Below are sample questions representative of the exercises included on this worksheet and related 9.1 Science Questions and Testable Problems skill assessments:

Problem 1Difficulty: Mastery

A community debate concerns wind turbines near a ridge. Which question turns part of the debate into a testable scientific or engineering investigation?

AWhy do ridges want turbines nearby?

BHow does ridge distance affect model power output with blade design and wind speed controlled?

CShould everyone in town support wind turbines?

DWhich turbine is the most beautiful on the skyline?

Solution & Explanation:The correct question isolates a measurable relationship that can inform the debate. The broader decision also depends on values, economics, and community priorities.

Problem 2Difficulty: Mastery

A class models aerosols by placing different amounts of fine, safe powder between a lamp and a light sensor. Which evidence best answers whether aerosols reduce light reaching a surface?

AA survey of which powder amount looks most realistic

BA drawing of a cloudy sky

CLight readings from the same sensor with varied powder and fixed lamp distance

DA paragraph about why sunlight feels warm

Solution & Explanation:The question is about light reaching a surface, so controlled light-intensity readings are relevant evidence. Drawings, surveys, and descriptions do not test the effect.

Problem 3Difficulty: Mastery

Which question connects cause and effect to observable evidence without overclaiming?

AWhy does salt want water to be heavier?

BShould all water contain more salt?

CDoes salt make water better in every possible way?

DHow does increasing dissolved salt concentration affect measured water density in equal-volume samples?

Solution & Explanation:The correct question uses a clear cause and measurable effect. The distractors make broad, value-based, or anthropomorphic claims.
