1 Name Physical Science Final Core Exam Student Study Guide Your Physical Science Final Exam addresses the basic study of Physics including the Scientific Method and Laboratory Techniques and Safety. The 100-point exam consists of two major parts: Part I: Seventy percent (70%), or 70 points, of the exam is made up of core questions developed by a committee of St. Charles Parish Public Schools Science Teachers. This portion consists of: A. 50 selected response questions, each worth 1 point each. Total value: 50 points B. 5 problems, each worth 2 points. Total value: 10 points. and 2 essay questions, each worth 5 points. Total value: 10 points The core portion of the final exam is worth a total of 70 points. Part II: Thirty percent (30%), or 30 points, of the exam is determined by each individual Physical Science teacher as she/he feels appropriate for her/his classes. Questions on the exam include the following types: (a) Knowledge Level: Selected or constructed response. These questions involve the mastery (knowing and understanding) of subject matter. (b) Reasoning Level: Selected or constructed response. These questions require the use of knowledge to reason and solve problems. (c) Skills/Application Level: Constructed response. These questions involve the demonstration of application of procedural knowledge and reasoning. (d) Products Level: Constructed response. These questions require the use of skills to create a tangible product or performance. NOTE: Selected response questions are those questions tested by a multiple choice, matching, or true-false questions. Constructed response questions are those questions, which require the student to respond in writing. St. Charles Public Parish Schools Physical Science FINAL Core Exam Page 1 of 14

2 CHAPTER 1- Nature of Science 1. Define problem, hypothesis, independent variable, dependent variable, constant, and conclusion. 2. Read the experiments below. List the problem, independent (manipulated) variable, dependent (responding) variable, constants, control, and the conclusion for each experiment. Experiment 1 10 ivy plants are placed in one window so each plant receives the same sunlight and temperature every day. Plants 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 are given 1 ml of the new fertilizer, SQUIRT, in 10 ml of water every week. Plants 6, 7, 8, 9, and 10 are given only 10 ml of water every week. The experiment continues for 5 weeks. Observations of the plant are made every week, which include the number and color of leaves. After 5 weeks plants 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 had more green leaves than all other plants. Experiment 2 An experiment was designed to investigate the effect of mass on the rate of fall of different objects. The students were given the following materials and asked to find the mass of each: a. small block of wood b. large block of wood c. flat piece of loose leaf paper d. crumbled piece of paper e. metal rod f. block of Styrofoam The students used the same meter stick, stopwatch, and dropped each object from the same height. After dropping all of the objects, the students found that the heaviest objects were not necessarily the fastest. The students also noticed that the crumbled paper and the flat paper, both with the same mass, fell at different rates.
