CSET Science: Multiple Subjects Vocab

Subjects : cset, science
Instructions:
  • Answer 50 questions in 15 minutes.
  • If you are not ready to take this test, you can study here.
  • Match each statement with the correct term.
  • Don't refresh. All questions and answers are randomly picked and ordered every time you load a test.

This is a study tool. The 3 wrong answers for each question are randomly chosen from answers to other questions. So, you might find at times the answers obvious, but you will see it re-enforces your understanding as you take the test each time.
1. The alternate rising and falling of the surface of the ocean caused by the gravitational attraction of the Sun and Moon occurring unequally on different parts of the Earth

18. The killing of microorganisms in milk by heating it to 145 degrees F. for thirty minutes






19. Helping melting of ice in a closed container






20. The more mass or volume an object has - the greater the force of attraction; as the objects increase their distance apart - the attraction gets less or decreases.






21. The apprearance and physical expression of genese in an organism - physical charachteristics of an organism






22. Oceans cover this amount of the earth






23. 'Reflectors' use a primary and secondary mirror






24. When a photon hits a silicon solar cell - an electron - hole pair is freed. Which side of the solar cell will the hole flow to?
