Example Question #1 :Earth And Space Science

What type of rock could be made out of sand and shells?

Possible Answers:

Sedimentary

Igneous and Sedimentary

Igneous

Metamorphic

Correct answer:

Sedimentary

Explanation:

Both sand and shells are small materials. A sedimentary rock is formed from small materials, such as sand and shells; thus, sedimentary is the correct answer.

Example Question #4 :Earth And Space Science

Select the main difference between the three types of rocks: sedimentary, metamorphic, and igneous.

Possible Answers:

The texture of the rocks

The age of the rocks

How the rocks are formed

Where the rocks can be found

Correct answer:

How the rocks are formed

Explanation:

The main difference between the types of rocks is how the rocks are formed.

Sedimentary rocksare formed from small particles of materials, such as sand or pebbles.

Metamorphic rocksare formed from changes in heat and pressure under the earth's surface.

Igneous rocksare formed from magna cooling and hardening.

Example Question #1 :7th Grade Science

什么时候在图像provided represents a wavelength?

2

Possible Answers:

A

B

C

D

Correct answer:

A

Explanation:

A wavelength is the length of a complete wave cycle, from one crest to the next crest or one trough to the next trough.

Point A is the length from one crest to the next crest; thus, point A represents a wavelength.

Example Question #2 :Physical Science

什么时候在图像provided represents a crest?

2

Possible Answers:

A

D

B

C

Correct answer:

C

Explanation:

The crest of a wave is the upper most point that a wave rises up. Point C is at the upper most point of a wave.

Example Question #2 :7th Grade Science

什么时候在图像provided represents a trough?

2

Possible Answers:

A

B

D

C

Correct answer:

B

Explanation:

The trough of a wave is the lowest most point that a wave falls downward. Point B is at the lowest most point of a wave.

Example Question #2 :7th Grade Science

什么时候在图像provided represents an amplitude?

2

Possible Answers:

B

A

C

D

Correct answer:

D

Explanation:

The amplitude is the distance from rest to a crest or from rest to a trough. Point D represents the distance from rest to the trough; thus, point D is the correct answer.

Example Question #1 :7th Grade Science

What controls a cell's activities?

Possible Answers:

Nucleus

Nuclear membrane

Cell wall

Cell membrane

Correct answer:

Nucleus

Explanation:

To answer this question correctly, we need to know the function of the following organelles:

Thecell membranecontrols movement of materials in and out of the cell, and acts as a barrier between the cell and the environment.

Thecell wallprotects the cell, and allows water, oxygen, and carbon dioxide into and out of the cell.

Thenuclear membranecontrols movement in and out of the nucleus.

Thenucleuscontrols the cell's activities.

Nucleus is the correct answer.

Example Question #2 :7th Grade Science

What protects the cell, and allows water, oxygen, and carbon dioxide into and out of the cell?

Possible Answers:
