ANSWERS GRADED A+
Government and the Responsibilities of Citizens - ANS-1. Declaration of independence2. Articles of
confederation3. US Constitution4. Bill of Rights 5. Values include life, liberty, pursuit of happiness,
common good, justice, equality, truth, diversity, popular sovereignty, and patriotism
Chemical energy - ANS-is stored in the bonds of our food, held for later conversion to kinetic energy and
heat in our bodies.
Potential energy - ANS-is held in an icicle hanging off the roof
Atomic theory - ANS-which view atoms and molecules as the fundamental building blocks of all matter,
would be modified or abandoned if it didn't also explain other observations
Phase changes - ANS-are also explained using atomic theory
Boiling point - ANS-is the temperature at which the vapor pressure of molecules leaving solution equals
the atmospheric pressure.
All matter has a temperature above the theoretical value of absolute zero because - ANS-all matter is in
continual motion.
,Motion of atoms and molecules - ANS-is essential to our understanding of matter at the molecular level
but we have many examples of motion readily available on he macroscopic level in the world around us.
Waves - ANS-are one mechanism of energy transport from one location to another. Waves are periodic
in their nature, and the concept of periodicity (cycles) is one of the key interdisciplinary concepts that
include the motions of planets, the properties of elements, life cycles of plants and animals. A wave with
greater energy has greater amplitude.
Light - ANS-is energy and darkness is the absence of that energy.
White light - ANS-comprises all the visible wavelengths. Color is a property that light already has. White
light passing through a prism, raindrop, or spectroscope can be separated into its constituent colors.
Atmosphere - ANS-is the layer of gases held close to the Earth by gravitational forces.
Constitutional Principles - ANS-1. The rule of law2. Separation of powers 3. Representative
government4. Checks and balances5. Individual righs 6. Freedom of religion7. Federalism8. Limited
government9. Civilian control of the military
Essential democratic principles include - ANS-those principles fundamental to the American judicial
system, including: the right to due process of law; the right to a fair and speedy trial, protection from
unlawful search and seizure, and the right to decline to self-incriminate
It is essential for citizens to be active - ANS-in order to maintain a democratic society.
Cultural diversity - ANS-understanding the role of cultural diversity in shaping Illinois, the US, and the
world should include an understanding of the struggles various groups undertake to gain equality and
recognition within society.
Historical perspective of the role of cultural diversity - ANS-in shaping the development of Illinois and
the US begins by gaining a sense of the types of people who came to colonial America and their reasons
for coming. Consider the immigrants who sought to assimilate themselves into American culture,
contributions of immigrant groups to American culture, and ways that immigrants have been exploited.
, Understanding economics - ANS-involves exploring the implications of scarcity (the concept that wants
are unlimited while resources are limited).
Economic understanding is rooted in - ANS-exploring principles of choice, opportunity costs, incentives,
trade, and economic systems. It includes price, competition, profit, inflation, economic institutions,
money, and interest rates play within a market system.
Systems of shared power - ANS-include federal systems, where sovereign states delegate powers to a
central government; a federal system, where a national government shares power with state and local
governments; and Unitarian systems where all power is concentrated in a centralized government.
Five themes of geography - ANS-place, human-environmental interaction, location, movement and
connections and regions, patterns, and processes.
Absolute location - ANS-is determined by longitude and latitude.
Relative location - ANS-deals with interactions that occur between and among places. Relative location
involves the interconnectedness among people because of land, water, and technology. For example
knowledge of the history of Chicago includes an understanding of how its location at the base of Lake
Michigan and its relationship to rivers has contributed to its economic development and vitality.
Understanding the theme of human-environmental interaction - ANS-involves consideration of how
people rely on the environment, how we alter it, and how the environment may limit what people are
able to do. For example, knowledge of the meat and grain industries in Illinois history includes an
understanding of how the people of Illinois utilized the Great Lakes and Ohio and Mississippi rivers to
take their products to regional markets. For example, an adaptation of the environment that aided
Illinois shipping industry was the development of the lock and dam system on the Mississippi.
Understanding of the theme of location, movement, and connections involves identifying - ANS-climatic,
economic, political, and cultural patterns within regions. Understanding why these patterns were
created includes how climatic systems, communications networks, international trade, political systems,
and population changes contributed to a region's development. An understanding of regions enables a
social scientist to study their uniqueness and relationship to other regions.
