Passage 6
31) if a mineral contained a resistivity of 10, what would the expected conductivity be?
B) 1/10 look at the formula for conductivity and the parts of the formula.
36) How many volcanic eruptions took place at mount sano between 1980 and 2002?
A) 5 Look in figure 1 but be careful. The figure show the number of years between each eruption not the number of eruptions.
How much time do you have for the science portion of the test?
35 minutes
where are the easiest questions?
Mixed through the test
If something is stated ___________ it is stated clearly, in detail and can be found somewhere in the passage.
explicitly
32) What two matyerial would hae a resistivity of approx. 300 ohm x M when combined?
H) Limestone and clay Look at each and find a set that averages to 300 ohmxM
37) Since 1902, how many dormancy periods of 10 years or longer were recorded for Mt. Sano?
How much time do you need per question?
.8 minutes
On Data Representation passages, look at the _______ first, and use the ________ to help clarify.
pictures
reading
"How close measurements are to each other."
Does this describe accuracy or precision?
precision
33) What would be best for installing wire in an apartment? Based on only the data in table 1, which material would be the best choice?
D) Silver the material with the highest conductivity
38) In figure 2, what is the primary cause of the higher SO2 and CO2 levels in 1975, 1976 and 1981?
B) these were years when the volcano erupted
Should you spend your time reading all the material before reading the questions?
No, just read the questions first
When reading the Research Summaries, try to identify the __________ and __________ variables, and the __________ and ___________ groups in each experiment.
independent and dependent
control and experimental
A solution is made up of a solute and a solvent. The ______ is the substance being dissolved and the ______ is doing the dissolving.
solute, solvent
34) According to fig. 1, which material is most susceptible to changes in resisitiy caused by temperature or moisture?
G) Magnitite Ore Which has the largest range of resistivity.
39) According to table 1, which volcano produces the lowest levels of sulfur dioxide?
If your running out of time what should you do?
Bubble in the rest of the answers
When reading a Conflicting Viewpoints passage focus on the _______________ and _____________ of each paragraph.
topic sentences and concluding sentences
"Correlation is not _________!"
causation
35) According to figure 2 and table 1, material C is most like which other material in composition?
A) Limestone Look at each of the 4 answer choices and compare them with material C.
40) According to fig 2 and table 1, what was the approx total amount of all gas from mt Sano in 1975, ?
c) aprox 2,000 mt/y This is tricky You have to use a little math to figure it out. CO2 is 49% of the gas and that is half of the total. So twice that is 2,000.
When do you take the science portion of the test?
Its the last subpart
The general approach to every Science passage should be:
1) Look at figures and tables
2)
3) Answer the questions
Read the passage
Verifiable through observation or experimentation.
The opposite of theoretical.
empirical
