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) causes (animal get nutrient)
- get X => take in X
4. More examples from Peter (from our AKBC paper)
Animals take in air by breathing.They need oxygen, which is in the air. Oxygen allows the animal to make and use energy. ...
- Rules to be extracted
- animal breathes => animal takes in air
- => animal need oxygen
- => air contains oxygen
- => (animal breathes oxygen) enables (animal make energy)
- => (animal breathes oxygen) enables (animal use energy)
