SQUADS CPW ACT Prep Round 3 Subject: 11th Grade Science Agenda Page 47 Week 14 Learning Intentions - Today, I am going to practice College Readiness Standards in Science: Evaluation of Models, Inferences, and Experimental Results, 20-23 Scientific Investigation, 24-27 Evaluation of Models, Inferences, and Experimental Results, 28-32 Scientific Investigation, 20-23 SQUADS Success Criteria – You know you are successful when you can compare data from a simple data presentation, interpolate between data points in a table or graph, and select a prediction that is supported by a data presentation.

Please Note You have 4 Minutes to read your passage. You will have 1 minute and 15 seconds to work on each question individually. You will have 1 minute and 30 seconds to work as a group and write your rationales for each answer.

Grade 11th Science #1. Based on the results of Study 4, how did fragmentation most likely affect the population sizes of insectivores and hummingbirds in the fragments studied? Fragmentation increased the population sizes of both insectivores and hummingbirds. Fragmentation decreased the population sizes of both insectivores and hummingbirds. Fragmentation increased the population size of insectivores and decreased the population size of hummingbirds. Fragmentation decreased the population size of insectivores and increased the population size of hummingbirds.

Grade 11th Science #2. Based on the results of Study 1, if the distance from the center of a 100 m x 100 m plot were 75 m from the nearest clearing, the expected average change in AGTB at the plot over 17 yr would be closest to which of the following values? -1.1 t/yr -2.6 t/yr +1.1/yr +2.6 t/yr

Grade 11th Science #3. After examining the results of Study 2, a student concluded that the AGTB at each of the 25 plots remained constant. Which of the following alternative explanations is also consistent with the results? The AGTB at all 25 plots increased. The AGTB at all 25 plots decreased. The AGTB at some of the plots increased and the AGTB at some of the plots decreased. The AGTB at plots bounded by forest increased and the AGTB at plots bounded by clearings remained constant.

Grade 11th Science #4. Which of the following sets of results from the studies is least consistent with the prediction proposed by the researchers? The results of Study 1 for AGTB The results of Study 3 for AGTB The results of Study 4 for frugivores The results of Study 4 for hummingbirds

Grade 11th Science #5. In Study 4, the researchers trapped birds for 10,000 hr per year. Thus, how many insectivores were trapped in Year 2? 80 100 800 1,000

CPW 11th Grade Science 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.
