The test will cover all concepts and practices for the ENTIRE semester. Use your
returned work, notes, quizzes, and materials available on your teacher's website as
resources to help you study for the test.
REVIEW OF SCIENCE AND ENGINEERING PRACTICES:
. What is the difference between qualitative and quantitative?
2. What is an inference?
3. What tool(s) is/are used to measure: base metric unit for each:
mass:
volume:
length:
Length/Distance:
density:
Density:
1
Mass:
Volume:
temperature:
Temperature:
time:
Time:
prefixes
and know when it is appropriate to use each.
4. What is the value of metric
(micro-, milli-, centi-, and kilo-)
5. Know whattool to use to measure with (ruler, graduated cylinder, balance, spring
scale, thermometer, stopwatch)
6. Be able to evaluate the design of an experiment or investigation. Are the right tools
used, are the variables controlled, are the results valid (retest), was the question
tested?
7. Be able to identify the independent and dependent variable, the control (control setstandard/normal for comparison), and the constants (unchanged variables) in an
experiment.
8. Recognize lab safety rules and hazards.
9. Make sure you can read and interpret data tables, line, bar, trend, and/or circle
graphs. You will also need to be able to explain the information and make predictions
about what might have happened or what could happen using the data given to you.
CONCEPTS:
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
Changing relevant variables in an experiment will change the outcome.
Upwelling brings cold, nutrient-rich water from the deep ocean to the surface
and these are areas of rich biological activity.
Newton's three laws of motion describe the motion of all common objects.
Force can cause objects to move, stop moving, change speed, or change
direction.
Atoms are made of protons, neutrons, and electrons.
Atoms of particular elements react or don't react with each other according to
the number of electrons.
The periodic table is arranged in such a way that is shows the structure and
behavior of all the elements.
