Rules Examples
1. A marble is dropped in a glass of water. Which force pulls the marble to the bottom of the glass? (A) gravity (B) electricity ...
- Premise
- A marble is dropped.
- A marble is dropped in a glass of water.
- A force pulls the marble to the bottom.
- A force pulls the marble to the bottom of the glass.
- A force pulls the marble.
- The marble is pulled to the bottom of the glass.
- Inferences
- A marble falls. [X is dropped => X falls.]
- Gravity causes the marble to fall. [X falls => Gravity causes X to fall.]
- A force pulls the marble down. [to the bottom => down]
- Gravity pulls the marble down. [X is pulled own => gravity pulls X down.]
2. If the population of snakes increases, the population of frogs will most likely
(A) decrease (B) increase (C) remain the same
- Evidence from Barrons
- 5.1.1.1.1.1 Animals need air, water, and food to live and survive.
- 5.1.1.1.4.1 Animals cannot make their own food so they must eat to get nutrients.
- 5.1.6.2.1.3 Some animals (predators) eat other animals (prey).
- 5.4.6.4.1 The snake is a predator.
- 5.4.6.11.1 A bird or snake is a predator.
- 5.4.6.12.1 A rabbit, frog, or fish is a prey.
- Additional knowledge needed
- increase in animal population => increase in food eaten
- animal eaten => animal dies
- animal dies => decrease in animal population
3. A turtle eating worms is an example of (A) breathing (B) eliminating waste (C) taking in nutrients (D) reproducing
- Evidence from Barrons
- Animals take in food as a nutrient to give them energy and help them grow.
- Animals cannot make their own food so they must eat to get nutrients.
- Rules to be extracted
- take in food => take in nutrient
- animal eat X => animal gets nutrients //Elaborate: animal eat X => (animal eat X) causes (animal get nutrient)
- get X => take in X
