1Which is the correct unit of force?
A.Newton (N)
B.Watt (W)
C.Joule (J)
D.Pascal (Pa)
Explanation: Force is measured in Newtons (N). Watt is power, Joule is energy/work, and Pascal is pressure. Force = mass × acceleration; 1 N = 1 kg·m/s².
2An object with a mass of 600 g rests on a table. Taking 100 g of mass to be acted on by 1 N of gravity, what is the weight of the object?
A.0.6 N
B.6 N
C.600 N
D.60 N
Explanation: Weight is the size of the gravitational force acting on an object, measured in newtons, while mass is the quantity of matter, measured in grams or kilograms. Using the standard classroom conversion that 100 g experiences 1 N of gravity, 600 g experiences 600 ÷ 100 = 6 N. Note the object's mass stays 600 g wherever it goes, but its weight would change on the Moon.
3In an electric circuit, which quantity is measured with an ammeter connected in series?
A.Resistance
B.Voltage
C.Current
D.Power
Explanation: An ammeter measures current (電流, in amperes A) and is connected in series so the same current flows through it. A voltmeter (in parallel) measures voltage; resistance and power are derived. Connecting an ammeter in parallel by mistake creates a near short circuit, which is why wiring order matters in practical work.
4Ohm's law states the relationship V = IR. If a resistor has 4 Ω and the current is 3 A, what is the voltage across it?
A.0.75 V
B.1.33 V
C.7 V
D.12 V
Explanation: V = IR = 3 A × 4 Ω = 12 V. The other values come from dividing or adding. Rearranging the same relation gives I = V/R and R = V/I, so any one of the three quantities can be found from the other two.
5Which type of wave requires a medium to propagate?
A.Sound wave
B.Light wave
C.Radio wave
D.X-ray
Explanation: Sound is a longitudinal wave (縦波) that needs a medium (air, water, solid) and cannot travel through a vacuum. Light, radio waves, and X-rays are electromagnetic waves (横波) that travel through a vacuum. The classic demonstration is a ringing bell inside a jar: as the air is pumped out the sound fades, but the bell remains visible.
6Lightning is seen, and the thunder is heard 5 seconds later. Taking the speed of sound in air as 340 m/s, roughly how far away was the lightning?
A.68 m
B.1700 m
C.340 m
D.3400 m
Explanation: Light reaches the observer almost instantly, so the 5-second gap is essentially the time the sound took to travel. Distance = speed × time = 340 × 5 = 1700 m, about 1.7 km. This is why counting the seconds between flash and thunder gives a rough distance to a storm.
7Which is the correct energy conversion in a battery-powered flashlight?
A.Electrical → chemical → light
B.Light → electrical → chemical
C.Chemical energy → electrical energy → light (and heat)
D.Heat → light → electrical
Explanation: A battery converts stored chemical energy to electrical energy, and the bulb converts electrical energy to light (and heat). Some energy is always lost as heat at each step, which is why a torch bulb grows warm during use.
8Which statement about a magnet is correct?
A.Magnetic poles have no interaction
B.Like poles attract and opposite poles repel
C.All poles attract each other
D.Like poles repel and opposite poles attract
Explanation: Like poles (N–N or S–S) repel; opposite poles (N–S) attract. This is a basic magnetism rule.
9An object moving in a straight line at constant velocity has which net force?
A.Zero net force
B.A force in the direction of motion
C.A force opposite the motion
D.A force perpendicular to motion
Explanation: By Newton's first law, constant velocity means zero net force (balanced forces). A net force would cause acceleration. Balanced forces do not mean no forces: a car cruising at steady speed still has driving force and friction acting, but they cancel exactly.
10A block whose base measures 0.2 m by 0.5 m presses on the floor with a force of 40 N. What pressure does it exert?
A.4 Pa
B.400 Pa
C.40 Pa
D.4000 Pa
Explanation: Pressure is the force acting on each unit of area, so pressure = force ÷ area. The base area is 0.2 × 0.5 = 0.1 m², giving 40 ÷ 0.1 = 400 Pa (N/m²). Standing the same block on a smaller face would concentrate the same 40 N over less area and raise the pressure.

About the Miyazaki Entrance Science Exam

The Miyazaki Public High School Entrance Selection science paper is created by the Miyazaki Prefectural Board of Education. The single 50-minute, 100-point written paper, sat on Day 1 of the 一般入学者選抜 academic test, covers 物理, 化学, 生物, and 地学, with tendencies toward 水溶液・気体, 太陽の日周運動・季節 and 太陽系, 質量パーセント濃度, 溶解度グラフ, 黒点観測, and experiment/reason problems, on the 2017 MEXT junior-high Course of Study. The 一般入学者選抜 combines the academic test (500) with the 調査書 (135-point base); each school chooses its ratio, and there is no fixed pass mark. This page provides 100 original English-language practice questions with detailed explanations as a study adaptation — not an official translation, not a reproduction of the official paper, and not a format simulation of the hand-written sections.

Assessment

The real Miyazaki science examination is a 50-minute paper scored out of 100 points (500 total across five subjects), sat on Day 1 of the 一般入学者選抜 academic test (Day 1: 国語・理科・英語).

Exam Fee

2,200 yen for the full-time course (全日制) and 950 yen for the part-time course (定時制), paid in Miyazaki Prefecture revenue stamps (宮崎県収入証紙) affixed to the selection-fee payment slip. The fee is not refunded once the application is submitted.

Miyazaki Entrance Science Study Tips from Top Performers

1Master the four fields' core facts: force/motion and Ohm's law (physics); solutions, solubility, and gas properties (chemistry); photosynthesis, digestion, and heredity (biology); the Sun's motion, strata, and earthquakes (earth science).
2Practice reading 溶解度グラフ (solubility graphs) and computing 質量パーセント濃度 (mass-percent concentration) quickly — these are recurring tendencies.
3For experiment/reason problems, practice stating the observation, the result, and the cause in a clear sentence — the real paper rewards concise reasoning.
4Drill 太陽の日周運動 and 季節, the 太陽系, and 黒点観測 — earth-science tendencies that recur in Miyazaki.
5Link concepts across fields (e.g., photosynthesis ↔ respiration; electric circuits ↔ energy) for the integrated 大問.
6Manage the 50-minute paper carefully: secure the basic-knowledge marks first, then attempt the longer experiment and reasoning problems.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the real Miyazaki science paper a multiple-choice test?

No — the real paper is a written, constructed-response exam in Japanese that includes hand-written calculations, observations, and experiment/reason explanations. This 100-question bank is an original English-language MCQ study adaptation aligned to the 2017 MEXT junior-high Course of Study, not a reproduction or format simulation of the official paper.

Are these questions official past exam problems?

No. This bank is an original English-language MCQ study adaptation aligned to the 2017 MEXT junior-high Course of Study, covering physics, chemistry, biology, and earth science — not an official translation or format simulation.

How long is the science paper and what is the maximum score?

The science paper is a single 50-minute exam scored out of 100 points, sat as one of five academic-test subjects totaling 500 points on Day 1 of the 一般入学者選抜 (国語・理科・英語).

How are the academic test and report card combined in Miyazaki's 一般入学者選抜?

Miyazaki's 一般入学者選抜 uses the academic test (500 points) and the report card (調査書, 135-point base across 9 教科, 5段階, 中学1–3年). Each school chooses its own 学力:調査書 ratio. Some schools apply 傾斜配点 (up to 2 subjects, up to 1.5×). Selection is by rank order within each school's quota; there is no single prefecture-wide pass line.

How much is the Miyazaki entrance selection fee?

Yes. The official 実施要綱 sets the entrance selection fee at 2,200 yen for the full-time course (全日制) and 950 yen for the part-time course (定時制), paid in Miyazaki Prefecture revenue stamps (宮崎県収入証紙). It is not refunded if the application is withdrawn. This is a selection fee only and is separate from tuition.

Can MCQs simulate the experiment and reasoning sections of the real paper?

No. The real paper requires hand-written observations, calculations, and experiment/reason explanations. Four-option MCQs cannot reproduce those tasks. This bank instead offers physics, chemistry, biology, and earth-science items to help prepare.
