Year 11 ACT Environmental Science practice questions

This public preview page identifies the planned Year 11 ACT Environmental Science demo route and links it to curriculum coverage while the reviewed sample question set is being completed.

Sample-question focus

The planned public sample is for Year 11 ACT Environmental Science practice and will open after the demo questions are reviewed.

Skills covered

Practice Earth systems, pollution, biodiversity, sustainability, food and water security, climate change, energy use, and scientific inquiry.

Exercise and test mode

The route is public now; the exercise and test preview will become available after the curated question set is ready.

Curriculum link

Compare this demo with the ACT Year 11-12 Earth and Environmental Science curriculum page to scan related topics, subtopics, and pathway coverage.

Sample ACT BSSS Year 11 Environmental Science questions

These sample questions are visible on the page before login. They show ACT BSSS Year 11 Environmental Science ecosystem structure, fieldwork data, water quality, resource use, energy flow, and sustainability decisions with diagrams, graphs, transects, and decision tables before opening the demo.

ACT BSSS Year 11 Environmental Science Ecosystems hard environmental food web

1. A woodland food web shows native grass eaten by insects, insects eaten by lizards, and lizards eaten by kookaburras. Which group is the primary consumer?

ACT 11 woodland food web grass insects kookaburra
Choices
  • Insects
  • Native grass
  • Kookaburras
  • Decomposers only
Explanation:

Primary consumers eat producers. In the diagram, insects eat native grass.

ACT BSSS Year 11 Environmental Science Fieldwork hard fieldwork transect

2. A grassland transect records weed cover of 6%, 14%, 23% and 35% closer to a track. Which pattern is supported?

ACT 11 track-edge weed transect grassland track weed %
Choices
  • Weed cover increases near the track.
  • Weed cover is zero near the track.
  • Weed cover halves each quadrat.
  • The transect measures pH only.
Explanation:

The plotted percentages rise along the transect toward the track.

ACT BSSS Year 11 Environmental Science Water quality hard water-quality graph

3. A turbidity graph shows a creek increasing from 7 NTU upstream to 31 NTU downstream of roadworks. What does the graph suggest?

ACT 11 roadworks turbidity graph upstream downstream NTU
Choices
  • Suspended particles increased downstream.
  • The water became clearer downstream.
  • Turbidity stayed constant.
  • NTU measures bird abundance.
Explanation:

Higher turbidity indicates more suspended particles in the water.

ACT BSSS Year 11 Environmental Science Waste systems hard resource-flow diagram

4. A resource-flow diagram shows 420 kg of canteen waste, with 126 kg composted. What percentage was composted?

ACT 11 canteen waste resource flow 420 kg 126 kg compost
Choices
  • 30%
  • 12.6%
  • 42%
  • 70%
Explanation:

126 / 420 x 100 = 30%.

ACT BSSS Year 11 Environmental Science Energy hard energy-flow model

5. An ecosystem energy diagram shows 5000 kJ in plants and 500 kJ in herbivores. What transfer is shown?

ACT 11 grassland energy transfer 5000 500 10%
Choices
  • 10%
  • 1%
  • 50%
  • 90%
Explanation:

The herbivore energy is 500 / 5000 x 100 = 10% of producer energy.

ACT BSSS Year 11 Environmental Science Sustainability hard sustainability matrix

6. A decision matrix scores a bus-lane proposal 5 for emissions, 3 for cost and 4 for access. Which criterion has the lowest score?

ACT 11 transport sustainability matrix emissions cost access
Choices
  • Cost
  • Emissions
  • Access
  • All are equal
Explanation:

The lowest listed score is 3, assigned to cost.

For parents comparing ACT BSSS Year 11 Environmental Science support

ACT BSSS Year 11 Environmental Science practice should help students connect systems thinking to visible evidence: ecosystem structure, fieldwork data, water quality, resource use, energy flow, and sustainability decisions. These examples preview that visual reasoning before the no-login Environmental Science demo.
