(01.03 MC)If a forensic scientist is trying to identify a specific type of white powder, what is one physical test they might do?

(01.06 LC)Which of the following is an example of an interpretation?

(01.04 MC)A painting is suspected of being a forgery. How could a light microscope determine the status of the work of art?

(03.03 LC) The amplitude of a wave is related to what wave characteristic? (3 points)

(03.01 LC) In what location would primary succession most likely occur? (3 points)

(03.05 LC) Sarah decides to monitor the tides at her local beach. She reads tide charts and creates the graph below. What type of tide occurs at the local beach? (3 points) © 2016 National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA)

(03.01 MC) Loggerhead turtles need an incubation temperature between about 28 and 32 degrees Celsius. When temperatures are higher, more female turtles are produced. When temperatures are lower, more males are produced. When the temperatures exceed this range, the offspring don’t develop and die. Scientists have observed that, in Florida, 90 percent of the turtles born are females. If global climate change continues, what is the best prediction that can be made based on these observations? (3 points)

(02.06 HC) The Florida Everglades have declined in size and suffered from pollution due to overpopulation. When runoff occurs, a dense growth of algae forms along the water surface. What will be the impact of these algae growths? (3 points)

(01.01 MC) Students in a high school Marine Science class are learning about the scientific process. Four students were asked to write a testable prediction about deep-sea vents found in the ocean. Their responses are shown in the chart. Student Response Jin Deep-sea vents are too deep. Elizabeth Deep-sea vents are more interesting than caves. Carly Interest in deep-sea vents will decrease in the future. Raymond Ocean surface temperatures are warmer than water at deep-sea vents. Which student’s prediction is the most testable using the scientific process? (3 points)

(03.06 LC) Outgoing tides can pull organisms out of the intertidal zone and into the open ocean. How does this limit the number of organisms that can live in the intertidal zone? (3 points)
