NYSTCE Multi-Subject Part 3 - Arts
and Sciences Exam 2025 Questions
and Answers 100% Pass
Scientific Method - ✔✔An emperical method of procedure that has characterized
natural science since the 17th century, consisting in systematic observation,
measurement, and experiment, and the formulation, testing, and modification of
hypotheses.
- Acceptable experimentation techniques to ensure results are not skewed
- Objectivity needed for valid results
- Peer review
- Experiments must be performed and recorded in a way that it can be reproduced to
verify answers
The Steps of the Scientific Method - ✔✔1. Define the problem
2. Research or collect background data
3. Formulate a hypothesis or an educated guess
5. Conduct experiments or tests

,6. Analyze the results of the test
7. Draw conclusions
Regression Analysis - ✔✔In statistical modeling, regression analysis is a set of statistical
processes for estimating the relationships between a dependent variable and one or
more independent variables.
Sedimentary Rocks - ✔✔Sedimentary rocks are types of rock that are formed by the
accumulation or deposition of small particles and subsequent cementation of mineral or
organic particles on the floor of oceans or other bodies of water at the Earth's surface
- Erosion and weathering include the effects of wind and rain, which slowly break
down large rocks into sediments, such as sand or mud. Precipitation and lithification
are processes that build new rocks or minerals.
- Precipitation is the formation of rocks and minerals from chemicals that precipitate
from water. For example, as a lake dries up over many thousands of years, it leaves
behind mineral deposits.
- Lithification is the process by which clay, sand, and other sediments on the bottom of
the ocean or other bodies of water are slowly compacted into rocks from the weight of
overlying sediments.
Igneous rock - ✔✔Igneous rocks form when magma (molten rock) cools and
crystallizes, either at volcanoes on the surface of the Earth or while the melted rock is
still inside the crust. All magma develops underground, in the lower crust or upper
mantle, because of the intense heat there.

,Metamorphic rock - ✔✔A type of rock that forms from an existing rock that is changed
by heat, pressure, or chemical reactions.
The Rock Cycle - ✔✔There are three main types of rocks: sedimentary, igneous, and
metamorphic. Each of these rocks are formed by physical changes—such as melting,
cooling, eroding, compacting, or deforming—that are part of the rock cycle.
Plate Tectonics - ✔✔Plate tectonics is a scientific theory that explains how major
landforms are created as a result of Earth's subterranean movements.
Earth's outermost layer, or lithosphere—made up of the crust and upper mantle—is
broken into large rocky plates. These plates lie on top of a partially molten layer of rock
called the asthenosphere. Due to the convection of the asthenosphere and lithosphere,
the plates move relative to each other at different rates, from two to 15 centimeters (one
to six inches) per year. This interaction of tectonic plates is responsible for many
different geological formations such as the Himalaya mountain range in Asia, the East
African Rift, and the San Andreas Fault in California, United States.
- Alfred Wegener published two articles about a concept called continental drift. He
suggested that 200 million years ago, a supercontinent he called Pangaea began to break
into pieces, its parts moving away from one another. The continents we see today are
fragments of that supercontinent.
Latitude and Longitude - ✔✔Longitude: measured in 15 degree increments towards
west or east.
Latitude: the distance north or south from the equator. It is also the measurement of the
distance from the equator, which indicates how much solar radiation a area receives.

, Prime Meridian
Tropic of Cancer
Tropic of Capricorn
Antarctic Circle
Arctic Circle
Equator - ✔✔The tilt of the Earth on its axis is 23.5
Longitude (Meridians):
Prime Meridian: longitudinal reference point of 0
Latitude (Parallels):
Tropic of Cancer (Summer Solstice): 23.5 degrees north. The sun is directly overhead at
noon at June 21, which marks the beginning of summer in the Northern Hemisphere.
Tropic of Capricorn (Winter Solistice): 23.5 degrees south. The sun is directly overhead
at noon at Dec 21, which marks the beginning of winter in the Northern Hemisphere.
Antarctic Circle (Summer Solstice): 66.5 degrees south. Marks the start when the Sun is
not visible above the horizons. June 21, the same day the Sun is directly over Tropic of
Cancer.
