Science Midterm Review (Concepts & Practice CER)

Last updated 10 months ago
18 questions
Read each question & prompt carefully.

There are 2 sections. You have to click next (top right) and/or previous (top left) in order to navigate between them.
Part 1
It is in your best interest to know the info presented below. It will help you with your upcoming benchmark/midterm. The benchmark will be composed of 2 parts- Questions that consist of matching, multiple choice, and OEQ's. Another part will consist of a CER.
For #s 1-6, select the best answer choice.

(not the definition of net force-but what actually is the net force (#) for the image above)

Please make sure you properly answer #4. Many of you are supplying sentences, definitions... but it's suppose to be a FORCE MEASUREMENT (such as 10N)

For #'s 7-9, write your responses in the spaces provided (on the right).

  • For 7, & 8: Write properly (Think about the CER rubric, and answer here almost as if you were writing a CER).
Imagine there was a car accident. A really bad car accident where the car got smashed being hit from behind. Now, referring to Newton's Laws, what happens to the DRIVER in a car accident? (This is question # 7). Do not describe what happens to the car, just describe what the force of the crash does to the DRIVER.

Look at the question written above the "car crash."

Imagine there was a car crash. (Refer to the image). Describe what happens to the person and how the airbag helps you from getting hurt (all according to Newton's Laws).

This is the end of part 1. Part 2 is a CER. You will need to click next to get to that page.
Part 2
Use the info below to complete the CER. You may need a piece of paper & a pencil to jot down notes (peform calculations) that you will need to properly respond to the prompts.
3

What is your claim? (Do Not Say "My claim is...") Remember, CER's are not personal- so no "I", "My," "Mine"...

3

Provide 3 pieces of evidence based upon the data in the table (you might have to do some calculations. F=ma). You need to include the data in your response. Whatever you do, DO NOT SAY, "according to the graph," (Bc it's not even a graph) and do not say, the "the table says..." You MUST provide actual data.

3

Justify each piece of evidence with a reasoning. (Use Newton's laws to explain yourself). The laws are mentioned above.

Write you CER in one final paragraph now. Combine the claim, your evidence, reasoning and finish it off by restating your claim as the last sentence.
