1. QuestionMultiple choice

Which question is most testable in an investigation?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: A

The correct answer is How does water temperature affect the time needed for sugar to dissolve?.

  1. Identify the science idea: Read the situation, model, or data carefully and identify the science concept being tested.
  2. Use evidence: The testable question identifies a variable that can be changed and a measurable outcome.
  3. Check the conclusion: Compare the answer with the evidence and confirm that the explanation matches the question.

The testable question identifies a variable that can be changed and a measurable outcome.

2. QuestionMultiple choice

A student changes water temperature and measures dissolving time. What is the dependent variable?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: B

The correct answer is The time needed for the sugar to dissolve.

  1. Identify the science idea: Read the situation, model, or data carefully and identify the science concept being tested.
  2. Use evidence: The dependent variable is the outcome measured in response to the changed temperature.
  3. Check the conclusion: Compare the answer with the evidence and confirm that the explanation matches the question.

The dependent variable is the outcome measured in response to the changed temperature.

3. QuestionMultiple choice

Why should the amount of sugar stay the same in each trial?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: C

The correct answer is It controls another factor that could affect the result..

  1. Identify the science idea: Read the situation, model, or data carefully and identify the science concept being tested.
  2. Use evidence: Keeping other factors constant makes it easier to attribute differences to water temperature.
  3. Check the conclusion: Compare the answer with the evidence and confirm that the explanation matches the question.

Keeping other factors constant makes it easier to attribute differences to water temperature.

4. QuestionMultiple choice

Which graph is best for comparing the number of organisms in four habitats?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: D

The correct answer is A bar graph.

  1. Identify the science idea: Read the situation, model, or data carefully and identify the science concept being tested.
  2. Use evidence: A bar graph compares amounts across separate categories such as habitats.
  3. Check the conclusion: Compare the answer with the evidence and confirm that the explanation matches the question.

A bar graph compares amounts across separate categories such as habitats.

5. QuestionMultiple choice

Why should a scientific claim be supported by multiple trials?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: A

The correct answer is Multiple trials help show whether a pattern is reliable..

  1. Identify the science idea: Read the situation, model, or data carefully and identify the science concept being tested.
  2. Use evidence: Repeated trials can reveal a consistent pattern and reduce the influence of chance.
  3. Check the conclusion: Compare the answer with the evidence and confirm that the explanation matches the question.

Repeated trials can reveal a consistent pattern and reduce the influence of chance.

6. QuestionMultiple choice

A student measures plant height every two days. Which tool is most appropriate?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: B

The correct answer is A metric ruler.

  1. Identify the science idea: Read the situation, model, or data carefully and identify the science concept being tested.
  2. Use evidence: A ruler measures length or height, and a metric ruler provides standard units.
  3. Check the conclusion: Compare the answer with the evidence and confirm that the explanation matches the question.

A ruler measures length or height, and a metric ruler provides standard units.

7. QuestionMultiple choice

What should a scientist do when data do not support the hypothesis?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: C

The correct answer is Use the data to revise the explanation or design another test..

  1. Identify the science idea: Read the situation, model, or data carefully and identify the science concept being tested.
  2. Use evidence: Scientific explanations should be based on evidence, so unsupported hypotheses may need revision.
  3. Check the conclusion: Compare the answer with the evidence and confirm that the explanation matches the question.

Scientific explanations should be based on evidence, so unsupported hypotheses may need revision.

8. QuestionMultiple choice

An engineer designs a filter and tests how clear the water becomes. What is a criterion?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: D

The correct answer is The water must meet a specified clarity standard..

  1. Identify the science idea: Read the situation, model, or data carefully and identify the science concept being tested.
  2. Use evidence: A criterion is a standard used to judge whether a design meets its goal.
  3. Check the conclusion: Compare the answer with the evidence and confirm that the explanation matches the question.

A criterion is a standard used to judge whether a design meets its goal.

9. QuestionMultiple choice

Why do engineers test several possible solutions to a problem?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: A

The correct answer is Different designs can be compared using criteria and constraints..

  1. Identify the science idea: Read the situation, model, or data carefully and identify the science concept being tested.
  2. Use evidence: Testing allows engineers to compare performance and improve the design.
  3. Check the conclusion: Compare the answer with the evidence and confirm that the explanation matches the question.

Testing allows engineers to compare performance and improve the design.

10. QuestionMultiple choice

Which statement is an evidence-based conclusion from data showing that shaded soil stayed cooler than sunny soil?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: B

The correct answer is Shade reduced the soil temperature in this investigation..

  1. Identify the science idea: Read the situation, model, or data carefully and identify the science concept being tested.
  2. Use evidence: The conclusion matches the measured comparison without extending beyond the investigation.
  3. Check the conclusion: Compare the answer with the evidence and confirm that the explanation matches the question.
