8 6 The students needed to buy soil to grow flowers. Which container of garden soil should they buy and why? F Either one because they are both garden soil. G Brown Garden Soil because it has the highest amount of humus. H Tan Garden Soil because it has the least amount of sand. J Tan Garden Soil because it has the most amount of gravel. 7 The model of the solar system shown above differs from the real solar system because this model - A does not show the correct total number of planets B should have made Jupiter the same size as Saturn C should have made Saturn bigger than Jupiter D does not show the correct order of the planets Page 6

9 Use the following graphic for questions 8 and 9. land water erosion * * Students poured water over the land in the stream table shown above.
