Practice Test 5
•20 QuestionsMaya is doing a 1-week research project for 7th grade science. Her initial question is: “What adaptations help desert animals conserve water?” She uses 4 sources (a library book on desert ecosystems, a National Park Service article, a museum website, and a peer-reviewed journal summary). She takes notes comparing adaptations (kidney function, nocturnal behavior, waxy skin, burrowing) and writes a paragraph answering the question with evidence.
After finishing, she writes these possible follow-up questions:
-
“How does the kangaroo rat’s kidney structure reduce water loss compared with other rodents?”
-
“Are deserts the coolest biomes?”
-
“How do rising temperatures change the times of day desert animals are active?”
-
“Why are animals interesting?”
Which set best represents related, focused, researchable new questions that emerge from Maya’s research?
