ATI TEAS PRACTICE TEST SCIENCE – 2025 UPDATED
QUESTIONS & DETAILED ANSWERS
1. The first four steps on the scientific method are as follows:
I. Identify the problem.
II. Ask questions.
III. Develop a hypothesis.
Iv. Collect data and experiment on that data.
Which of the following is the fifth step in the scientific method?
A. Observe the data.
B. Analyze the results.
C. Measure the data.
D. Develop a conclusion.: B. Analyze the results.
,- There are six steps in the scientific process. The results of step four must be analyzed before reaching t
final step. "Develop a conclusion."
2. Which of the following is FALSE regarding the use of qualitative
and quanti- tative data in scientific research?
A. Quantitative data is collected through numerical measurements.
B. Quantitative data is more accurate than qualitative data.
C. Qualitative data is focused on perspectives and behavior.
D. Qualitative data is collected through observation and interviews.: B.
Quantitative data is more accurate than qualitative data.
The two types of measurement important in science are qualitative (When a numerical result is used) and
qualitative (when descriptions or qualities are reported).
- Qualitative data is collected through observation and interviews, and focuses on the informant's behavior
and perspectives.
3. THE NEXT QUESTION REFERS TO THE FOLLOWING GRAPHICS:
The chart above shows the average snowfall in inches for a two on
Michigan's Upper Peninsula, during the months November through
April. Which of the following can be concluded based on the
information that is provided in the chart?
,A. April is not a good month to go skiing in the Upper Peninsula.
B. Snowfall blocks the sunshine reduces the number of sunny days.
C. The fewest sunny days occur in the months with the heaviest nowfall. s
D. There is no connection between the amount of he number
snowfall and t sunny days.: C. of
The chart shows two specific changes: snowfall levels from November to April and sunny days from
November to April.
4. Which of the following statements correctly describes the
function of the corresponding physiologic structure?
A. The trachea connects the throat and the stomach, encouraging
food to follow this path through contractions.
B. The esophagus is the cylindrical portion of the respiratory tract that
joins the larynx with the lungs.
C. the diaphragm is a muscle that controls the height of the
thoracic cavity, decreasing the height on contraction, and
increasing the height on relaxation causing expiration.
D. The epiglottis covers the trachea during swallowing, preventing
food from entering the airway.: D. The epiglottis covers the trachea during swelling, thus
preventing food from entering the airway.
-The trachea (windpipe) is cylindrical portion of the reparatory tract that joins the larynx with the lungs.
-The esophagus connects the throat and the stomach. When a person swallows, the esophagus
contracts to force the food down into the stomach. The esophagus secretes mucus for lubrication.
-The diaphragm is a muscle that controls the height of the thoracic cavity, increasing the height
on contraction (inspiration), and decreasing the height on relaxation (expiration).
5. Which of the following is an example of the location and function
of cartilage int he body?
A. The dense connective tissue that comprises the better part of the
structural skeleton.
B. The supportive pads that provide cushion at joints, such as
, between the vertebrae of the spinal cord.
