Below are sample questions representative of the exercises included on this worksheet and related 5.61 Model Interactions among Geosphere, Biosphere, Hydrosphere, and Atmosphere skill assessments:

Problem 1Difficulty: Mastery
Look at the planned school-garden diagram after a thunderstorm: dark clouds overhead, rainwater flowing across soil, vegetable plants with roots in the ground, worms in the soil, a puddle, and arrows showing evaporation later in the day. Which statement best explains why this is a strong Earth systems model?
Ait uses the most colors of any model
Bit proves rain never causes erosion
Cit shows only one system at a time
Dit includes the atmosphere, hydrosphere, geosphere, and biosphere and shows several interactions among them
Solution & Explanation:A strong Earth systems model shows multiple systems and the connections among them, not just a single object or event.
Problem 2Difficulty: Mastery
Which real-world dataset would best help test a model that says plant cover reduces erosion after storms?
Adaily lunch counts at a nearby school
Bnumber of seats in local buses
Csediment amounts in runoff from planted and bare plots after similar rain events
Dcloud names observed at night
Solution & Explanation:Sediment in runoff directly measures erosion, and comparing planted and bare plots tests the model.
Problem 3Difficulty: Mastery
Which is the best critique of a model that uses only words in boxes, with no labels on parts and no arrows?
Ait cannot be read by students
Bit does not clearly show what the parts are or how the systems interact
Cit is automatically wrong because it uses words
Dit includes too much evidence
Solution & Explanation:A strong model identifies the parts of the systems and shows the relationships among them.
