The skunk cabbage is a plant that usually grows in wet areas.
Characteristics of this plant include:
• blooms in early spring
• produces heat in flower buds to protect against freezing temperatures
• smells like rotting meat
• has leaves that decompose quickly
Certain characteristics of the skunk cabbage increase its chances for successful reproduction. Which statement best identifies those characteristics?
A - The leaves decompose quickly so that there is less plant matter on the ground.
B - Deer and other herbivores eat the flowers and leaves in early
spring.
C - The smell of the plant attracts insects that can pollinate the flowers.
D - The flower structure provides a hiding place for spiders.
C
This climate zone often gets lots of precipitation and tends to have warmer weather

The ____________ (analog/digital) seismogram is easier to store, move, and compare because it exists as _____________ (electronically sampled data/a fixed physical structure).
Based in Figure 7, compare energy of the wave when it peaks at 47 seconds to the wave that peaks at 36 seconds. The energy at 47 seconds will be ______ (four times, twice) as great because the ________ (amplitude/wavelength) is _______ (four times/twice) as great.
digital / electronically sampled data
four times/amplitude/twice

What is an allele? Give an example
A form of a gene. (b)
A student learns that total lunar eclipses occur in some years and not in others. The student remembers that there was no total lunar eclipse in the year 2020. Circle one correct response from each box to complete the sentences.
During 2020, _________ (the moon/ the sun/ earth) was never positioned directly between the two other celestial bodies.
As a result, the shadow of _________________________(Earth never covered the moon/ the moon never fell on the earth).

Curtains in theaters prevent sound waves from being reflected as echoes. Which model best explains why curtains prevent echoes?
A- A ball thrown toward a surface will come in contact faster with a soft surface than with a hard surface.
B - A ball thrown at a surface will hit with a greater force on a soft surface than on a hard surface.
C - A ball rolled across a surface will roll more quickly on a hard surface than on a soft surface.
D - A ball dropped on a surface will bounce more on a hard surface than on a soft surface.
D - A ball dropped on a surface will bounce more on a hard surface than on a soft surface.
What type of rock is formed from weathering and erosion?
What type of rock is formed from heat and pressure?
Sedimentary
Metamorphic
blue = higher frequency
red = longer wavelength
What is the moon phase called when we cannot see the moon?
new moon
What is the difference between a dominant and recessive allele?
An allele of a gene is said to be dominant when it effectively overrules the other (recessive) allele
A student wants to demonstrate the movement of the planets. The student will use one of two different models. On the wheel, the spokes are permanently attached to the center, and the wheel stays round. The person spinning the ball on the string has to continue applying force to the string and ball to keep the ball moving in a circular path.
A planet stays in orbit because the Sun’s _________ (gravitational force/rotational motion) acts like a _____________ (spoke that is used to spin a wheel/ string that is used to swing a ball) in a circle.
gravitational
string that is used to swing a ball
