  • Q3
    According to Dalton's Atomic Theory, each chemical element is composed of a unique type of atom. Why is Dalton's Atomic Theory called a theory rather than a law?
    It explains the different chemical reactivities of different elements.
    It was accepted by all other scientists at the time.
    It states a conclusion scientists had not previously drawn at that time.
    It involves particles that are so small scientists are not completely sure they exist.

  • Q4
    The graph shows the amount of force acting on an object over time. Which conclusion could be accurately made about this data?
    Question Image
    The magnitude of this force is constant over time.
    Based on this data alone, it is unclear whether the maximum force under investigation has yet been reached.
    This figure could represent the gravitational force between objects as one object moves closer to the other in one-second intervals.
    If the mass of the object was constant when the data were being collected, the object is under constant acceleration.

  • Q5
    Alita wants to know if the color of ice cream affects its taste. She has three batches of vanilla ice cream. Batch 1 has no food coloring, Batch 2 has red food coloring, and Batch 3 has green food coloring. She asks 10 people to taste the three batches of ice cream and choose their favorite. What is the independent variable in Alita's investigation?
    taste of the ice cream
    color of the ice cream
    number of batches of ice cream
    number of people tasting the ice cream

  • Q6
    Students are studying the effects of pollution by counting populations of insects in two different locations. One location is near a parking lot, and the other location is a meadow. The students plan to count and identify all insects located within 1 square meter at each location. They will repeat the insect count for 10 days and then analyze the data. What is the dependent variable in this study?
    the number of insects counted at each location
    the location where insects were counted
    the size of the area examined
    the number of days the insects were counted

  • Q7
    A group of students plans to investigate marigold plants. They want to know if marigolds will grow larger flowers when given plant food. The students made this table for their investigation. How can they improve the investigation to make their results more accurate?
    Question Image
    Plant 1 should be removed from the investigation.
    Plant 1 should receive 5 mL of plant food.
    Plant 1 should receive 6 hours of light.
    Plant 1 should be a different type of plant.

    Its volume does not depend on its container.
    Its particles move freely in all directions.
    Its particles vibrate, but are locked in place.
