The model below provides information about some animals, some of their senses, and how these senses cause specific responses to the animals’ environments.
Which statements supports the claim that elephants and bats both receive sound information but respond to the sounds differently?
Elephants and bats have poor eyesight, so they both depend on their ears to navigate their environments and avoid danger.
Elephants receive vibrations through the ground in order to find mates far away, while bats process reflected sound vibration received through their ears in order to locate prey/distant objects.Elephants and bats both have large ears, which help them hear better and respond by moving towards the source of the sound.
Elephants and bats both rely on hearing to find food and use their ears to track prey from long distances.

The model below represents the path that a herd of elephants would take if given the choice when encountering the scents of two different tribes.
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.

In the models below, arrows represent the path of light. 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?

Motion of Golf Balls
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.
How does the speed of the golf ball affect its energy based on Data Table 1?
Balls dropped from an increased height of to have a greater speed, indicating a greater amount of energy.Balls that bounce higher have a lower energy, and were the ones that had a greater speed at impact with the floor.As the speed of the golf ball increases, its energy stays the same because all golf balls are dropped from a certain height.
As the speed of the golf ball increases, its bounce height decreases, showing that it has less energy at higher speeds.
30s4-PS3-1 - Q6
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.
30s3-PS2-1 - Q7
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?

After completing the golf ball investigation, a student decided to investigate how to get a golf ball to travel from the beginning of a toy car track to the end of the toy car track.
The student placed a golf ball at the top of the ramp and observed that the ball rolled down the track, began to go up the loop, then fell off the track. In order to solve this problem of the golf ball not reaching the end of the track, the student came up with two solutions.
Which solution best solves the problem and allows the golf ball to travel around the loop and reach the end of the track, and why?
Solution 2. Increasing the height of the ramp will solve the problem because the ball will gain more speed/have more energy to travel around the loop and get to the end of the track.Solution 2. The ball is released from a greater height causing it to speed up less than the original set up.Solution 1. Increasing the length of the track before the loop allows the ball more time to build up speed.
Solution 1. Increasing the track length keeps the ball moving at a constant speed for a longer distance.

The student asks the question, “What will happen to the energy and motion of the two golf balls when Ball 1 is released down the toy car track?”
Which table correctly predicts the changes in energy and motion that will occur when the two golf balls collide?

How does the average daily air temperature change as a person travels directly north from Houston?
The temperature stays the same because weather patterns are consistent across large regions.
The temperature increases because northern areas receive more sunlight throughout the year.
The air temperatures get lower/colder traveling north from Houston.The temperature fluctuates randomly due to changing weather conditions in different parts of the country.

Using data from the maps, support the claim that, even though Los Angeles and Atlanta are located at about the same latitude, Los Angeles has a different climate than Atlanta. Include information about temperature and rainfall.
Atlanta receives an average of inches of rainfall and Los Angeles receives an average of inches of rainfall. Atlanta’s average daily temperature is in July and Los Angeles is .Atlanta has less rainfall and, in July, cooler temperatures than Los Angeles.
Los Angeles receives an average of inches of rainfall and Atlanta receives an average of inches of rainfall. Atlanta’s average daily temperature is in January and Los Angeles is .
In January, even though Los Angeles and Atlanta have the same average temperature range, Atlanta has less annual rainfall.30s3-ESS2-2 - Q1330s3-ESS3-1
