Multiple Choice

Which of the following best describes the difference between a fact and an opinion?

• A fact can be proven true or false, while an opinion is a personal belief or feeling.

• A fact is always positive, while an opinion is always negative.

• A fact is something everyone agrees on, while an opinion is always controversial.

• A fact is a guess, while an opinion is a proven statement.

Open Ended

Explain why Earth's oceans are vital to the water cycle, using evidence from the text.

Open Ended

Explain how the water cycle and erosion are connected, using evidence from the statements provided.

Multiple Choice

Which of the following statements is an opinion, not a fact, about the water cycle and erosion?

• Water from precipitation can cause erosion by washing away soil and rock.

• The water cycle includes processes such as evaporation, condensation, and precipitation.

• The flood damage was worse than any other natural disaster experienced.

• Runoff from rainfall can carry sediments into rivers and streams.

Multiple Choice

How can you tell the difference between a fact and an opinion when investigating scientific models?

• A fact can be proven with evidence, while an opinion is a personal belief.

• A fact is always interesting, but an opinion is boring.

• A fact is something you guess, while an opinion is something you know.

• A fact is a prediction, while an opinion is a result.
