Matching
Directions: Identify the vocab word that best fits with each definition. Write the letter
that goes with the vocab word in the blank next to the definition it matches in the
answer column. There are more vocab words listed than there are definitions so there
will be one vocab word that you will not use. (1 point each)

Short Answer
Directions: Read each question and then answer the question with complete sentences.
A short answer is normally about 3 complete sentences.
1. Two friends, Fetty and Wap, are discussing a lab they did in science class
yesterday. Fetty says, I observed that the water was able to flow through the
gravel faster than the sand. Therefore, we can say that the gravel is more
permeable than the sand. But Wap disagrees and says, Yes the water flowed
through faster but that means that the gravel is more porous than the sand.
