7th GRADE INTEGRATED SCIENCE TEST REVIEW

7th Grade Integrated Science

Structure of Matter
1. Is it possible to see atoms? How can we know anything about atoms?
2. What is the relationship between atoms and molecules?
3. Diagram the particles in each of the states of matter.

Solid

Liquid

Gas

4. What are the two limitations to using models to represent atoms?

5. Why has our knowledge of the structure of the atom changed over time? How long has it taken to
develop our current model of the atom? Is our model exactly like what the atom is really like?
If you measured its mass to be 180 grams what would its density
be?

6. What is the volume of this rectangle?

6 cm
3 cm

Would it float or sink when placed in water (d = 1.0

g/cm3)?

20 cm

7. In the ocean in a bottle pictured, what is the relative density of each substance?

Paint thinner
Rubbing alcohol
8. The volume of a particular rock is 30 cm3. If its mass is 120 grams, what is its density?
9. What would happen to the density of you increased the mass of the rock in question 8? What would
happen to the density if you increased the volume?

10. What evidence is there that particles of matter are constantly moving?
11. What happens to the movement of particles of matter when they are heated? What happens to the
volume of particles when they are heated?
12. What happens to the sidewalks on a hot summer day?
13. If a balloon drops to the ground when released, what does that tell you about its density? What if it
rises?

Structure of Earth
14. You measure the mass of 100 ml of water to be 100 g. What is the density of water?
15. You measure the mass of 100 ml of air to 1 g. What is density of air?
16. A bottle containing sand, silt, clay and water is shaken up. Draw what the bottle will look like after the
shaking stops. Which particles will be suspended in the water for a few minutes after?

17. Where would you expect to find sand deposits on a curve in a river? Why?
18. Draw a model of the earth with each of the following layers: atmosphere, crust, mantle, outer core,
inner core. Indicate on your picture the relative densities of each layer.

Structure of Living Things

19. Label the following structures on the picture to the
right. Also describe the main function of each.

Cell wall

Cell membrane

Nucleus

Chloroplast

Cytoplasm

20. If you observed a human cell and a cell from a plant, what two differences would you see?
21. What is the process called that moves oxygen (or any molecule) in or out of
the cell? Which way will the oxygen move in this example?

50 oxygen molecules

100 oxygen
molecules outside
22. What part of a cell produces energy from food? What part makes food?
23. Put the levels of organization in order from most simple to most complex.
24. What level of organization is represented by each of the following?
Heart
Muscle
Cactus
25. Every cell needs oxygen and food to survive. We also need to get rid of waste. What three organ
systems are most responsible for distributing food and oxygen to every cell in our body and then removing
waste products?

26. What tissues and cells make up a heart? What organ system is a heart a part of?

Reproduction and Heredity

27. Indicate whether the following are inherited traits or acquired traits.

Piano playing ability
Ability to read
Height
Right handedness
28. Fill in the table comparing sexual and asexual reproduction.
Sexual
Number of parents required

30. How do these three traits help the organism survive?
a. Body structure
b. Teeth structure
c. Coloration
31. In what environment would white coloration be helpful to survival of an organism? In what
environment would it not be helpful?

32. What is mimicry?

33. What is hybridization?
34. How do dairy farmers use breeding to increase milk production?

Classification
35. Divide the following into two groups based on similarities. Then divide them into three groups based
on different criteria..
Paper, rabbit, horse, plant, fried chicken, rock, water

36. What is the difference between living, nonliving, and once living?

38. Fill out the table showing the characteristics each kingdom has.
Kingdom What characteristics do all members of each kingdom have in
common?
Protista
Fungi
Plantae
Animalia

Give two examples

of each kingdom

39. Aristotle divided all living things into only two kingdoms. Why do we have more than two kingdoms
now?
