SQUADS #1

1. CPW Learning Intentions - Today, I am going to address these College Readiness Standards in Science: Interpretation of Data: 16-19 Interpretation of Data: 16-19 Scientific Investigation: 16-19 Scientific Investigation: 16-19 SQUADS #1 “9th Grade Science” Success Criteria – I know I am successful when I can selected two pieces of data from a simple data presentation and identify the methods and tolls used in a simple experiment.

2. Quick Note! • Today’s questions are based on the printed passage you will receive shortly. After reading your passage individually, choose the best answer to each question. You may refer to the passages as often as necessary. • You have 3 Minutes to read your passage!

3. 9th Grade Science #1. Based on the results of Study 1, the highest percent of finches on Island B and Island C had a beak depth of:

4. 9th Grade Science #2. During which of the following years were small seeds likely most abundant on Island B? • 1977 • 1980 • 1982 • 1984

5. 9th Grade Science #3. Study 1 differed from Study 2 in which of the following ways? • G. fortisfinches were captured during Study 1 but not during Study 2. • G. fuliginosa finches were captured during Study 1 but not during Study 2. • The beak depth of captured birds was measured during Study 1 but not during Study 2. • The beak depth of captured birds was measured during Study 2 but not during Study 1.

6. 9th Grade Science #4. It is most likely that the researchers tagged the birds that they captured during Study 1 to: • determine how beak depth was affected by rainfall on Island A. • determine the average age of each finch population. • ensure that the beak depth of each finch was measured multiple times during Study 1. • ensure that the beak depth of each finch was measured only once during Study 1.
