Science Part 2

This document is an end-of-unit test for a lower secondary science course. It contains 6 multiple choice and short answer questions testing concepts related to speed, forces, pressure, and the behavior of gases. The test covers equations for speed and pressure, interpreting distance-time graphs, identifying examples requiring unbalanced forces, calculating moment using force and distance from a pivot, and explaining pressure differences and faster spreading of smells at higher temperatures.
