Which conclusion does this diagram BEST support?

• Both organisms lived at the same time because the fossils they formed were found in rock layers of

  about the same depth.

• Organism Y lived before Organism X because Organism Y was found in an older rock layer.

• The earthquake that caused the fault most likely killed both organisms because the fossils formed

  during the time of the earthquake.

• The fault formed while Organism X was living and after Organism Y had died because the fault is

  located between the two fossils.

• The masses of the water and the ice were both 43 grams, so the amount of matter did not change.

• The masses of the water and the ice were both 153 grams, so the amount of matter did not change.

• Some of the water spilled because the mass of liquid water should have been greater than the mass

  of solid ice.

• There was an error in weighing the ice because the mass of liquid water should have been less than

  the mass of solid ice.

Heather dropped a 3 kg bag of flour from the top of a staircase. Her friend measured that the bag of flour was traveling at approximately 9 meters per second when it hit the ground. Next, Heather dropped a 6 kg bag of flour from the same height. How will the speed of the 6 kg bag of flour compare to the speed of the 3 kg bag of flour?

• It will be traveling at double the speed of the 3 kg bag of flour when it hits the ground.

• It will be traveling at the same speed as the 3 kg bag of flour when it hits the ground.

• It will be traveling at half the speed of the 3 kg bag of flour when it hits the ground.

• It will be traveling at a slightly faster speed than the 3 kg bag of flour when it hits the ground.

Which conclusion is correct based on the star data?

• Rigel is the hottest, so it looks the dimmest from Earth.

• The sun has the smallest diameter, so it looks the smallest from Earth.

• Betelgeuse is farthest from Earth, so it looks the largest from Earth.

• The sun is closest to Earth, so it looks the brightest from Earth.

The student’s claim is

• correct, since Antarctica is on the bottom of Earth.

• correct, since gravity pulls everything from north to south.

• incorrect, since gravity pulls everything to Earth’s center.

• incorrect, since people living in Antarctica are held to the surface by the

  atmosphere.
