CSET Mult Subj Subtest 2 (math and science)

Question 1

Volume of Cylinder

Answer 1

π*r²*h

Question 2

Surface Area of a Cube

Answer 2

6*a²

Question 3

Surface Area of a Rectangular Prism

Answer 3

2ab + 2bc + 2ac

Question 4

Surface Area of a Sphere

Answer 4

4*π*r²

Question 5

Surface Area of a Cylinder

Answer 5

2*π*r²+2*π*r*h

Question 6

Pythagorean Theorem (Right Triangle)

Answer 6

a²+b²=c² where c=the longest side of the triangle

Question 7

Area of a Triangle

Answer 7

(1/2)*base*height

Question 8

Average. Add all values together and divide by total number of values in group.

Answer 8

Mean

Question 9

The middle value. Rewrite the list in order and find the middle value (contained within the list). If there are an even number of values, average the 2 middle numbers.

Answer 9

Median

Question 10

The number that is repeated more than any other in a list of values.

Answer 10

Mode

Question 11

The difference between the largest number in a list of values and the smallest number in a list of values. (ie 6-1=5)

Answer 11

Range

Question 12

The process of releasing atomic energy by bombarding a dense element with neutrons and splitting its nucleus.

Answer 12

Fission

Question 13

Structure responsible for regulating basic functions such as respiration and heartbeat.

Answer 13

Brainstem

Question 14

Before a dividing cell enters mitosis, it undergoes a period of growth.

Answer 14

Interphase (Stages of Mitosis)

Question 15

The chromatin condenses into discrete chromosomes. The nuclear envelope breaks down and spindles form at opposite “poles” of the cell.

Answer 15

Prophase (Stages of Mitosis)

Question 16

Duplicated chromosomes line up along the equatorial plate of the spindle.

Answer 16

Metaphase (Stages of Mitosis)

Question 17

The paired chromosomes (sister chromatids) separate and begin moving to opposite ends (poles) of the cell. Spindle fibers not connected to chromatids lengthen and elongate the cell.

Answer 17

Anaphase (Stages of Mitosis)

Question 18

The chromosomes are cordoned off into distinct new nuclei in the emerging daughter cells.

Answer 18

Telophase (Stages of Mitosis)

Question 19

Scientific Taxonomy Classification Categories

Answer 19

Kingdom, Phylum, Class, Order, Family, Genus, and Species. A good aid for remembering these categories is the mnemonic device: Keep Plates Clean Or Family Gets Sick.

Question 20

The thick layer surrounding Earth’s outer core.

Answer 20

Mantle

Question 21

Stages of Mitosis

Answer 21

0. Interphase (pre-mitosis)
1. Prophase
2. Metaphase
3. Anaphase
4. Telophase
