Question: [QUESTION]Read the following excerpt from a student essay. How can the writer best improve his or her word choice?
I saw a movie called Blob Invasion. It was really good. It was about a weird guy who was into science. He worked on bugs and small animals. He made a machine that did things to the bugs and the animals. They became big weird things. One day he transformed himself by accident. He became a big blob! He went around doing bad things to the city. In the end, a boy figured out how to change the blob back into a man. I would recommend this movie to everyone who likes fun science movies.
Solution: The writer could best improve his or her word choice by using more specific language.
For example, the writer could replace the underlined text with more specific language, such as incredibly entertaining, strange scientist, experimented, invented, transformed, giant slimy blobs, morphed into, giant, oozed, horrible, and all science fiction fans.

Question: [QUESTION]Compare the average kinetic energies of the particles in each sample. Which sample has the higher temperature?
Solution: Each particle in the two samples has the same mass, but the particles in sample A have a higher average speed than the particles in sample B. So, the particles in sample A have a higher average kinetic energy than the particles in sample B.
Because the particles in sample A have the higher average kinetic energy, sample A must have the higher temperature.

Question: [QUESTION]What do these two changes have in common?
breaking a piece of glass
dew appearing on grass in the morning
Solution: Step 1: Think about each change.
Breaking a piece of glass is a physical change. The glass gets broken into pieces. But each piece is still made of the same type of matter.
Dew appearing on grass in the morning is a change of state. So, it is a physical change. Water vapor in the air touches the cool grass and becomes liquid.
The water vapor changes state to become dew, but it is still made of water. A different type of matter is not formed.
Step 2: Look at each answer choice.
Both are only physical changes.
Both changes are physical changes. No new matter is created.
Both are chemical changes.
Both changes are physical changes. They are not chemical changes.
Both are caused by heating.
Neither change is caused by heating.
Both are caused by cooling.
Dew appears when water vapor in the air condenses into a liquid on the grass. This is caused by cooling. But breaking a piece of glass is not.

Question: [QUESTION]Think about the magnetic force between the magnets in each pair. Which of the following statements is true?
Solution: The magnets in Pair 2 attract. The magnets in Pair 1 repel. But whether the magnets attract or repel affects only the direction of the magnetic force. It does not affect the magnitude of the magnetic force.
Distance affects the magnitude of the magnetic force. When there is a greater distance between magnets, the magnitude of the magnetic force between them is smaller.
There is a greater distance between the magnets in Pair 2 than in Pair 1. So, the magnitude of the magnetic force is smaller in Pair 2 than in Pair 1.

The water in a glass is a liquid. A liquid takes the shape of any container it is in. If you pour water from a glass into a different container, the water will take the shape of that container. But the water will still take up the same amount of space.
Grape juice is a liquid. A liquid takes the shape of any container it is in. If you pour grape juice into a different container, the grape juice will take the shape of that container. But the grape juice will still take up the same amount of space.

Question: [QUESTION]Will these magnets attract or repel each other?
Solution: To predict if these magnets will attract or repel, look at which poles are closest to each other.
The north pole of one magnet is closest to the south pole of the other magnet. Opposite poles attract. So, these magnets will attract each other.

Question: [QUESTION]Is there a sentence fragment?
When scientists sequenced the DNA of domestic cats, they made a startling discovery. A remarkable similarity between the genomes of house cats and those of their feline relatives in the wild.
Solution: There is a sentence fragment that does not express a complete thought.
When scientists sequenced the DNA of domestic cats, they made a startling discovery. A remarkable similarity between the genomes of house cats and those of their feline relatives in the wild.
Here is one way to fix the sentence fragment:
When scientists sequenced the DNA of domestic cats, they made a startling discovery: a remarkable similarity between the genomes of house cats and those of their feline relatives in the wild.

Question: [QUESTION]Based on this information, what is Dasher's phenotype for the coat color trait?
Solution: Dasher's genotype for the coat color gene is LL. Dasher's genotype of LL has only L allelles. The L allele is for a black coat. So, Dasher's phenotype for the coat color trait must be a black coat.
To check this answer, consider whether Dasher's alleles are dominant or recessive. The allele for a black coat (L) is dominant over the allele for a reddish-brown coat (l). This means L is a dominant allele, and l is a recessive allele.
Dasher's genotype of LL has two dominant alleles. An organism with at least one dominant allele for a gene will have the dominant allele's version of the trait. So, Dasher's phenotype for the coat color trait must be a black coat.

Question: [QUESTION]Is the following trait inherited or acquired?
Jessica has naturally curly hair.
Solution: Some humans are born with naturally curly hair. Others are born with naturally straight hair. Curly and straight are examples of hair texture.
Some people decide to change how their hair looks. But this doesn't affect the natural texture of their hair. So, having naturally curly hair is an inherited trait.

Question: [QUESTION]Based on this information, what is this fruit fly's genotype for the body color gene?
Solution: An organism's genotype for a gene is its combination of alleles for that gene. The fruit fly has two alleles for a gray body (B). So, the fly's genotype for the body color gene is BB.

Question: [QUESTION]Which specific humidity level was measured within the outlined area shown?
Solution: Look at the colors shown within the outlined area. Then, use the legend to determine which specific humidity levels those colors represent.
The legend tells you that this air mass contained air with specific humidity levels between 20 and 24 grams of water vapor per kilogram of air.
21 grams of water vapor per kilogram of air is within this range.
11 and 16 grams of water vapor per kilogram of air are outside of this range.

Question: [QUESTION]Think about the magnetic force between the magnets in each pair. Which of the following statements is true?
Solution: Distance affects the strength of the magnetic force. When magnets are farther apart, the magnetic force between them is weaker.
The magnets in Pair 2 are farther apart than the magnets in Pair 1. So, the magnetic force is weaker in Pair 2 than in Pair 1.

Question: [QUESTION]Compare the motion of three speedboats. Which speedboat was moving at the lowest speed?
Solution: Look at the distance each speedboat moved and the time it took to move that distance. The direction each speedboat moved does not affect its speed.
Notice that each speedboat moved for 5 hours. The speedboat that moved 215 kilometers moved the shortest distance in that time. So, that speedboat must have moved at the lowest speed.
