1931 ODE Assessment Item, Grade 10: Physical Sciences, Law of Conservation of Mass Resource Type: Assessment Resource Discipline: Science Ohio Standards Alignment: Grades 9–10 Professional Commentary: This question asks students to determine the necessary mass of W to combine with 225 grams of X and end up with 375 grams of the product of the reaction (Y+Z). Students need to recall that the law of conservation of mass states that mass is neither gained nor lost. This is a multiple choice test item used in a past Ohio Graduation Test assessment (for more information, see IMS: Assessments).... 1932 ODE Assessment Item, Grade 10: Life Sciences, Classification Resource Type: Assessment Resource Discipline: Science Ohio Standards Alignment: Grades 9–10 Professional Commentary: This question asks students to identify the level in the given classification scheme at which the two butterflies are the same. Students need to recall how to read a classification scheme diagram. This is a multiple choice test item used in a past Ohio Graduation Test assessment (for more information, see IMS: Assessments).... 1933 ODE Assessment Item, Grade 10: Life Sciences, Pasteurization Resource Type: Assessment Resource Discipline: Science Ohio Standards Alignment: Grades 9–10 Professional Commentary: This multiple choice question asks students to recall the name of the process of heating substances to kill micro-organisms within it that may cause disease. Students need to recall that the name of this process is pasteurization. This is a multiple choice test item used in a past Ohio Graduation Test assessment (for more information, see IMS: Assessments).... 1934 ODE Assessment Item, Grade 10: Scientific Ways of Knowing, Ethics Resource Type: Assessment Resource Discipline: Science Ohio Standards Alignment: Grades 9–10 Professional Commentary: This question asks students to describe a potential benefit and a potential hazard of treating a disease if the development cycle for approving new drug treatments is accelerated. Students need to consider the ethical guidelines with which scientists operate in the development of new drugs to fight diseases, then identify one positive and one negative possible outcome for the scenario described. This is a short answer test item used in a past Ohio Graduation Test assessment (for more information, see IMS: Assessments).... 1935 ODE Assessment Item, Grade 10: Earth and Space Sciences, Volcanic Eruption Resource Type: Assessment Resource Discipline: Science Ohio Standards Alignment: Grades 9–10 Professional Commentary: This multiple choice question asks students to identify the event that could be predicted by a change in the slope of Earth’s surface. Students need to recall that before a volcanic eruption, magma rising to the surface of Earth can cause a slight bulge or dome to form where the magma will extrude during the eruption. This is a multiple choice test item used in a past Ohio Graduation Test assessment (for more information, see IMS: Assessments).... 1936 ODE Assessment Item, Grade 10: Science and Technology, Pesticides Resource Type: Assessment Resource Discipline: Science Ohio Standards Alignment: Grades 9–10 Professional Commentary: This question asks students to identify the statement that correctly describes how concerns over environmental effects of DDT affected the field of agricultural science. Students need to recognize that the popularity of DDT was due to its effectiveness and the decline in use of DDT was due to the discovery that DDT was harmful to humans and the environment. This is a multiple choice test item used in a past Ohio Graduation Test assessment (for more information, see IMS: Assessments).... 1937 ODE Assessment Item, Grade 10: Physical Sciences, Conservation of Energy Resource Type: Assessment Resource Discipline: Science Ohio Standards Alignment: Grades 9–10 Professional Commentary: This question asks students to identify the correct energy transformation that occurs when carbon compounds in wood are burned. Students need to recall that the carbon compounds in wood are held together by chemical bonds.... 1938 ODE Assessment Item, Grade 10: Scientific Ways of Knowing, Data Resource Type: Assessment Resource Discipline: Science Ohio Standards Alignment: Grades 9–10 Professional Commentary: This question asks students to identify the statement that correctly describes how the data shown on the map helped city officials in stopping the cholera epidemic. Students need to analyze the data shown on the map and determine how these data could be used to stop the epidemic. This is a multiple choice test item used in a past Ohio Graduation Test assessment (for more information, see IMS: Assessments).... 1939 ODE Assessment Item, Grade 10: Earth and Space Sciences, Groundwater Resource Type: Assessment Resource Discipline: Science Ohio Standards Alignment: Grades 9–10 Professional Commentary: This question asks students to identify the scientifically correct statement that explains why scientists use a formula to estimate groundwater flow rate instead of taking direct measurements. The student must recall that it is difficult to get to groundwater since it is below layers of soil and rock. This is a multiple choice test item used in a past Ohio Graduation Test assessment (for more information, see IMS: Assessments).... 1940 ODE Assessment Item, Grade 10: Earth and Space Sciences, Human Impact Resource Type: Assessment Resource Discipline: Science Ohio Standards Alignment: Grades 9–10 Professional Commentary: This question asks students to identify two negative environmental consequences of rainforest destruction and explain the negative impact of each.
