How does the addition of thermal energy affect air movement?

It leads to the expansion of air, making it lighter and causing it to rise.

It decreases air pressure, preventing any movement.

It cools the air, causing it to remain stationary.

A town near a factory that uses fossil fuels to produce the energy it needs has noticed an increase in young children developing breathing problems.

The factory releases harmful pollutants into the air, which can cause breathing problems in children.

The factory produces loud noises, and the stress from the noise may cause children to have breathing problems.

The factory uses up all the thermal energy in the atmosphere, which causes a lack of oxygen.

The energy generated by the factory releases negative ions into the air, which causes breathing problems.

A factory is trying to reduce its carbon emissions and wants to test different methods to see which one works best. The factory team plans to use three different filters on the factory’s smokestacks and measure how much carbon each filter reduces. They will also keep the amount of fuel the same to make sure their results are fair. What is the independent variable in this experiment?

The type of filter used on the smokestacks

The amount of fuel the factory uses

The amount of carbon emissions reduced by each filter

The number of smokestacks at the factory

solar panels on this house are used to

Turn radiant energy into electricity

Remove solar energy from the atmosphere

Reflect the sun’s light to keep the house from overheating

Protect the house from electrical storms

Which of the following could a family do to reduce the number of nonrenewable resources they use?

Install solar panels to create electricity from the sun.

Use natural gas for heating their home and cooking their food.

Use pesticides to keep weeds from growing.

Leave water running on cold nights so pipes don’t freeze.

A student lives in a rural area where the local river is a critical water source for both people and wildlife. Recently, there has been a drought, and the water levels in the river have dropped significantly. The student has noticed that the soil in the nearby fields is becoming dry and cracked, and some of the fish in the river are struggling to survive due to the lower water levels. Concerned about the impact on both the land and the wildlife, the student decides to reach out to a conservation professional. Which conservation professional should the student contact to address the issue of the drying soil and declining fish population, and what would their role be?

Water Conservation Officer: This professional would focus on strategies to conserve water, improve water quality, and protect the fish and other aquatic life in the river.

Forestry Manager: This professional would assess the health of the trees in the area and create a plan to prevent forest fires during the drought.

Wildlife Protection Specialist: This professional would develop a plan to reintroduce fish to the river once the drought is over.

A business wants to build a new store where there is currently a small forest. A wildlife protection agency does a study and determines that a very rare type of owl lives in this forest. What is the best choice to help keep the owls safe?

The business should find somewhere else to build the store.

The owls should be moved to a different forest across town.

A local zoo should take in the owls to keep them safe.

The trees that the owls live in should be replanted somewhere else.

Which of the following are true about atoms? Choose 2 correct answers.

The properties of an atom are based on the number and arrangement of its subatomic particles.

Atoms are made up of protons, neutrons, and electrons.

Electrons are found inside the nucleus of the atom.

An element is a form of matter made up of two or more types of atoms that have been chemically bonded together.

Atoms of an element always have the same number of neutrons.

A science class is testing how different amounts of vinegar affect the speed of a baking soda reaction. They use three different amounts of vinegar: 50 milliliters, 100 milliliters, and 150 milliliters. They then mix each amount of vinegar with a fixed amount of baking soda and measure how quickly the bubbles form. What is the dependent variable in this experiment?

The speed at which the bubbles form

A student is investigating the time it takes for different objects to reach the ground after they are dropped. What question is the student answering in this experiment?

How does the weight of an object impact how long it takes for it to fall from a height of 10 m?

What is the best shape to make an object fall quickly from a height of 10m?

Does the color of an object impact how quickly it will fall from a height of 10m?

Why do some objects fall faster than others when dropped from the same height?

Which of the following is the independent variable in this experiment?

The type of object that is dropped

How long it takes the object to fall

The height from which the object is dropped

The time of day that the experiment is performed

Which of the following must be held constant to ensure that this is a fair test?

The height from which the balls are dropped

The color of the object being dropped

The scientist who drops the object

The time of day that the experiment is performed

A student collects information about the weather for several days and creates the chart shown here. Based on the data, which is the best explanation of the relationship between air pressure and the type of weather?

Lower pressures are more likely to cause rain.

Higher pressure systems are the result of colder weather conditions.

There is no relationship between the air pressure and the type of weather.

Low pressure systems are always followed by high pressure systems the next day.

Some students have been asked to create a new outdoor seating area. The area needs to have enough seats for 20 people, provide shade, be able to withstand a windy day, and be easy to clean. Which of the following best meets the criteria?
