  6. 5. A scientific model is a • Representation of a real event or object. • Small building used to conduct experiments. • Mathematical statement of a theory. • New theory that takes the place of an incorrect one.

  7. 6. The main branches of natural science are • Physics and chemistry. • Biology, zoology, and ecology. • Medicine and agriculture. • Life, physical, and earth science.

  8. 7. The first step in the scientific method is usually • Making an observation. • Forming a hypothesis. • Collecting data. • Testing a hypothesis.

  14. 13. Scientists test a hypothesis by • Formulating questions. • Designing models. • Doing experiments. • Drawing conclusions.

  15. 14. Most of the Earth’s fresh water is found in • Huge masses of ice near the North and South Poles. • Cracks and spaces in underground soil and rock. • The oceans. • Rivers and lakes.

  16. 15. New water that enters an aquifer from the surface is called • Recharge. • A spring. • An artesian well. • A geyser.

  17. 16. The total amount of water on Earth • Is increasing. • Is fairly constant. • Is decreasing. • Depends on the weather.

  18. 17. Which of the following could cause a river to flood? • Colder than normal spring temperatures • A period of less rain than usual in an area • An increased volume of water entering the river channel • Natural levees forming alongside the river

  19. 18. Which of the following is not a branch of biology? • geology • ecology • zoology • medicine

  20. 19. Scientific theories can be changed or replaced when • New technology is invented. • New discoveries are made. • Scientists decide to work on different problems. • Scientists make models of events or objects.

  21. 20. A lake that stores water for human use is called a • Reservoir. • Wetland. • Watershed. • Pond.

  22. 21. Using water wisely to avoid wasting it is called • Desalination. • Distribution. • Conservation. • Irrigation.

  23. 22. Fossil fuels come from • Living plants and animals. • Atomic reactions. • Soil. • Remains of dead organisms.

  24. 23. In order to move from the ocean to the atmosphere, a water molecule must • Release energy. • Absorb energy. • Condense. • Transpire.

  25. 24. Which of the following are NOT a common source of drinking water? • icebergs • rivers • reservoirs • aquifers

  26. 25. The process by which plants release water into the air is called • Precipitation. • Condensation. • Evaporation. • Transpiration.

  27. 26. Which of the following is a way to conserve water? • Taking longer showers • Reusing water in a factory to cool hot machinery • Letting the water run while you brush your teeth • Using open ditches to carry water for irrigation

  28. 27. For a scientific theory to be valid, it must allow you to • Perform experiments. • obtain new results each time. • Find a new, more complex explanation. • Make predictions

  29. 28. Specific sources of pollution that can be identified are called • Point sources. • Nonpoint sources. • Runoff. • Sewage.

  34. 33. Which of the following statements about ecosystems is not true? • Ecosystems include living and nonliving things. • Temperature and climate are not part of an ecosystem. • An ecosystem can be as small as a rain puddle. • Sunlight, air, and water can be parts of an ecosystem.

  35. 34. The land area that supplies water to a river system is called a • Watershed. • Tributary. • Divide. • Stream.

  36. 35. Which of the following animals are adapted to cold, wet places? • Polar bears. • Lions. • Elephants. • Mosquitoes.

  37. 36. Group of plants and animals that are adapted to similar conditions form a(n) • Population. • Ecosystem. • Community. • Organism.

  38. 37. In a balanced ecosystem with predators and prey, if the number of prey decreases • The number of predators will decrease. • New predators will move into the area. • There will be no change in the ecosystem. • The number of prey will eventually increase.

  39. 38. A forest destroyed by a fire will gradually become a complex ecosystem with a wide variety of plants and animals in a process called • Regeneration. • Evolution. • Succession. • Development.
