Rain washes a pesticide into a river. How would the pesticide most likely end up in the tissues of a fish-eating osprey, which does not drink river water?
Which of these is not considered a consumer in an ecosystem?
a deer eating berries
a vulture eating a dead animal
a plant producing flowers
a mushroom growing on a dead log
A lunar cycle occurs approximately once every (give three examples)
When viewed from earth, when will the illuminated side of venus most likely be the brightest?
when venus is closest to earth
when the magnetic field on venus is the strongest
when volcanoes on venus are most active
when venus has the highest surface temperature

Which body is an asteroid?
Which season begins in the northern hemisphere when earth is at position 3 and what season begins in the southern hemisphere 3 months later?
Based on these data, what type of weather should the students predict for later in the afternoon?
Solar cookers use sunlight to cook food. An engineer wants to build a solar cooker that will cook faster than those that are currently available. After building the prototype, which step should the engineer perform next?
research features of current solar cookers

A student is designing and building a solar oven for a school project. The project requires the solar oven to reach at least 90°c inside, using only energy from the sun. How and with what instrument should the student use to test the prototype.
Which of these is the direct cause of air movement between areas of high and low pressure?
solar energy
geothermal energy
magnetic field of earth
pull of gravity from the moon
Name the form of potential energy for each of the above pictures.
What energy conversion most likely happens as the acrobat moves from point 1 to point 2?
A scientist is studying a host-parasite relationship in a freshwater pond. The scientist needs to identify the species of the parasite in the tissue of the host. Which instrument would best help the scientist identify the parasite?
Movement of ocean currents is mainly caused by
the magnetic field of earth.
temperature differences in the water.
the gravitational pull from the sun.
runoff of fresh water from land.
Describe how the honeyeater indirectly receives energy from the sun.
One fingernail-sized pellet of nuclear fuel has the same amount of energy as nearly 500 kilograms of coal or nearly 400 liters of gasoline. When nuclear fuel is converted to electricity, why is the total power value of the electricity less than that of the nuclear fuel that was used?
Scientist's developed a new pesticide to protect food crops from rodents. Which is the most likely unintended negative consequence of spraying the new pesticide on crops?
changes to the water cycle patterns
increased crop production
increased safety when crops are consumed
changes to the flow of energy through the food web
How does the quoll receive energy directly?
Students set up an experiment to investigate how temperature differences in water create currents. The students fill three identical tanks with the same amount of 20°c water. They put identical heaters in each tank. In the first tank, the heater is set to 20°c. in the second tank, the heater is set to 30°c. in the third tank, the heater is set to 40°c. The student then places drops of dye in the tanks to observe the water movement. What is the dependent variable in the experiment?
These data are charecterstic conditions of a
Which energy transformation must occur for this circuit to produce sound?
Some elements in a coniferous forest include snow, trees, deer, and birds. Which is an abiotic element in this biome?
