A short orientation first. Year 4 chemical science covers how natural and processed materials have properties that determine their use.
Our tutors wrote and checked these questions against the Victorian Curriculum, which is why the wording and the difficulty match what a Year 4 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 chemical science misconceptions RHZ tutors correct most often with Year 4 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 chemical science, our tutors suggest:
Between Years 3 and 6, ask your child to predict, test and explain. The vocabulary comes from using it, so encourage the proper terms.
Every set on this page is a seeded selection of 10 from the 20 chemical science questions that pass our quality gate. A different seed gives a different set, and there are many more combinations than any one student will need. The correct answers never appear in the page source; the browser asks our server for them after you press Mark my answers.
A single-topic quiz is more precise than a mixed one: if the score here is low, the gap is in chemical science, not somewhere in Year 4 science generally. It is still short, though, and it cannot show how a student copes with the stretch and challenge questions that decide a top result. That is what the free Skills Check adds.

The free Skills Check takes about 15 minutes, covers every Year 4 topic including stretch and challenge questions, and sends a same-day topic-by-topic report. A tutor calls to walk you through it, no obligation.
Our Year 4 practice papers are full-length, curriculum-aligned and come with worked answers, so a student can practise on paper the way the real test is sat.
Small groups from $25 an hour and 1:1 from $35 an hour at our Truganina centre, or online anywhere in Australia. Same tutors, same Skills Check, same progress notes either way.

Because a single-topic set is the most precise free check available: if the score is low, the gap is in chemical science and nowhere else. There are 20 eligible questions on this topic in our Year 4 Science bank, so several different sets are available before any repeat.
From RHZ Tutoring's own Year 4 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 chemical 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.
Yes. The Year 4 Science quiz spreads ten questions across every topic for the year, and the hub lists topic quizzes for every year level from Prep to Year 12.
