d)

The student’s claim is not correct; the evidence in the picture shows that valley 1 was formed by the constructive force of deposition because flowing water carries large rocks from far away and drops them along a river, making the banks taller, but valley 2 was formed by the destructive forces of weathering and erosion because flowing water breaks down rock and carries the small pieces downstream.

Which argument BEST describes the student’s claim?

a)

The student’s claim is correct because water fills small cracks in rocks, freezes, and expands, making the cracks larger over time.

b)

The student’s claim is correct because the rock was carried from the top of the volcano to its base by a glacier, creating many cracks over time.

c)

The student’s claim is not correct because the rock was picked up by moving water and rolled against other rocks, smoothing its surface and causing cracks in a short period of time.

A scientist collected data on 8 different animals. Which of the following student explanations best describes how to sort these animals?

a)

Student 1: First I would separate vertebrates and invertebrates. The only invertebrate in the table is species 4B because it does not have a backbone. The rest are vertebrates. Species 1B, 2B, and 6B are all mammals because they are warm blooded. Species 3B is a fish because of its colorful scales. Species 4B is a reptile because it has dry scaly skin. Species 5B and 7B are both amphibians because they have green body coverings.

b)

Student 2: First I would separate vertebrates and invertebrates. The only invertebrate in the table is species 4B because it does not have a backbone. The rest are vertebrates. Species 1B and 6B are all mammals because they are warm blooded. Species 2B and 8B are both birds because they have feathers as a body-covering. Species 3B and 7B are all reptiles because they have scales. Species 5B is an amphibian because it is born with gills but develops lungs later in life.

c)

Student 3: First I would separate vertebrates and invertebrates. The only invertebrate in the table is species 4B because it does not have a backbone. The rest are vertebrates. Species 1B and 6B are all mammals because they have hair or fur as a body covering. Species 2B and 8B are both birds because they have feathers as a body covering. Species 3B is a fish because it is covered in colorful scales and lays a large number of eggs under water. Species 7B is a reptile because it lays rubbery eggs. Species 5B is an amphibian because it is born with gills but develops lungs later in life.

Four students went on a walk through a nature trail behind their school and collected the following data based on observations. Which student was able to use the data to develop an accurate model about how the plants could be sorted into groups?

a)

Student 1: I know that Plants 2 and 3 are vascular plants due to their tall height. Plants taller than 5 cm must have vascular tissue to transport nutrients. Plant 1 is a nonvascular plant because it is very short. All plants need water, so they must all live in damp areas.

b)

Student 2: All of the plants are nonvascular plants, so they can each be sorted into the same group. Nonvascular plants must grow in areas where water is present, and vascular plants do not need water in their environments because vascular tissue can transport nutrients to great heights.

c)

Student 3: The plants can be sorted into two groups. Plants 2 and 3 are nonvascular because they reproduce using spores. Plant 1 does not reproduce using spores, so it must be a vascular plant.

d)

Student 4: Plants 1 and 3 are nonvascular because they do not have true leaves, stems, and roots; therefore, they only grow low to the ground. Plant 2 lives in a similar environment but is a vascular plant because it has these structures and vascular tissue to transport nutrients up the length of the plant.

b)

This student made an incorrect claim because larger living things have larger cells that can be seen with the naked eye.
