Using the model, answer this question: Organisms respond to information in different ways. Which statement describes how two organisms could respond to a warning sound at 35,000Hz?
Humans cannot hear the sound to respond and elephants might stamp their feet.
Humans can hear the sound and respond and the dog might bark.
Humans cannot hear the sound to respond and the dog might bark.
Humans can hear the sound and respond and the bat might fl y away from the sound.
Using the Elephant Trail model shown, answer this question:
Which type of information processing allows the herd of elephants to make this choice?
Use memories stored in the brain to recall the Kamba tribe, which has hunted them in the past.
Use memories stored in the brain to recall the Maasai tribe, which has hunted them in the past.
Use memories stored in the trunk to recall the Kamba tribe, which has hunted them in the past.
Use memories stored in the trunk to recall the Maasai tribe, which has hunted them in the past.
Bats use echolocation to find their way. Which of the senses do they use for this?
sight

A group of students dropped a golf ball from different heights above a level concrete floor. The ball hit the floor and bounced directly upwards. The teacher calculated the speed of the ball when it hit the floor. The students measured the height of the bounce with a tape measure.
What was the purpose of the students dropping the golf ball from different heights?
To measure the time it takes to hit the floor.
To calculate the speed of the ball when it hits the floor.
To see how far the ball rolls after bouncing.
To determine the color of the ball.
What is the speed of the ball when the release height is 2.00 m?
4.43 m/s
5.42 m/s
6.26 m/s
7.00 m/s
What is the bounce height when the speed of the ball is 6.26 m/s?
0.73 m
1.12 m
1.42 m
0.71 m
How many different release heights were tested in the experiment?
1
2
3
4
Which statement about forces acting on the golf ball is supported by the evidence in Data Table 1?
Balanced forces cause the golf ball’s speed to increase as height of the bounce increases.
Unbalanced forces cause the golf ball’s speed to increase as the ball falls.
Forces on the ball are balanced when the golf ball hits the floor and bounces up.
Unbalanced forces cause the golf ball’s speed to decrease as the ball falls.
What did the student use to test the solutions?
A basketball
A toy car
A golf ball
A marble
Why did the ball fall off the track initially?
The track was too slippery
The ball was too light
The ball did not have enough speed to complete the loop
The track was too short
In July, which temperature range is shown for the area around Chicago?
68° – 77°F
77° – 86°F
50° – 59°F
41° – 50°F
In the light path models, arrows represent the path of light.
Based on the models, answer the question:
Which model correctly represents the path of light that occurs between the eagle, its prey (mouse), and the sun that allows the eagle to see its prey?
A
B
C
D
What is the common name for the fish considered "the most important fish in the ocean"?
Atlantic Menhaden
Pacific Salmon
Great White Shark
Blue Marlin
Based on the graph, answer the question: Which coastal region has shown the greatest decrease in the number of processing factories for menhaden fish from 1955 to 2015?
North Atlantic
Mid-Atlantic
Chesapeake Bay
South Atlantic
What is one of the uses of menhaden after they are processed?
Jewelry making
Fertilizer production
Textile manufacturing
Electronics production
Which state is located at the northernmost point of the menhaden range on the map?
Maine
Florida
Virginia
South Carolina
A student claims that the energy of the golf ball was converted from one form to another
when the ball hit the floor.
Which table accurately describes an energy conversion that occurred
when the ball hit the floor, and the supporting evidence?
Energy Conversion: heat energy
into motion energy
Evidence:
the ball got faster when it hit the floor
Energy Conversion: sound energy into motion energy
Evidence:
the ball made a noise when it hit the floor
Energy Conversion: motion energy into heat energy
Evidence:
the temperature of the ball decreased when the ball hit the floor
Energy Conversion: motion energy into sound energy
Evidence:
the ball made a noise when it hit the floor
