Draw conclusions from an experiment.  \no Extreme – are combinations of factual and inference questions. What makes them so difficult is that they often require you to pick conflicting information from different experiments or graphs and then analyze them. One or two in Data and Experiment passages. Two or three in Fighting Scientist passage. Don't waste valuable time on these types of questions.  \n􀁸 General Passage Types:  \no Data Representation (reading charts & graphs)  \no Experimental Summaries (reading charts & graphs and understanding the Experimental process) .  \no Fighting Scientist (reading passage)  \no Hybrid (a blend of the above 3 passages)  \nSuggested Prior Knowledge  \npH scale  \n􀁸 Acids have a LOW pH  \n􀁸 Bases have a HIGH pH  \n􀁸 Pure water is right in the middle (pH = 7)  \nCharges  \n􀁸 Can be + or-  \n􀁸 Opposite charges attract (move toward each other)  \n􀁸 Same charges repel (move away from each other)  \nDensity  \n􀁸 Density is how “packed” a substance is Ex) Wood is less dense than lead.  \n􀁸 Something with a low density will float in something with a high density.  \nEx) Wood floats in water, so wood must be less dense than water.  \nLead sinks in water, so lead must be more dense than water.  \nEnergy  \n􀁸 Potential Energy = energy from your position  \nThe higher you are, the more potential energy you have.  \n􀁸 Kinetic Energy = energy from motion  \nThe faster you're moving, the more kinetic energy you have.  \n􀁸 In general, when one goes up, the other goes down.  \nEx) You are sitting at the top of a slide. You have high potential energy, but no kinetic energy. You slide down the slide. Your potential energy goes down, but your kinetic energy goes up.  \nGenes  \n􀁸 Your 23rd chromosome determines your sex. Women have XX; men have XY.  \n􀁸 A gene with a capital letter dominates (wins) over a gene with a lowercase letter.  \nEx) The gene for brown eyes is B. The gene for blue eyes is b. If you have BB or Bb, you will have brown eyes. However, you can have blue eyes if you have bb.  \nSteps of Mitosis  \n1. Prophase: Chromosomes condense  \n2. Metaphase: Chromosomes line up in middle of cell  \n3. Anaphase: Chromosomes separate and pull apart  \n4. Telophase: Cells start to divide.  \nCytokinesis = The cell divided into 2 daughter cells  \n★ ACT Science Strategies for Different Passages ★  \nData Passages  \n1. Skip the reading and go straight to the first question.  \n2. Refer back to the charts/graphs/passages only as needed.  \n3. If a question asks about a relationship between two variables, draw it out with arrows. Make sure you check the entire column for a consistent relationship. Sometimes the first nine pieces of data will indicate a trend upward but the tenth will ruin that trend. Be careful!  \n4. Often questions require you to “interpolate” or “extrapolate” missing data. This simply means finding values not listed on the chart that are either between two given values or outside of a given value. Look for words like “infer” or “deduce.” These are hints that the data will not be presented directly in the charts. Make sure to mark up the charts where the data would be.  \nExperiment Passages  \n1. Read questions first. Label the questions for Experiment 1, Experiment 2 (or 3, etc. ) or both.  \n2. Divide and conquer. Split the experiment like a double passage in the reading section. Read  \nExperiment 1, answer Experiment ","cbCaiqS49jR7G3ol","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiqS49jR7G3ol","pdf",597390,14,"English","# Overview\n## Question and Passage Structure\n## Question Types\n## Passage Types\n# Suggested Prior Knowledge\n## pH Scale\n## Charges, Density, Energy\n## Genes and Cell Division\n# ACT Science Strategies for Different Passages\n## Data Passages\n## Experiment Passages\n## Fighting Scientists Passages","[{\"question\":\"How is the ACT Science section organized in terms of time and number of passages?\",\"answer\":\"It consists of 6–7 passages, with 35 minutes to answer 40 questions.
