When starting a new problem, always clear your calculator by pressing the on/clear key.  \n2. If you see an E in the display, clear the error before you begin.  \n3. If you see an M in the display, clear the memory and the calculator before you begin.  \n4. If the number in the display is not one of the answer choices, check your work.  \n5. Remember, your calculator will NOT automatically perform the order of operations.  \n6. Calculators might display an incorrect answer if you press the keys too quickly. When working with calculators, use careful and deliberate keystrokes, and always remember to check your answer to make sure that it is reasonable.  \n7. The negative sign may appear either to the left or to the right of the number.  \n8. Always check your answer to make sure that you have completed all of the necessary steps.  \nPeriodic Table of the Elements  \n(based on 126C = 12.0000)  \nRepresentative  \nGroup Elements  \n| 3\u003Cbr>Li\u003Cbr>Lithium\u003Cbr>6.941 |  | Transition Metals |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| 11\u003Cbr>Na\u003Cbr>Sodium\u003Cbr>22.990\u003Cbr>19\u003Cbr>K\u003Cbr>Potassium\u003Cbr>39.098\u003Cbr>37\u003Cbr>Rb\u003Cbr>Rubidium\u003Cbr>85.468\u003Cbr>55\u003Cbr>Cs\u003Cbr>Cesium\u003Cbr>132.905\u003Cbr>87\u003Cbr>Fr\u003Cbr>Francium\u003Cbr>223 | 12\u003Cbr>Mg\u003Cbr>Magnesium\u003Cbr>24.305\u003Cbr>20\u003Cbr>Ca\u003Cbr>Calcium\u003Cbr>40.078\u003Cbr>38\u003Cbr>Sr\u003Cbr>Strontium\u003Cbr>87.62\u003Cbr>56\u003Cbr>Ba\u003Cbr>Barium\u003Cbr>137.327\u003Cbr>88\u003Cbr>Ra\u003Cbr>Radium\u003Cbr>226.025 | 3\u003Cbr>3B\u003Cbr>57 La\u003Cbr>Lanthanum 138.905\u003Cbr>89 Ac\u003Cbr>Actinium 227.028 |  | 4\u003Cbr>4B\u003Cbr>104 Rf\u003Cbr>Rutherfordium\u003Cbr>(261) | 5 5B\u003Cbr>105 Db\u003Cbr>Dubnium (262) |  | 6\u003Cbr>6B\u003Cbr>106\u003Cbr>Sg\u003Cbr>Seaborgium\u003Cbr>(263) |  | 7 8 9 |  |  |\n|  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  | 7B\u003Cbr>107 Bh\u003Cbr>Bohrium (264) | 108 Hs\u003Cbr>Hassium (265) | ~~8B~~\u003Cbr>109 Mt\u003Cbr>Meitnerium\u003Cbr>(268) |\n\n1  \n1A  \nAtomic number Symbol  \n18  \n8A  \n2  \n2A  \nName  \nAverage Atomic Mass  \n13  \n3A  \n14  \n4A  \n15  \n5A  \n16  \n6A  \n17  \n7A  \n2  \nHe  \nHelium 4.003  \n\n| 4\u003Cbr>Be\u003Cbr>Beryllium\u003Cbr>9.012 |  |  |  |  |  |  | 1 | 0 11 12 1B 2B |  |  | 5\u003Cbr>B\u003Cbr>Boron\u003Cbr>10.81 | 6\u003Cbr>C\u003Cbr>Carbon\u003Cbr>12.011 | 7\u003Cbr>N\u003Cbr>Nitrogen\u003Cbr>14.007 | 8\u003Cbr>O\u003Cbr>Oxygen\u003Cbr>15.999 | 9\u003Cbr>F\u003Cbr>Fluorine\u003Cbr>18.998 | 10\u003Cbr>Ne\u003Cbr>Neon\u003Cbr>20.180 |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |\n|  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  | 13\u003Cbr>Al\u003Cbr>Aluminum\u003Cbr>26.982 | 14\u003Cbr>Si\u003Cbr>Silicon\u003Cbr>28.086 | 15\u003Cbr>P\u003Cbr>Phosphorus\u003Cbr>30.974 | 16\u003Cbr>S\u003Cbr>Sulfur\u003Cbr>32.06 | 17\u003Cbr>Cl\u003Cbr>Chlorine\u003Cbr>35.453 | 18\u003Cbr>Ar\u003Cbr>Argon\u003Cbr>39.948 |\n|  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |\n| 21 | 22 | 23 | 24 | 25 | 26 | 27 | 28 |  | 29 | 30 | 31 | 32 | 33 | 34 | 35 | 36 |\n| Sc | Ti | V | Cr | Mn | Fe | Co | Ni |  | Cu | Zn | Ga | Ge | As | Se | Br | Kr |\n| Scandium | Titanium | Vanadium | Chromium | Manganese | Iron | Cobalt | Nickel |  | Copper | Zinc | Gallium | Germanium | Arsenic | Selenium | Bromine | Krypton |\n| 44.956 | 47.88 | 50.942 | 51.996 | 54.938 | 55.847 | 58.933","cbCaiiu8sVcSKrpj","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiiu8sVcSKrpj","pdf",424497,16,"English","# Sample Test Materials Overview\n# Helpful Hints for Using a Four-Function Calculator\n# Periodic Table of the Elements","[{\"question\":\"What is the purpose of the Grade 8 Science sample test materials?\",\"answer\":\"The materials orient teachers and students to the types of paper-based Grade 8 Science questions and the response formats students may see on a test.\"},{\"question\":\"Do the sample items reflect the length or difficulty of the actual test?\",\"answer\":\"No. The sample items and answers are not intended to demonstrate the length of the actual test, and student responses should not be used as an indicator of performance on the real test.\"},{\"question\":\"How should students use a four-function calculator when answering questions?\",\"answer\":\"Clear the calculator at the start of a new problem, clear errors when an E appears, clear memory when an M appears, check that the display value matches answer choices, and be careful with key presses while verifying the reasonableness of results.\"}]","Grade 8 Science Sample Test Materials - Helpful Hints for Using a Four-Function Calculator | PDF",1790332734]
