Learning Intentions - Today, we will address these College Readiness Standards in Science:

1.Interpretation of Data, 16-19

2.Interpretation of Data, 16-19

3.Scientific Investigation, 16-19

4.Scientific Investigation, 16-19

Success Criteria – I know I am successful when I can select two pieces of data from a simple data presentation and identify the methods and tolls used in a simple experiment.

A. 8 mm 8 mmB. 9 mm 12 mmC. 10 mm 8 mmD. 10 mm 10 mm

9th Grade Science#2. During which of the following years were small seeds likely most abundant on Island B?A.1977B.1980C.1982D.1984

9th Grade Science#3. Study 1 differed from Study 2 in which of the following ways?A.G. fortis finches were captured during Study 1 but not during Study 2.B.G. fuliginosa finches were captured during Study 1 but not during Study 2.C.The beak depth of captured birds was measured during Study 1 but not during Study 2.D.The beak depth of captured birds was measured during Study 2 but not during Study 1.

9th Grade Science#4. It is most likely that the researchers tagged the birds that they captured during Study 1 to:A.determine how beak depth was affected by rainfall on Island A. B.determine the average age of each finch population.C.ensure that the beak depth of each finch was measured multiple times during Study 1.D.ensure that the beak depth of each finch was measured only once during Study 1.

• Repeat the questions with your squad members. Be sure to write a rationale. If you don’t write a rationale, you won’t learn as much. Your brain is like a muscle. Use it!

• 1 minute and 30 seconds per question for Squad Mode.

• After the rationale writing is done, launch the Answers video.
