What bece-style objectives — set a means

This practice set helps you answer integrated science objective questions under BECE conditions. You learn to choose the best option quickly and understand the science behind the answer.

What you will practise

  • Choose the correct option from four science answers.
  • Identify simple changes in matter, such as burning.
  • Recall parts of cells and their functions.
  • Match laboratory instruments to what they measure.

Before you start

You should be able to read short science questions and know basic ideas about living things, matter, and measurement. It also helps if you can recognise common scientific terms used in Junior High School lessons.

Worked example

One question from this skill's own question bank, shown with its full working.

Question

Which of the following is a chemical change?

  • melting of ice
  • burning of paper
  • dissolving sugar in water
  • boiling water
Answer: burning of paper

Working: Burning forms new substances (ash, smoke) and cannot be reversed.

Common mistakes to avoid

  • Picking a reversible change for a chemical change question. Check whether new substances are formed.
  • Confusing the nucleus with other cell parts. Remember it controls the cell's activities.
  • Choosing a weather tool instead of an instrument for air pressure. A barometer measures atmospheric pressure.
  • Rushing the question and missing key words like 'which' or 'the part of'. Read the whole stem first.
