Below are sample questions representative of the exercises included on this worksheet and related 6.5 Models in Science skill assessments:

Problem 1Difficulty: Mastery
A district wants to plan where to plant trees to lower summer sidewalk temperatures. Which model is best?
AA bar graph of leaf colors
BA poem about shade
CA photo of one tree
DA map with building shadows, sun exposure, pavement areas, prevailing wind, and possible tree locations
Solution & Explanation:Tree-planting decisions depend on location, sunlight, surfaces, and airflow, so a planning map is the strongest model.
Problem 2Difficulty: Mastery
Which model would best support the claim that matter is conserved when baking soda reacts with vinegar in a sealed bag?
AA photo of the inflated bag
BA line graph of reaction time
CA particle model showing atoms rearranging before and after the reaction with the same total count
DA list of safety rules
Solution & Explanation:Conservation of matter is best supported by a particle model that shows the same atoms present before and after, just rearranged.
Problem 3Difficulty: Mastery
To explain why nearby towns can get different snowfall totals in the same storm, which model is best?
AA pie chart of winter sports
BA topographic weather map with elevation, wind direction, moisture path, and temperature zones
CA photo of one snowflake
DA list of town names
Solution & Explanation:Different snowfall totals depend on land shape and moving air, so the model must combine those factors.
