SC.7. N.1.2

  An engineer performs an experiment and asks other engineers around the country to replicate the results. WHy would other engineers most likely try to perform the same experiment?

• A.   To find out if weather of various regions of the world would affect the results.

• B. To see if the experiment would be less expensive in another part of the world.

• C. To confirm the results of the experiment conducted by the engineers

• D.   To verify that the hypothesis of the experiment is a scientific law

SC.6. N.2.2

   During the nineteenth century, biologists knew that South America and Africa contained similar fossils. These fossils let them to believe that a temporary land bridge between South America and Africa allowed ancient species to move between both continents. In the twentieth century, evidence showed that South America and Africa were once part of the same larger continent and that there were no land bridges between them. How should biologists respond to the new geological finding?

• A. Biologists should reject the geological finding because it is new.

• B. Biologists should ask physicists

  what to do because physics is a more exact science.

• C. Biologists should reject the belief in ancient species because there were no land bridges.

• D. Biologists should update the history of life because it should include the new geological finding.

   Bryce observes that the sun always rises in the east. He talks wit others and finds that everyone has the same observation. Which statement best describes a scientific law?

• A. The sun rises in the east.

• B. Why does the sun rise in the east?

• C. The sun appears in the east because of the Earth’s rotation pattern.

   The government is exploring many new green technologies in order to produce energy.  One example is the wind turbine. As the wind passes by, the blades move which turns a generator and produces energy. What energy transformation is taking place in the wind turbine?

• A. Kinetic energy transformed to potential energy.

• B. Kinetic energy transformed to potential energy.

• C. Kinetic energy transformed to potential energy

• D. Mechanical energy is transformed to kinetic energy.

  In science class, you listen to the sound of a tuning fork after it is hit against a cork. When you place the tuning fork to one end of a piece of wood and your ear to the other, you notice that the sound becomes high pitched. What happened to the sound waves as they went through the wood?

• A. They slowed, due to a high pitch echo.

  B.

• B. They slowed, due to more matter in the wood.

• C. They sped up, creating a higher frequency.

• D. They sped up, creating a higher wavelength

 Brady notices that when he places a straw in a glass of water, the image of the straw in water and the image of the straw outside of the water do not match up. 

What is the reason for the difference in how the straw looks above and below the water?    

• A. Light travels faster through water, refracting the image

• B. The light on the surface of the water reflects the image of the straw

• C. The Light travels faster through air, refracting the image of the straw.

• D. The light is reflected several times in the glass, creating a false image.

SC.7. E.6.4 

During an expedition to Antarctica, a group of scientists discovered fossils of plants normally found in a tropical environment. Which statement best explains this discovery?

• A. Antarctica has tropical plants that grow during the summer months.

• B. Antarctica used to be located closer to the equator.

• C. Antarctica has tropical plants that were frozen during the ice age.

• D. Antarctica has tropical plants that were frozen during the ice age.

SC.8. E.5.3

    In 1995, The Hubble Space Telescope photographed a tiny point in the sky for a period of 10 days; 342 exposures were placed together to create an image known as the Hubble Deep Field. Although the sample is relatively small, it is representative of the universe, which looks similar in all directions. The Hubble Deep Field shows at least 3,000 groups of billions of stars, such as the one shown in the image below.

     Which term describes this group of stars?

• A. planet

• B. galaxy

• C. universe

• D. solar system

SC.8. E.5.3

 Our solar system contains eight planets. Each planet is classified as either a terrestrial planet or a gas giant planet. Which is a difference between these two types of planets?

• A. Planets that are terrestrial are larger than gas giant planets.

• B. Planets that are gas giants are denser than terrestrial planets.

• C. Planets that are terrestrial are located closer to the sun than gas giant planets.

• D. Planets that are gas giants have thinner atmosphere atmospheres than terrestrial planets.
