A group of scientists has been observing a population of meerkats in Botswana. The population size did not change between 2000 and 2016.


Theo thinks that the population size stayed the same because no new meerkats were born and none died. They were all the same meerkats.

Fabiola thinks that it is not possible that all the same meerkats were in the population for the whole time.

Which person do you most agree with and why?

Based on what you learned about carbon movement in ecosystems, which claim best answers the Chapter 3 Question?
What happened to the carbon that used to be in the air (abiotic matter) of the biodome?

Claim 1: The carbon that used to be in the air (abiotic matter) is no longer in the biodome, so total carbon decreased.
Claim 2: The carbon that used to be in the air (abiotic matter) is now in another part of the ecosystem, so total carbon stayed the same.
Briefly explain your claim choice.

Jamila’s class took a field trip to a geology museum. The tour guide was passing around some samples from the rock collection, and Jamila observed that two of the rock samples were different types of rock. How could energy have played a role in the different rock types forming?


A. Energy changes rock in different ways, depending on the starting rock type. Energy changes igneous rock into liquid rock and changes sedimentary rock into small pieces of rock.

B. Energy caused one rock type to form, but not the other. Rock that forms because of energy is a different type of rock than rock that forms without energy.


C. Energy from different sources leads to different types of rock. Energy inside Earth melts rock into liquid rock, but energy from the sun causes rock to weather into small pieces of rock.


D. Energy changes rock on different continents in different ways. Each continent on Earth has different rock that might form liquid rock or small rock pieces when exposed to energy.

Geologists have evidence of an igneous rock formation under Earth’s outer layer. Is it possible that material from this rock formation could ever form sedimentary rock on Earth’s surface?
A. No, sedimentary rock can only form out of material from other sedimentary rock. There is no way that sedimentary rock can form from material in igneous rock.
B. No, sedimentary rock forms at Earth’s surface because energy from the sun causes rock to weather, but igneous rock under Earth’s outer layer is not exposed to energy from the sun.
C. Yes, energy from Earth’s interior can cause igneous rock to break into small rock pieces that can form sedimentary rock.
D. Yes, if igneous rock is moved to Earth’s surface and exposed to energy from the sun, it could weather into small rock pieces that could form sedimentary rock.
