Use the information to answer several questions. Scientists have discovered fossils of an ancient jawed fish species that lived 350 million years ago. The fossils were found by digging into the rock layers under a forested area. The diagram shows the rock layers in the area, labeled A-D. When the scientists examined the fossils of the fish species, they found evidence of two types of tails. Some fish fossils had hard, boney tails and other fish fossils had scaly, flexible tails. There were some fish fossils that had both types of tails. The scientists created a labeled drawing that shows the location of each type of tail. The locations of the fish fossils in the rock layers allowed scientists to figure out how the tails of the fish species changed over time. The graph shows the number of fish fossils with each tail type found in different rock layers. _______________ The area in which the fish fossils were found is currently a forest with many trees and bushes. What does the presence of fish fossils tell scientists about the past environment of the area?

The area was once a hot desert.

The area was once covered in ice.

The area was once a dry grassland.

The graph shows the number of fish fossils with each tail type found in different rock layers. _______________ How did the tails of the fish species change over time, and why?

The tails became more flexible because the fish with flexible tails could swim away faster from danger.

The tails became harder because the fish with hard tails had an easier time catching food.

The tails became boney and flexible because the fish with both boney and flexible tails were easier to catch.

The tails became scalier and more flexible because the fish with the scaly, flexible tails were unable to reproduce.

Use the information to answer several questions. _______________ Using the information in the Tail Changes in Fish Fossils graph, which statement correctly compares the fossils found in the rock layers?

Layer D has the smallest number of scaly, flexible tail fish fossils.

Layer A has the most hard, boney tail fish fossils.

Layer B has more hard, boney tail fish fossils than layer D.

Layer C has the same number of scaly, flexible tail fish fossils as layer A.

A student looks at a model of Earth and glues toy elephants in two locations. The toy elephant on the bottom of the model of Earth looks upside down. How can the student use the model to explain Earth’s gravity?

The model shows Earth’s gravity pulls objects toward its center, not just down, since the position of down can be different in different areas around the world.

The model shows Earth’s gravity pushes objects away from Earth’s surface because gravity comes from Earth’s center.

The model shows Earth’s gravity causes objects to remain upright as shown by the elephants both standing on their legs.

The model shows Earth’s gravity pulls objects in a down position because arrows drawn from each toy toward the bottom of the globe will point in the same direction.

Fossil Y is older because it is found in a lighter color rock.

Fossil Z is older because it is found in a darker color rock.

The model shows a city in the Northern Hemisphere marked with a star. Why will the city experience different seasons as Earth moves around the Sun?

The angle of sunlight shining on the city changes due to the tilt of Earth’s axis.

The length of daylight in the city decreases each time Earth revolves around the Sun.

The tilt of Earth’s axis changes each time it rotates.

The amount of sunlight given off by the Sun increases during Earth’s orbit.

One student adds 2 tablespoons of finely crushed table salt to a cup of room
temperature water. Another student adds 2 tablespoons of rock salt with large
crystals to a cup of room temperature water. Both students stir their solutions until all the salt dissolves.
How do the conditions in the cup affect the time it takes the salt to dissolve in each
cup?

The rock salt has larger particles so it takes longer to dissolve.

The table salt has more total particles so it takes longer to dissolve.

Both cups of water are the same temperature so both types of salt will take the same amount

of time to dissolve.

Both cups of water contain the same amount of salt so both types of salt will take the same

amount of time to dissolve.
