Below are sample questions representative of the exercises included on this worksheet and related 9.9 Evidence, Claims, and Reasoning in Multiple Choice skill assessments:

Problem 1Difficulty: Mastery

Use the evidence table shown. A student claims that adding reflective roofs and trees can reduce urban heat through surface-energy feedbacks. Which evidence best supports the claim?

AThe reflective roofs were easier to see in the aerial photo.

BAll blocks were located within the same city boundary.

CBlocks with roofs and trees had more reflection, lower temperature, and higher humidity.

DThe tree-lined block had more benches than the dark-roof block.

Solution & Explanation:The reflected-light, temperature, and humidity data connect surface changes to energy and water feedbacks. Benches, visibility, and city boundary do not directly support the mechanism.

Problem 2Difficulty: Mastery

An engineering team claims that a redesigned solar charger is more resilient than the first model. Which evidence best supports the claim?

AThe redesign was drawn with darker lines in the sketch.

BThe first model was labeled Version 1.

CBoth models used wires and a small solar panel.

DThe redesign kept producing power after drop and cloudy-light tests; the first failed.

Solution & Explanation:Resilience means maintaining function under stress, so performance after drops and cloudy-light tests supports the claim. Sketch style, labels, and shared parts do not show resilience.

Problem 3Difficulty: Mastery

A student claims that Newton's third-law force pairs are equal even when the objects have different masses. Which evidence best supports the claim?

AThe heavier cart moved more slowly after the collision.

BThe motion sensor was connected to a laptop.

CSensors on unequal-mass carts recorded equal opposite forces at the same time.

DThe carts were placed on a low-friction track.

Solution & Explanation:Equal and opposite simultaneous force readings directly support the third-law claim. Different motion afterward relates to acceleration and mass, not force-pair size.
