1.

What is science?

a)

a subject taught at school by the lovely Ms. Carrol.

b)

a procedure undertaken to make a discovery, test a hypothesis, or demonstrate a known fact.

c)

A particular way of knowing about the world based on observation and experimentation.

2.

What is the correct format for a hypothesis?

a)

When.... because..

b)

If.. then..

c)

Since... therefore

d)

Independent variable... dependent variable

3.

What is the relationship between an independent and dependent variable?

a)

the independent variable changes in response to the dependent variable.

b)

the dependent variable changes in response to the independent variable.

c)

they do not affect each other

4.

What is the difference between an observation and an inference?

a)

An observation is something you notice about an object using your 5 senses while an inference is a guess based on what you observe.

b)

An observation is a guess that follows the if..then format while an inference is merely a guess.

c)

An inference is something you notice about an object using your 5 senses while an observation is a guess based on what you observe.

5.

What is the difference between accuracy and precision?

a)

When something is accuarate it is correct. When something is precise it is close to correct but not quite there.

b)

When something is accurate it is close to the correct/accepted/ideal value. When your measurement is precise it is close to its surrounding measurements (how close they are to each other).

c)

When something is precise it is close to the correct/accepted/ideal value. When your measurement is accurate it is close to its surrounding measurements (how close they are to each other).

d)

When something is accurate it involves numbers and can be put into a chart/graph, precise information can't be placed in a graph.

6.

What is a fact?

a)

It is an idea that can't be proven.

b)

It is a false statement.

c)

A fact can differ from person to person and isn't the same for everyone.

d)

A fact is an objective/something you can verify it's true.

7.

What is a hypothesis?

a)

A prediction based on observations you make.

b)

A summary of the experiment you conducted.

c)

A one-sentence statement about why you are conducting a certain experiment.

d)

A random guess based on nothing valid.

8.

What is the difference between a theory, principle, and law?

a)

A principle is a statement that is based on observation from repeated experiments, while a theory explains what is going on in the world around us. A law is based on principles and is very broad.

b)

A law is a statement from your hypothesis and a theory is basically a hypothesis but in a different format. A principle is the head of a school.

c)

A law is a statement that is based on observations while a principle explains what is going on in the world around us. A theory is based on principles and is very broad.

9.

What are the steps of the scientific method in order?

a)

question, experiment, conclusion, research, hypothesis, analyze data

b)

question, research, hypothesis, experiment, analyze data, conclusion

c)

hypothesis, question, research, analyze data, experiment, conclusion

d)

analyze data, question, research, experiment, conclusion

10.

Chadi purchased 5 red shirts that are exactly the same. He also purchased 5 different brands of laundry detergent. He wants to know if the brand of laundry detergent will affect how quickly the color of the shirt will fade. He is washing each shirt 15 times using the same washer and dryer. He is also making sure to measure the same amount of detergent for each wash.

a)

Independent Variable: the shirt

Dependent Variable: Chadi's mood

b)

Independent Variable: the number of shirts

Dependent Variable: the color of the sky

c)

Independent Variable: the brand of laundry detergent

Dependent Variable: how quickly the color of the shirt fades

d)

Independent Variable: how quickly the color of the shirt fades

Dependent Variable: the washer Chadi used

11.

What 3 components is an atom made out of?

a)

molecules, particules, and elements

b)

protons, neutrons, and electrons

c)

proteins, lipids, and nucleic acids

12.

What are the 6 elements necessary for life?

a)

carbon, nitrogen, phosphorus, hydrogen, oxygen, and sulfur

b)

mercury, gold, platinum, iodine, chlorine, and boron

c)

magnesium, calcium, silicon, aluminum, barium, and iron

d)

arsenic, gallium, zinc, copper, cobalt, and manganese

13.

What are the charges of protons, neutrons, and electrons and where are they located?

a)

protons (-) are not in the nucleus, neutrons (0) are also not located in the nucleus, electrons (+) are located in a cloud outside of the nucleus

b)

protons (+) are located in the nucleus, neutrons (0) are also located in the nucleus, electrons (-) are located in a cloud outside of the nucleus

c)

protons (0), neutrons (-), and electrons (+) are all located on their own clouds outside of the nucleus.

d)

all three- protons (-), neutrons (+), and electrons (0) are located inside of the nucleus

14.

What is the difference between a period and a group?

a)

Periods are the vertical columns on a periodic table and tell the number of energy levels. Groups are the horizontal rows on a periodic table and tell the number of valence electrons.

b)

Periods are the horizontal rows on a periodic table and tell the number of energy levels. Groups are the vertical columns on a periodic table and tell the number of valence electrons.

15.
