1. Long ago, the planet Venus was believed to be a tropical paradise similar to earth,
yet a bit closer to the Sun. As scientists learned more about Venus, they found it to
be one of the harshest environments in the Solar system, with extreme pressure,
400 degree C temperatures, and corrosive conditions. Which of the following best
explains why Venus is so different from Earth?
A. Venus’s desert landscape causes it to be hotter and drier than Earth.
B. Venus’s thick atmosphere causes an extreme greenhouse effect.
C. Venus’s distance from the Sun causes it to be cooler than Earth.
D. Venus’s lack of a tilt causes it to have no changing seasons.

Electricity
How to mark the text
1. Number each paragraph
2. Draw a horizontal line between each paragraph to divide the
reading into smaller sections
3. Underline and circle with a purpose:
• Circle key terms (vocabulary, names of people, etc)
• Underline the author’s claims and other relevant information
(concerns, claims, definitions, evidence, main ideas, etc)
Sample Question 2
1. Before Neptune was discovered, its position was
predicted because of the way it was changing the
motion of Uranus. This change was occurring because
of the gravitational pull between Uranus and Neptune.
If a gravitational pull exists between Neptune and
Uranus, why is Uranus a planet and NOT a moon of
Neptune?
A. Uranus is orbiting the Sun.
B. Uranus has moons of its own.
C. Uranus is too far from Neptune.
D. Uranus is too large to be a moon.
2. Write down one thing you know about
magnets.

Philosophical Chairs
1. Be sure you understand the central statement or topic before the discussion begins.
Decide which section you will sit in.
2. Listen carefully when others speak and seek to understand their arguments even if you
don’t agree.
3. Wait for the mediator to recognize you before you speak; only one person speaks at a

7. Keep an open mind, and move to the other side or the undecided section if you feel that
someone made a good argument or your opinion is swayed.
8. Support the mediator by maintaining order and helping the discussion to progress.
