TEST TAKING STRATEGIES The information that we will cover is all review. You have seen it before.

Today we are working on answering higher level thinking questions from past material.

Things you need to do. You should be able to answer the questions and provide a justification. Showing justification shows true mastery.

1. Read the question and determine what is it really asking you? Look for key vocabulary words and context clues for words you don’t know.

2. Anticipate an answer prior to reading your selections.

3. Process of elimination. You should be able to cross out of at least 1 This will increase your chances of selecting the correct response.

4. For the correct answer you should be able to justify your answer.

5. If you can’t answer the question skip it and move on to the next.

6. When you are done go back and answer the question you did not.

7. DO NOT LEAVE ANY BLANKS!!!!!

LAW OF SUPERPOSITIONLaw of superposition states that the older layer is on the bottom and the younger is on top.

Unconformity- a layer of missing rock caused by erosion (if it takes place) or deposition (if it is not taking place).

Deposition- addition/accumulation of new material

Erosion – the wearing away of material

According to the Law of Superposition at which dept in a multi-layered rock formation will the oldest rock likely be found?

A. 10 m

B. 50 m

C. 300m

D. 500m

Which type of dating method can be used on rock layers by applying the law of superposition?

A. Relative dating

B. Absolute dating

and 3?A. Layer 1 C. Layer 3

B. Layer 2 D. Layer 4

CONTINENTAL DRIFT

Evidence : 1. Continents fit like puzzle pieces

2. Identical fossils found on different continents

3. Identical rock sequence (geology)

4. Ancient climate (example topical fossils found on Antarctica)

Continents spread apart this theory didn’t explain the forces that moved it but The Theory of Plate tectonics did!! Convention currents in the mantle.

A SCIENTIST FINDS FOSSILS FROM THE SAME ORGANISM IN BOTH INDIA AND AFRICA. WHAT IS A POSSIBLE EXPLANATION FOR THE PRESENCE OF THESE FOSSILS ON TWO DIFFERENT CONTINENTS? A. Adaptation

B. Continental Drift

A. continents located in tropical regions

B. tracing human ancestry to several original groups

C. mountains ranges that begin on one continent and continue on another

D. animals that develop differently depending on which continent they live

If identical fossil remains of plants and animals that

lived 175 million years ago were found in Iceland,

Europe, Africa and Brazil, what would be the best

conclusion?

A. Iceland, Europe, Africa, and Brazil were all once

part of the mid-Atlantic ridge.

less than 175 million years ago.

C. The breakup of an ancient supercontinent occurred more that 175 million years ago.

D. Iceland, Europe, Africa, and Brazil currently have the sane animals inhabiting them.

EVOLUTION (MEANS TO CHANGE)The geologic time scale is a record of earth’s history which is categorized by major events (example 1st form of life).

Mass extinction- large amount of organisms die example of events that can cause this are volcanoes and asteroids.

Natural selection/adaptation- organism change in response to their environment.(Darwin’s finches their beaks matched what they ate)

The greater the diversity the greater the chances are for that species to survive during environmental changes.

Those traits that increase survival are passed on from generation to generation.

Which best explains why some species of animalsare found living only in certain groups of islandsand nowhere else in the world?

A. The islands have similar climates.B. The islands are geographically isolatedC. There are few natural predators found there.D. The food these animals eat is only found there.

ATOMIC STRUCTUREElements are made up of atoms. Elements can be found on the periodic table (YOU WILL HAVE ONE FOR THE EOG)

Formulas

Atomic # (TOP #/smaller#) = # protons

# protons = #electrons

Mass#(bottom#/larger#)= # protons + # neutrons

*** to calculate # neutrons = Mass# - Atomic #Subatomic Particle

Charge Location

Proton Positive charge Located inside of the nucleus

Neutron No charge/neutral Located inside of the nucleus

Electron Negative charge Outside the nucleus

PERIODIC TABLE REVIEW Elements in the same groups(vertical column) react and behave similarly.

Elements are given a symbol including a capital letter and sometimes a lower case letter. EXAMPLE C –Carbon and Co-Cobalt

Important groups: 1- alkali metal most reactive,2 alkaline metals,17-halogens,18-noble gases (inert not to react).

Most of the elements are metals.

Elements are :natural (occur in nature) or synthetic (man-made) synthetic elements are the group at the bottom.

Group 1 Alkali Metals

ENERGY TRANSFER

All organisms require energy for growth, maintenance, reproduction, locomotion, etc..

The SUN is the ultimate source of energy without it, the most basic forms of life would not exist

Food(nutrients-proteins, carbohydrates, fats, lipids) provides molecules that serve as fuel and building material for all organisms

Carbohydrates – provides energy for cells

Proteins – helps build and repair muscle

Fats – acts as he body's insulator protecting organs and absorbing shocks, helps process vitamins and minerals, and provides energy

ENERGY TRANSFER

Mitosis/Meiosis- are the processes of growing and dividing to produce new cells

Photosynthesis- Chemical reaction where green plants use water & carbon dioxide to store the sun’s energy in glucose

Cellular Respiration- is the chemical reaction that releases the energy stored in the chemical bonds of glucose

Where do plants get most of the energy they need to live and grow?A waterB soilC airD sunlight

Which food provides the most energy for the body in the shortest amount of time?A potatoB meatC milkD fruit

Why is protein an important part of a healthy diet?A It is needed to change glucose to energy.B It is needed to store nutrients.C It is needed to repair tissue.D It is needed to produce water.

Ecosystem- all biotic (living) factors & abiotic (non-living) factors that interact in an environmentProducers- Organism that make their own food by capturing energy from the sun

Consumers- are organisms that feed on other organisms.

Energy flows from sun to organism to organism

The energy flow from one trophic level to the other is called a food chainA food chain is simple and directIt involves one organism at each trophic level

-Primary Consumers – eat producers-Secondary Consumers – eat the primary consumers-Tertiary Consumer-eat the secondary consumer-Decomposers – bacteria and fungi that break down dead organisms and recycle the material back into the environment

Parasitism – one species feeds on another enhancesfitness of parasite but reduces fitness of host

Mutualism – two species provide resources or servicesto each other enhances fitness of both species

Commensalism – one species receives a benefit fromanother species enhances fitness of one species; noeffect on fitness of the other species

Symbiosis – two species live together can includeparasitism, mutualism, and commensalism

Ecological Interactions can affect distribution and abundance and influence evolution.
