Question | Answer |
|---|---|---|
| 10 | Which activity has the most pupils, and how many? (6 marks) | Football, 5 symbols times 2 equals 10 pupils. |
| 11 | How many more pupils chose badminton than skipping? (6 marks) | Badminton 8, skipping 4, a difference of 4. |
| 12 | If football is played in groups of 4, how many groups and how many left over? (6 marks) | 10 divided by 4 gives 2 groups with 2 left over. |
| 13 | There are four classes with similar results. Estimate how many pupils in the school chose table tennis. (7 marks) | About 6 per class, so about 24 in the school. |
