S9 - End-Of-Unit 3 Test

This document is an end-of-unit test for a lower secondary science course on unit 3. It contains 4 multiple choice and short answer questions that assess students' understanding of key concepts from the unit, including: [1] defining density using mass and volume, [2] identifying which substance has the lowest density, [3] explaining whether an object will float or sink based on its density, [4] matching physical quantities like temperature and heat to their descriptions and standard units, [5] calculating wasted energy in a hairdryer, and [6] explaining the relationship between the initial temperatures of two objects when thermal energy flows between them. The test is accompanied by a disclaimer noting it was written by the course authors
