A student claimed that elephants and bats both receive sound information, but respond to the sounds differently. Use information from the Animal Senses Model to support this claim.

Organisms respond to information in different ways. Which statement describes how two organisms could respond to a warning sound at 35,000 Hz?

Which type of information processing allows the herd of elephants to make this choice?

In the models shown, 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?

Explain, using evidence from Data Table 1, how the speed of the golf ball affects the energy of the golf ball.

Which statement about forces acting on the golf ball is supported by the evidence in Data Table 1?

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?

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?

Which bar graph represents the highest average daily air temperature that could occur in Atlanta in January and July?

Describe how the average daily air temperature changes as a person travels directly north from Houston.

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 in your answer.

Which design solution would require the fewest steps to reduce future impacts of heavy rains on the residents of Atlanta?

Which coastal region has shown the greatest decrease in the number of processing factories for menhaden fish from 1955 to 2015?

Using the ocean depth data from the map and your knowledge of topographic maps, which table correctly summarizes the ocean features and evidence for one of the lettered locations?

Click in the table below to indicate the identity of the unknown substance.

Which model best represents the number and arrangement of the water and sugar particles after the sample of sugar was poured into the sample of water and mixed?

A student makes a claim that a new substance was formed when vinegar was added to calcite. Which statement can be used as evidence to support this student’s claim?

Based on the results shown in Student Data Table 2, explain why rock A is most likely made of the mineral calcite.

Which facts could be used to provide evidence that meerkats use sense organs in order to detect threats from other organisms?

Explain how the graph provides evidence that a variation in a physical characteristic in the meerkat population provides an advantage for survival.

Using evidence from both graphs, construct an argument to explain how being a part of a mob helps meerkat pups survive.

A student made a claim that traits can be influenced by the environment. Use evidence from Graph A and Graph B to support this claim.

Which row correctly pairs a claim with its logical solution that would help meerkat populations survive in deserts that are getting hotter and drier?

Which question is the student investigating?

Which table shows the most likely results of this new investigation using two magnets?

Based on what was learned in the investigations, identify one factor that needs to be considered when designing this refrigerator magnet.

A student inspected the data to determine the relationship between the voltage of the battery and the magnetic force exerted by the electromagnet. Which question was most likely being investigated?
