Integrated Science B Final Exam ACTUAL
QUESTIONS AND CORRECT ANSWERS
Which factor helps improve the validity of scientific writing? - using sources
that are peer reviewed
fully disclosing all facts—even if they do not support the hypothesis
showing evidence of scientific thinking in the writing
Which option gives an accurate reason why ethical guidelines are needed for the
way scientific information is communicated? - Poor research could potentially
impact the health and welfare of the public.
Government funding of research studies has the potential to create bias.
Businesses can perform and fund research studies, which potentially creates
bias.
Using general theories or principles to make predictions about more specific
situations is known as __________. - deductive reasoning
Consider the scenario.
Lloyd is studying the effect of hamster food on the health of hamsters. He
suspects that the food may be unhealthy. He feeds hamsters various amounts of
food over a six-week period. He weighs the hamsters using a digital lab balance
at the beginning of the experiment and then again at the end of the experiment.
Then, he calculates and graphs the change in weight.
, Lloyd's data shows that the more food the hamsters ate, the greater the change
in their weight.
When writing the conclusion of his report, Lloyd states that the hamster food is
not a healthy choice for lab hamsters since it causes them to gain weight
unnecessarily.
What component of scientific argumentation is missing from Lloyd's work? -
logical reasoning
Read the scenario.
A car starts 10 m north of a reference point. It moves at a constant velocity over
the next 5 s, reaching a position of 10 m south of the reference point.
What is the car's average velocity? - 4 m/s south

Which statement is true about the motion of A and B? - A and B move at
constant velocities, but A is faster than B the entire time. At 10 s, the objects
pass each other with different velocities.
