FL.SC.7.E.6.6

Discuss how urbanization can impact the natural flow of water in an area.

• Urbanization increases the natural flow of water by creating more open spaces.

• Urbanization can lead to increased water flow by reducing vegetation cover.

• Urbanization can disrupt the natural flow of water by increasing surface runoff and reducing infiltration.

• Urbanization has no impact on the natural flow of water.

DOK Level 1: Recall

Analyze the effects of deforestation on air quality.

• Deforestation improves air quality by increasing oxygen levels.

• Deforestation has no effect on air quality.

• Deforestation can decrease air quality by reducing the number of trees that absorb carbon dioxide.

• Deforestation increases air quality by removing trees that produce carbon dioxide.

What is the primary difference between an experiment and other forms of scientific investigation?

• Experiments do not involve variables.

• Experiments involve the manipulation of variables to test a hypothesis.

• Experiments are only conducted in laboratories.

• Experiments do not require observation.

N/A

Evaluate the impact of erosion on the rock cycle.

• Erosion has no impact on the rock cycle.

• Erosion contributes to the formation of igneous rocks.

• Erosion breaks down rocks into smaller particles, which can then form sedimentary rocks.

• Erosion transforms sedimentary rocks into metamorphic rocks.

• Building roads

• Fishing

• Industrial waste disposal

How does mountain building relate to the rock cycle?

• Mountain building is unrelated to the rock cycle.

• Mountain building is a surface event that contributes to the formation of metamorphic rocks.

• Mountain building is a sub-surface event that leads to the formation of sedimentary rocks.

• Mountain building is a surface event that leads to the formation of igneous rocks.

DOK Level 2: Skill/Concept

Predict the long-term effects of urbanization on local ecosystems.

• Urbanization will have no long-term effects on local ecosystems.

• Urbanization will enhance biodiversity in local ecosystems.

• Urbanization can lead to habitat loss and decreased biodiversity in local ecosystems.

• Urbanization will create new ecosystems with increased biodiversity.
