1A train travels 150 m along a straight track in 10 seconds. What is its average speed?
A.0.067 m/s
B.15 m/s
C.160 m/s
D.1.5 m/s
Explanation: Average speed is distance divided by time. Dividing 150 m by 10 s gives 15 m/s. The unit meters per second comes directly from dividing meters by seconds.
2A girl walks 3 km to the station in 30 minutes, then walks the same 3 km home in 60 minutes. What is her average speed for the whole round trip?
A.6 km/h
B.4.5 km/h
C.3 km/h
D.4 km/h
Explanation: Average speed uses the total distance and total time: 6 km in 90 minutes. Ninety minutes is 1.5 hours, so 6 km divided by 1.5 h gives 4 km/h. Averaging the two one-way speeds is wrong because the legs took different amounts of time.
3On a distance–time graph of a bicycle ride, one section of the line is perfectly horizontal for 3 minutes. What does that section show?
A.The bicycle was moving at a constant speed
B.The bicycle was stopped
C.The bicycle was accelerating
D.The bicycle was moving backward
Explanation: A horizontal section on a distance–time graph means the distance is not changing while time passes. If the distance stays the same, the bicycle is not moving, so its speed is zero. A constant nonzero speed would appear as a sloping straight line.
4A car on an expressway is traveling at 72 km/h. What is this speed expressed in meters per second?
A.72 m/s
B.20 m/s
C.7.2 m/s
D.2 m/s
Explanation: To convert km/h to m/s, multiply by 1000 to get meters and divide by 3600 to get seconds: 72,000 m divided by 3,600 s gives 20 m/s. A useful shortcut is to divide the km/h value by 3.6.
5A box presses down on the floor with a force of 600 N over a contact area of 2 m². What is the pressure on the floor?
A.1200 Pa
B.300 Pa
C.30 Pa
D.0.0033 Pa
Explanation: Pressure equals force divided by area. Dividing 600 N by 2 m² gives 300 N/m², which is 300 Pa. A larger area with the same force would give a smaller pressure.
6Why do wide snowshoes stop a person from sinking into deep snow?
A.They reduce the person's total weight
B.They spread the force over a larger area, reducing the pressure
C.They increase the friction between boots and snow
D.They warm the snow so it compacts
Explanation: Pressure depends on both force and area. The person's weight is unchanged, but spreading it over a larger area lowers the pressure on the snow. With lower pressure, the snow is not pushed down enough to collapse underfoot.
7A stone hangs from a spring scale and reads 5.0 N in air. When the stone is lowered completely into water, the scale reads 3.4 N. What is the buoyant force of the water on the stone?
A.5.0 N
B.3.4 N
C.8.4 N
D.1.6 N
Explanation: The buoyant force equals the loss of apparent weight when the object is immersed. The reading drops from 5.0 N to 3.4 N, so the water pushes up with 5.0 − 3.4 = 1.6 N. This upward force acts against gravity and partly supports the stone.
8A worker lifts a 20 N box straight up by 1.5 m at a steady speed. How much work does the worker do on the box?
A.13.3 J
B.21.5 J
C.30 J
D.300 J
Explanation: Work equals force multiplied by the distance moved in the direction of the force. Here 20 N × 1.5 m = 30 J. Because the motion is straight up against gravity, all of the applied force contributes to the work.
9A motor does 600 J of work in 20 seconds. What is the power of the motor?
A.12000 W
B.30 W
C.0.033 W
D.620 W
Explanation: Power is the rate of doing work: work divided by time. Dividing 600 J by 20 s gives 30 J/s, which is 30 W. A motor with more power does the same work in less time.
10Four students each lift a box of books straight up. A lifts 60 N by 2 m in 10 s; B lifts 50 N by 3 m in 10 s; C lifts 40 N by 3 m in 20 s; D lifts 30 N by 4 m in 20 s. Who works with the greatest power?
A.Student A
B.Student B
C.Student C
D.Student D
Explanation: Power is work divided by time, and work is force times height. A: 120 J ÷ 10 s = 12 W. B: 150 J ÷ 10 s = 15 W. C: 120 J ÷ 20 s = 6 W. D: 120 J ÷ 20 s = 6 W. Student B has the highest value at 15 W.

About the Aomori Entrance Science Exam

The Aomori Public High School Entrance Examination science paper is one of the five subject papers in the prefecture-wide academic examination administered by the Aomori Prefectural Board of Education for admission to prefectural public high schools. Aomori holds a single sitting in early March (March 5 in 2026) in which every applicant, under both the general (ippan) and specialty-focused (tokushoku-ka) selections, takes the same five-subject academic examination: Japanese and English in 50 minutes each, mathematics, science, and social studies in 45 minutes each, every subject scored out of 100 points. The science paper follows the MEXT Course of Study for junior high school across four fields — physics (forces, energy, electricity), chemistry (substances, solutions, reactions, ions), biology (cells, photosynthesis, human body, heredity, ecosystems), and earth science (weather, earthquakes, strata, astronomy) — with heavy use of experiment and data interpretation. Results are combined with the junior-high school report (chousasho, 135 points counted equally across all three school years) and an interview; there is no single passing score. This page provides 100 original English-language practice items as a study adaptation — original items, not official past problems.

Assessment

The real Aomori science subject is one of the five academic subjects (kokugo, shakai, suugaku, rika, eigo) of the prefecture-wide entrance examination administered in a single sitting in early March (the R8 / 2026 sitting was held on March 5, 2026). Every applicant takes the same five-subject examination under both the general (ippan) and the specialty-focused (tokushoku-ka) selections. The science paper lasts 45 minutes and is scored out of 100 points, covering the four MEXT junior-high fields — physics, chemistry, biology, and earth science — with an emphasis on interpreting experiments and data. This local bank is an English-language study adaptation aligned to the same curriculum content; the items are original and are not official past problems, and the MCQ format does not reproduce the official written-explanation work.

Time Limit

45 minutes for the science subject paper (per the official R8 / 2026 selection results report)

Passing Score

No fixed pass mark; each subject paper is scored out of 100 points and admission combines the academic test total (500 points) with the junior-high school report (chousasho, 135 points counted equally across all three years) and an interview, with school-specific weighting under the tokushoku-ka selection

Aomori Entrance Science Study Tips from Top Performers

1For experiment questions, identify the independent, dependent, and controlled variables before looking at the results table.
2In electricity, redraw the circuit to see series and parallel parts clearly, then apply Ohm's law part by part.
3For chemistry, memorize the small set of high-frequency facts — densities, solubility curves, ion charges — and practise percentage-concentration calculations until automatic.
4In biology, link each organ to one function and one adaptation; exam items usually test that pairing.
5For earth science, practise reading graphs and tables (weather data, seismic waves, star paths) rather than memorizing prose summaries.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the real Aomori science entrance paper multiple-choice?

No. The official paper presents experiments, graphs, and observations and mixes selected-response items with written explanations of your reasoning. The MCQs here are an English-language study adaptation — practise writing out the reasoning, not just picking the option.

How long is the Aomori science paper and how is it scored?

The science paper lasts 45 minutes and is scored out of 100 points. Admission combines all five subject results (500 points in total) with the junior-high school report (chousasho, 135 points) and an interview; there is no fixed passing score.

Does the bank include calculation questions?

Yes. The bank includes genuine quantitative items such as Ohm's law circuit calculations, percentage concentration, humidity from dry-and-wet-bulb readings, and speed/distance problems, with worked explanations.

Who administers the exam and what does it cost?

The Aomori Prefectural Board of Education administers the selection. The entrance selection fee set by the prefectural ordinance is JPY 2,200 for the full-time course and JPY 950 for the part-time course.

How is admission decided in Aomori?

Aomori holds a single sitting in early March in which all applicants take the same five-subject examination and an interview. Under the general (ippan) selection, schools combine the 500-point academic total with the 135-point chousasho report, counted equally across all three junior-high years; under the specialty-focused (tokushoku-ka) selection, schools may weight subjects differently and some departments add practical tests.
