Science Unit 5 Review

If students are investigating different textures of soil, what would be the best procedure to follow?

• Moisten the samples and rub them with their fingers

• Attempt to grow plants in each of the soils

• Compare each of the soil samples on a color chart

• Pour water into each of the samples

Students poured 100mL of water through a soil sample. They collected and measured the water that drained out of the soil. The water collected a volume of 80mL. How much water did the soil retain (hold)?

• 20mL

• 60mL

• 80mL

• 100mL

• Wind

• Water

• Plants/Animals

Fossil fuels form when organic matter is buried and exposed to heat and pressure for millions of years. Fossil fuels are nonrenewable because--

• They are used to produce heat

• They take a long time to form

• They form organic matter

• They can be found underground

Conservation means--

• To use fossil fuels as fast as you can

• To mix to substances together

• To plant trees

• To prevent the wasteful use of resources

NGSS.MS-LS2-5

Which is an example of conservation?

• Wasting water

• Using solar panels to generate electricity

• Putting gas in your car

• Leaving all of the lights on at your house

Which type of soil is best for growing plants?

• HIgh in nutrients, retains water well

• Low in nutrients, retains water well

• High in nutrients, does not retain water

What property of soil is the student most likely examining with this procedure?

• How much water is needed to dissolve soil

• The amount of time it takes for soil to dry

• The difference in texture

• How well different soils retain (hold) water

Using public transportation rather than cars helps conserve nonrenewable resources because public transportation--

• Requires the removal of trees to makes roads

• Needs more water to maintain than the same number of cars

• Uses less fossil fuels to move people from place to place

• Involves using much more paper for printed materials
