2022 WASSCE Trial Questions Solutions for Integrated Science

(a)(i). Precautions to be taken when stocking ponds with fingerlings
– Starve fingerlings for 24 hours before transportation
– Ensure that water in which fingerlings were before transferring into the pond is of the same temperature as that of the pond
– Stock ponds with right number offish to avoid overcrowding
– Do not throw fish into the pond, but should be allowed to swim out of their container into the pond.

(ii). Precautions during feeding
– Avoid overfeeding fish
– Feed with high protein content should be given to the fingerlings
– Accumulation of uneaten food in the pond must be prevented.

(c) (i) Why a balloon filled with hydrogen gas floats in the air
The average density of the balloon containing hydrogen gas is less than the density of air. The weight of air that will be displaced by the balloon with hydrogen gas is greater than that of the balloon. The balloon is acted upon by a resultant upward force equal to the difference between the balloon and the weight of air.

(ii) Why steel ship floats on water
The ship floats because it is hollow, hence its average density is less than that of water. As a result, it displaces water equal to its weight.
