(I5) fossil fuel renewable resource smog geothermal energy Identify which of the 3 R’s is being illustrated in the diagram and explain your answer. (2 pts.) 3/16/07 4. (E2) During our space unit we discussed many differences and similarities between planets and stars. Draw a Venn diagram below and list a minimum of two differences for each and one similarity. (5 pts.) 5. (E1) Explain in your own words how day and night occur. (2 pts.) 6. (E 3) Models can be used to represent scientific phenomena. Explain how a hard-boiled egg can be used as a model of the earth. Identify 1 limitation with the model. (2 pts.) 7. (E 1,3) The earth completes a revolution once every . a. year b. day c. month 8. (E 5) d. week Resources that are gone forever once they’re used up are called 3/16/07 . a. b. c. d. inexhaustible resources renewable resources nonrenewable resources raw materials 9. (E5) Give an example of a nonrenewable resource. Explain why we should conserve it. (2 pts.) Use the information below: 10. (I 2) Jackson recorded the sunrise and sunset times for ten days in a row. He put his observations in the table to the right. Day Sunrise Sunset What can Jackson conclude about the length of the days during this period? a. They got longer. b. They got shorter. c. They stayed the same length. 11. (E3) Identify where on the earth we can find the coldest temperatures. Why are these locations the coldest? (2 pts.) 3/16/07 12. (E 2,3) Look at the picture below. List the nine planets in the correct order from the sun to the edge of the solar system. (6 pts.) Jupiter 13. Uranus The earth’s rotation around its axis causes which of the following? (E 1,3) a. b. c. d. eclipses of the moon seasons of the year phases of the moon day and night 14. (E5) Which action helps conserve a nonrenewable resource? a. b. c. d. rotating crops storing water in reservoirs recycling used newspapers riding a bike instead of driving a car 3/16/07 15. (I) Why are models particularly helpful to the study of our solar system? What problems can they cause? (2 pts.) 16. (E4) A star a. b. c. d. . does not produce its own light. rotates around the sun is a huge globe of hot gases. is the planet Jupiter 17. (E4) What is true about the brightness of stars? a. b. c. d. The closer a star is, the brighter it appears. All stars have the same brightness. Red stars are the hottest and brightest stars. The sun is the brightest star in the universe. Use the following picture to answer questions 18 and 19: 3/16/07 18. (E1, 3) What does the symbol above Earth’s axis represent in the diagram above? a b. c. d. revolution an eclipse an orbit a rotation 19. (E1, 3) What paths do the dotted lines represent in the diagram above? a. b. c. d. axis eclipses orbits rotations 20. (E 4) The sun is much bigger than the moon. Why do they look like they are the same size in the sky? a. b. c. d. Because the Sun is much further away from us than the Moon. Because the Moon is much further away from us than the Sun. Because the Moon is hidden behind the Sun. Because the Moon is really a star. 21. (I1) A telescope can be used to observe stars and planets because the lenses… a. make very tiny objects appear larger b. make close objects appear larger c. make distant objects appear nearer and larger d. make small objects easier to see Use the following information: 3/16/07 22. (W1) While the planets visible to the naked eye have been observed for thousands of years, Uranus wasn’t discovered until 1781, Neptune until 1846, and Pluto later. Which statement is best supported by this information? a. b. c. d. Current information about the solar system may change. Because information changes often, scientists cannot use it. Nothing new was discovered about the solar system after 1930. New moons will be discovered around the planets in our solar system. 23. (E3) Earth’s atmosphere has oxygen in it, but there is no oxygen in the atmospheres on Mercury, Venus, or Mars. Where did all the oxygen in earth’s atmosphere probably come from? a. b. c. d. stars plants on earth giving off oxygen during photosynthesis animals breathing out oxygen outer space 24.
