A short orientation first. In Prep biological science is about living things and their needs: recognising that plants and animals are alive, that they need food, water and shelter and that people care for living things.
Our tutors wrote and checked these questions against the Victorian Curriculum, which is why the wording and the difficulty match what a Prep student meets at school.
If your child gets a question wrong here, it is worth checking whether one of these is behind it. They are the biological science misconceptions RHZ tutors correct most often with Prep students:
None of these is a sign of low ability. Each is a reasonable idea that worked in an earlier year and needs replacing, which is exactly what a good explanation, or a tutor, does.
Practice works when it is short, regular and specific. For biological science, our tutors suggest:
Young children do science by exploring. Give them time outdoors, simple materials and your questions, and record what they find in drawings.
We keep 14 biological science questions for Prep that meet our standard, at the easy and at-level tiers, and this page serves 10 of them at a time. The default set is stable, so a teacher or parent can share the link; a fresh set is one click away. Marking happens on our server so the answer key cannot be read from the page.
Because every question here is on biological science, a low score is a clear signal and a high score is genuinely reassuring for this topic. What it cannot tell you is whether the other Prep science topics are equally secure, or how far above the year level the student can go; the free Skills Check covers both.

Yes, completely: no sign-up, no email, no payment, and you can take it as many times as you like. It is one of 3,261 free practice questions RHZ Tutoring publishes across Prep to Year 12. Press New set of questions, or add ?seed= to the address, for a different selection from the same topic.
Because a single-topic set is the most precise free check available: if the score is low, the gap is in biological science and nowhere else. There are 14 eligible questions on this topic in our Prep Science bank, so several different sets are available before any repeat.
From RHZ Tutoring's own Prep Science question bank, written to the Victorian Curriculum, checked by a tutor and passed through an automated quality gate. The same bank feeds our tutoring sessions and the free Skills Check. The questions on this page sit at the easy and at-level tiers.
Read the explanation for each incorrect answer first; most gaps in biological science are one of the misconceptions listed on this page. Then try a second set a few days later. If it is still low, the free Skills Check will show whether the gap is confined to this topic, and a tutor can build a short catch-up plan.
