This is a preview. Print it for the full page.

Show your working and give units. Magnification = image size ÷ actual size (both in the same unit: 1 mm = 1000 µm, 1 µm = 1000 nm). Where an answer is not exact, round it as the question says.

About this activity

What your child practises

Practising key skills with a ready-to-use activity.

What’s included

  • 10 questions
  • An answer key you can print with the sheet or on its own
  • An on-screen version with instant marking and stars

Age and school year

Made for ages 14–16. That’s Grade 9–11 in the US, Year 10–12 in England, JSS 3 – SS 2 in Nigeria and Class 9–11 in India.

How to use it

  • Print it at home or school – it fits a standard A4 or US Letter page.
  • Print the answer key too, so marking takes seconds.
  • Play it on screen: answers are marked instantly and children earn stars.
  • Write on it on a tablet or touchscreen with a finger or stylus – no printer needed.

Tips for parents and teachers

  1. Sort answers into “know it” and “still learning”, and revisit only the second pile next time.
  2. Say new words out loud and use each one in a sentence – hearing and using words is how they stick.
  3. Encourage teens to set their own target (say 12 out of 15) and track it over a few attempts.
