A student places 250 g samples of clay, sand, gravel, and silt in separate flower pots. The pots are set on a wire rack, and dishes are placed beneath the pots so that water can drip through holes and collect. The student then pours 100 mL of water over the sample in each pot. The student measures the time it takes for water to begin dripping from the bottom of each pot.What property of soils is the student most likely examining with this procedure?

How well different soils retain water

The amount of time it takes different soils to dry

How much water is needed to dissolve different soils

The differences in texture between wet and dry soils

Which of these describes one or more living organisms that depend on another living organism to survive?

Bacteria living in the mouth of a horse

Ivy plants growing up a fence to obtain more sunlight

Mold living on a hard, rocky surface

An angelfish releasing carbon dioxide into pond water

Which statement correctly describes the transfer of energy in a food chain in this wetland?

Energy is transferred from cattails to crickets to shrews to hawks.

Energy is transferred from hawks to shrews to grasshoppers to marsh grasses.

Energy is transferred from marsh grasses to crickets to hawks to frogs.

Energy is transferred from grasshoppers to crickets to frogs to hawks.

A bright-red male cardinal comes to a school bird feeder every morning. Like other cardinals, this bird makes a sharp chirping sound as it hops around the bird feeder. Which of these is a learned behavior of this bird?

Some students are feeding a crab in an aquarium. They use tongs to place the food directly in front of the crab. The students look through the side of the aquarium. They notice that the image of the tongs appears to break as the tongs enter the water. Which property of light are the students observing in this situation?

Light is refracted as it moves from one medium to another medium.

Light can be refracted and separated into different colors as it moves from air to a different medium.

Light travels in a straight line and can be reflected off the surface of water

Light is absorbed by water and reflected off glass.

A family takes a group picture in a park where bluebonnets are blooming. The family notices that some of the blooms are white and others are blue. The color of the blooms is most likely determined by —

The picture below shows a cumulonimbus cloud forming over an ocean. Which statement best explains how the sun and the ocean interact to form a cumulonimbus cloud?

Heat from the sun warms the ocean, causing water to evaporate. The water vapor then condenses to form a cumulonimbus cloud.

Heat from the sun causes clouds in the area to gather over the ocean and form one large cumulonimbus cloud.

Light from the sun shines on the ocean, causing water vapor to condense. The water then evaporates to form a cumulonimbus cloud.

Light from the sun causes ocean water to reflect water vapor into the air and gather over the ocean into a cumulonimbus cloud.

Which statement best describes the processes of weathering and erosion?

Weathering and erosion are directly responsible for the breakdown of any type of rock into smaller particles and the carrying away of the loose sediments.

Weathering and erosion are directly responsible for depositing loose sediments on the bottom of the ocean, forming layers of sediment.

Weathering and erosion are directly responsible for the amount of water in a river that transports sediments to the sea.

Weathering and erosion are directly responsible for the transportation, deposition, and compaction of loose sediments on the seafloor.

Fred and Barney were given an assignment to go to a school basketball game and write down everything they each saw, heard, smelled, and touched. Afterwards the two students were to compare and contrast their findings and write up a summary of their combined data. In this case when they wrote down what they saw, heard, smelled and felt was considered?

They were writing down their observations

They were creating a hypothesis

The picture below shows a microscopic view of cork tissue, which Robert Hooke used to identify the first cell in 1665. Today, it is known that this discovery helped lead to the cell theory. What happened for the cell theory to be created?

Many scientists performed studies that tested and built upon Hooke's work, eventually forming a unified understanding of cells.

Hooke formed an explanation that was so convincing that the scientific community easily agreed that he was correct and made the cell theory.

The scientific community elected the best cell biologist to perform one more experiment on Hooke's work, and he created the cell theory.

The scientific community took Hooke to a court of law, and after many arguments they eventually ruled in favor of the cell theory.

something that is changed on purpose

something that scientists do not yet understand

something that changes because of something else

Based on the data shown in the graph, which of the statements below mostly closely fits the data.

Students performed worse on test #2 than they did test #9

Students performed better on test#2 than they did on test#9

Students performed better on test#1 than they did on test#7

How are igneous rocks formed?

Magma from a volcanic eruption cools and hardens

Years of sediment are laid down on top of each other and forced together

Acid rain caused by pollution creates holes in metamorphic rocks

Dust and pebbles are pressed together underground from Earth's heat and pressure

Which statement accurately describes a state of matter?

Gases expand to fill an entire space

Solids take the shape of their container

Liquids will expand to fill the volume of a container

How are organisms, such as snakes, cacti and coyotes able to survive in harsh desert conditions?

Over thousands of years these organisms have developed adaptations to survive in arid climates

These organisms migrate out of the desert during the summer months

These organisms work together to find sources of food and water

Snakes, cacti and coyotes are all aquatic species that live in ponds and rivers during the hot day

Why is it important to form a hypothesis before performing an experiment?

The hypothesis tell what the experiment is go to be testing

Developing a hypothesis ensures that the lab will be safe

The experiment will take too much time to complete if there is no hypothesis
