The temperature of the water in a pool increases on a day when the Sun is in the sky with only a few clouds. What form of heating warms the pool water?
a) conduction
b) convection
c) insulation
d) radiation

Global winds are bands of high pressure and low pressure found at every 30 degrees latitude. What is the main cause of global winds?
a) clouds in the atmosphere
b) conduction in the atmosphere
c) convection currents in the atmosphere
d) electricity in the atmosphere

Over time a rabbit population reaches its carrying capacity. Which factor would cause the carrying capacity to decrease?
a) an increase in the amount of shelter
b) an increase in the amount of water available per rabbit
c) a decrease in the number of predators
d) a decrease in the amount of food available per rabbit

As human population has increased so has the number of species extinctions. Which solution could help limit the effect that humans have on an ecosystem?
a) Construct buildings out of wooden materials instead of bricks to blend in with the environment.
b) Collect and document examples of every species on Earth to create a list of known species.
c) Designate regions as wildlife protection areas where humans cannot collect resources.
d) Switch to eating more fish and shellfish from the oceans and less land animals.

Which list abiotic factors found in the taiga biome?
a) lots of rain, high plant diversity, and warm temperatures
b) little precipitation, very sunny, sandy soil
c) hardwood trees, high animal diversity, moderate temperatures
d) cold temperatures, rocky soil, and frost

A student puts a balloon on each of the two bottles. She places one bottle in hot water and the other in ice water. Which question is the demonstration most likely designed to answer?
a) How does water evaporate to begin the water cycle?
b) Is water more dense than ice?
c) How does temperature affect global convection currents?
d) Does air experience a phase change when heated and cooled?

City A is on the coast and city B is in the middle of the country far from water. Why do temperatures in city A remain pretty consistent throughout the year while temperatures in city B vary?
a) city A is closer to the ocean than city B moderating the weather
b) city B is at a higher latitude than city A receiving more sunlight
c) city B is closer to the North Pole than city A receiving cooler winds from the pole
d) city A is at a lower latitude than city B making it warmer in the day and cooler at night

A ball rolls across the floor and pushes into a spring. How can the energy of the spring and the ball best be described?
a) The ball gains elastic potential energy as the spring releases kinetic energy
b) The ball gains kinetic energy as the spring gains elastic potential energy
c) The elastic potential energy in the spring increases as the ball's kinetic energy decreases
d) The elastic potential energy in the spring transforms into kinetic energy to move the ball

A warm front is moving across our area. Which statement correctly describes the interaction of the two air masses and the weather generated?
a) A warm air mass combines with another warm air mass generating extremely hot temperatures
b) A warm air mass pushes into a second warm air mass, creating short periods of precipitation and cooler temperatures
c) The warm air mass rises up and rolls over a cold air mass creating long periods of precipitation and warmer temperatures
d) The warm air mass sinks below the cold air mass generating extremely cold temperatures and strong winds

The teacher has 2 beakers. Beaker A has 100 ml of water, blue dye, and 10 g of salt. Beaker B has 100 ml of water and red dye. What will happen when the teacher pours them into the same container?
a) The solutions will mix
b) Beaker A water with the salt will rise to the top and beaker B water will sink to the bottom
c) The solutions will react and bubble and foam
d) Beaker A water with the salt will sink to the bottom and beaker B water will rise to the top
