No

What

is the volume of this rectangle?

20 x 3 x 6 = 360 cm3
The

density is 180/360 = 0.5 g/cm3

It will float because it is less dense than
water

Which

is more dense?

The rubbing alcohol because it is on the bottom

Volume

= 60 30 = 30 cm3
The density is 120/30 = 4 g/cm3

What

would happen to the density if you

increased the mass of the rock in
question 8?
It would increase (it would be more dense)

What

would happen to the density if you

increased the volume?
It would decrease

What

evidence is there that particles of

matter are constantly moving?

happens to the movement of

particles of matter when they are heated?
They speed up

What

happens to the volume of particles

when they are heated?
It increases it spread out more

What

happens to the sidewalks on a hot

summer day?
They expand the cracks would get smaller

If

a balloon drops to the ground when

released, what does that tell you about its
density?
It is more dense than the air

What

if it rises?

It is less dense than the air

You

measure the mass of 100 ml of water

to be 100g. What is the density of water?
1 g/ml

You

measure the mass of 100 ml of air to

be 1 g. What is the density of air?
0.01 g/ml

bottle containing sand, silt, clay, and

water is shaken up. Draw what the bottle
would look like after the shaking stops.

Which

particles will be suspended?

The silt and clay

Where

would you expect to find sand

deposits on a curve in a river?
On the inside

Why?

Because that is where the water moves slowest

Draw

a model of the earth with each layer

labeled.

Cell Wall

supports and protects the cell

Cell membrane allows stuff in and out
of the cell
Nucleus contains information for
building things in the cell
Chloroplast makes food in plant cells
Cytoplasm it is a thick substance that
everything is floating in

If

you observed a human cell and a cell

from a plant, what two differences would
you see?
The plant cells would have a cell wall and

chloroplasts

What

is the process called that moves

oxygen (or any molecule) in or out of the
cell?
Diffusion

Which

way will the oxygen move in this

example?

100 oxygen molecules outside

50 oxygen molecules

What

part of a cell produces energy from

food?
Mitochondria
What

part makes food?

Chloroplasts

Put

the levels of organization in order

from most simple to most complex.
Cells
Tissues
Organs
Organ systems
Organisms

What

level of organization is represented

by each of the following?
Heart - organ
Muscle - tissue
Cactus - organism

 Every

cell needs oxygen and food to

survive. We also need to get rid of waste.
What three organ systems are most
responsible for distributing food and
oxygen to every cell in our body and then
removing waste products?

Respiratory obtains oxygen and gets rid of carbon

dioxide
Circulatory transports oxygen, food, and carbon
dioxide
Digestive breaks down food and sends it to the
blood stream

What

tissues and cells make up a heart?

Nervous tissue, muscle tissue, blood tissue,

nerve cells, muscle cells, red blood cells

What

organ system is a heart a part of?

The circulatory system

Indicate

whether the following are

inherited traits or acquired traits.
Eye color - Inherited
Piano playing ability - Acquired
Ability to read - Acquired
Height - inherited
Right handedness - Acquired

Sexual

Asexual

Number of parents

Variation in offspring

A lot of variation

Exactly the same

Examples

Most animals and plants Bacteria, yeast

What

three things does an organism need

to do to survive as a species?
Get food
Avoid predators
Reproduce

How

do these three traits help the

organism survive?
Body structure
Help them get food or escape (ex: hollow bones
help birds fly)
Teeth structure
Help them get food or escape (ex: A cows flat
teeth grind up grass)
Coloration
Hide from predators or prey, attract a mate

In

what environment would white

coloration be helpful to survival of an
organism?
In an environment with lots of snow

In

what environment would it not be

helpful?
In a green forest

What

is mimicry?

When one organism copies what another

organism does to avoid predators or get food

What

is hybridization?

Mixing two different traits from two different

parents

How

do dairy farmers use breeding to

increase milk production?
They only allow cows that produce a lot of milk

to reproduce so their offspring will produce a lot

of milk.

Divide

the following into two groups

based on similarities. Then divide them
into three groups based on different
criteria..

Paper, rabbit, horse, plant, fried

chicken, rock, water

Living

Non-living or once-living

Plant
Horse
Rabbit

Paper
Fried chicken
Rock
Water

Things that are plants

or from plants

Things that have never Things that are

been living
animals

Paper
Plant

Water
Rock

Rabbit
Horse
Fried chicken

What

is the difference between living,

nonliving, and once living?
Living has all 6 characteristics of living things
Non-living has never been alive
Once-living used to be alive

37.

What kind of characteristics should

be used to classify living things?
Physical characteristics (not behaviors)

Kingdom

Characteristics

Examples

Protista

Leftover kingdom

Amoeba, diatoms,
brown algae

Fungi

Absorbs nutrients from

surroundings
Cell wall made of chitin

Mushrooms, yeast

Plantae

Makes its own food

Cell wall and
chloroplasts

Trees, flowering plants,

mosses, green algae

Animalia

Eats to get energy

No cell wall

Reptiles, sponges,
anemones, mammals,
insects

39.

Aristotle divided all living things into

only two kingdoms. Why do we have
more than two kingdoms now?
Weve discovered new organisms that arent

plants or animals

40. How

has technology helped us to

classify organisms?
It helps us to observe organisms more closely,

especially microscopic organisms and looking at

DNA
