Below are sample questions representative of the exercises included on this worksheet and related 6.7 Obtaining, Evaluating, and Communicating Information skill assessments:

Problem 1Difficulty: Mastery

Which strategy best communicates the study accurately for this audience?

AUse plain language to explain the main finding, include one key number with context (and uncertainty), and mention at least one limitation with a citation to the study

BRemove all numbers and say "Scientists discovered something important"

CCopy the entire methods section word-for-word

DUse dramatic claims and leave out limitations so readers are impressed

Solution & Explanation:Good communication matches the audience while staying accurate: plain language, a key result with context, and at least one limitation plus a citation. Option A keeps the summary understandable and trustworthy.

Problem 2Difficulty: Mastery

Which conclusion communicates the information most appropriately, and why?

AConclusion 1, because "prove" is stronger

BConclusion 2, because it reports what was tested without claiming only one factor matters

CBoth conclusions are equally good

DNeither conclusion is acceptable because experiments cannot show anything

Solution & Explanation:Conclusion 2 stays within the evidence and the tested conditions. It avoids an absolute claim that tire type is the only factor, which would require more evidence.

Problem 3Difficulty: Mastery

Which addition best improves communication so others can evaluate the result?

AAdd a slogan: "A is amazing!"

BAdd a picture of a shirt

CDefine the scoring method (how stain removal was measured), show sample size, and explain how the percentage was calculated

DUse larger numbers to make it look impressive

Solution & Explanation:Clear communication requires operational definitions, sample size, and transparent calculations. Option C provides the details needed for evaluation and replication.
