Which of the following is one way that the subtropical jet stream can impact weather in Florida?
The jet stream does not have an impact on Florida’s weather.

The jet stream can increase the severity of thunderstorms in its path.
The jet stream can decrease the severity of a thunderstorms in its path.
Areas along coastlines, such as Florida, often do not experience winters as severe as areasinland – even though some of these coastal areas lie further north.
Why do coastal areas tend to have more mild winter weather patterns?
Cold ocean currents only flow east to west and cannot reach inland areas.
Warm ocean currents only flow east to west and cannot reach inland areas.
Cold ocean waters cool the air above them, the cool aa flows over coastal areas,but cannot reach the areas inland.
Warm ocean waters heat the air above them, the warm air flows over coastal areas,but cannot reach areas inland.
Within a given region, the mean air temperature over a forested area is significantly coolerthan the mean air temperature over a land area without trees.
What would be the MOST LIKELY cause for the difference in mean air temperature betweenthe forested and non-forested areas?
The humidity in the air decreased the surface temperature.
The shading from the trees increased the surface temperature.
The humidity in the air increased the surface temperatures.
The shading from the trees decreased the surface temperature.

Florida received 35 inches of rain this past year.
Florida’s location near the equator makes it cooler than most of the United States.
Florida has a long pattern of experiencing hot, humid summers and mild to coolwinters.
In which way is heat transferred?

It is transferred from warmer to cooler objects.
It is transferred from smaller to larger objects.

What empirical evidence did Sally gather when doing her experiment?
Her classmates served as the control group for her experiment.
The thermometer used to conduct her experiment.
The temperature of her classmates in degrees Celsius.
She concluded that the class average was low because it was cold outside.
Why is there debate to develop scientific knowledge within the scientific community?
Scientific debate is the only way to prove previous scientific findings were incorrect and should be ignored.
Scientists debate because scientist believe their evidence is stronger than other scientist's evidence.
Scientists try to disprove each others work to reduce conflict within thescientific community.
Scientific debate is a necessary part of scientific evidence and plays an important role in confirming scientific findings.
Scientific knowledge results from the interaction of scientists who are investigating natural phenomena.
Which of these BEST describe how a scientific explanation becomes widely accepted?
A hypothesis is tested repeatedly and the results are confirmed and debated by thescientific community.
It is debated by the scientific community.
A hypothesis is tested repeatedly and the results of the tests are debated.
A hypothesis is tested repeatedly and the results are mostly supported by the scientific investigations.
If a scientist makes a new discovery, why must other scientists review and replicate theresults before the discovery can be published?
New discoveries can only be debated after they are published and confirmed.
Scientific knowledge must come from a great deal of debate and confirmation within the science community.
Other scientists must like the new discovery before it can be published.
New discoveries must be accepted by all members of the scientific community first.
Spontaneous generation was an idea that living things appear from nonliving things. This was disproved by Louis Pasteur's experiment using bacteria to demonstrate bacteria comes from existing bacteria.
What is this an example of?
A scientific theory changes as an organism evolves.
Scientific knowledge changes as new evidence is discovered by experiments.
Changes cannot be made because it is a scientific law.
Bacteria have been observed and modified many times.
Models of atoms have changed many times as scientists continued to study them. Aftermany experiments throughout history, the model has been changed to what we know today.
Why was the model of the atom changed?
Scientists continue to discover new atomic elements but the model of the atomhas not changed.
Scientists still cannot agree on a correct model for an atom.
The atomic model was modified as new evidence was encountered.
Scientific experiments cannot disprove the current model of the atom.
When discussing the theory of atoms, a model is the only option. Why is this true?
An atom is too small to be observed in detail with current technology.
Atoms are too expensive to collect for scientific use.
An atom is too dangerous to handle in a lab setting.
An atomic model is easier to manipulate than a real atom.
What is NOT a benefit of using a scientific model?
It can be used to visualize a complex idea or concept.
It can lose some accuracy in order to make it simple enough to use.
It can represent something too small or large to manipulate.
It can be safer, quicker, and less expensive for the scientist to work with.
