lecture: An object has different properties. A property of an object can tell you how it looks, feels, tastes, or smells. Properties can also tell you how an object will behave when something happens to it. Different objects can have properties in common. You can use these properties to put objects into groups. Grouping objects by their properties is called classification.

question: Which property do these three objects have in common?

choice: (A) yellow (B) slippery (C) scratchy

context: Select the best answer.

answer: B


Rationale:

generated_skill: The missing skill in this case is the ability to identify common properties among objects and use that information to determine the answer.


solution: Look at each object. For each object, decide if it has that property. A slippery object is hard to hold onto or stand on. All three objects are slippery. Yellow is a color. This color is yellow. The wet paint and the jello are not yellow. A scratchy object is rough and itchy against your skin. The wet paint and the jello are not scratchy. The property that all three objects have in common is slippery.

skill: Compare properties of objects

lecture: Magnets can pull or push on each other without touching. When magnets attract, they pull together. When magnets repel, they push apart. These pulls and pushes between magnets are called magnetic forces. The stronger the magnetic force between two magnets, the more strongly the magnets attract or repel each other. You can change the strength of a magnetic force between two magnets by changing the distance between them. The magnetic force is weaker when the magnets are farther apart.

question: Think about the magnetic force between the magnets in each pair. Which of the following statements is true?

choice: (A) The strength of the magnetic force is the same in both pairs. (B) The magnetic force is weaker in Pair 1. (C) The magnetic force is weaker in Pair 2.

context: The images below show two pairs of magnets. The magnets in different pairs do not affect each other. All the magnets shown are made of the same material.

answer: B


Rationale:

generated_skill: The missing skill for this query is understanding the relationship between the distance between magnets and the strength of the magnetic force.


solution: Distance affects the strength of the magnetic force. When magnets are farther apart, the magnetic force between them is weaker. The magnets in Pair 1 are farther apart than the magnets in Pair 2. So, the magnetic force is weaker in Pair 1 than in Pair 2.

skill: Compare strengths of magnetic forces

lecture: A solution is made up of two or more substances that are completely mixed. In a solution, solute particles are mixed into a solvent. The solute cannot be separated from the solvent by a filter. For example, if you stir a spoonful of salt into a cup of water, the salt will mix into the water to make a saltwater solution. In this case, the salt is the solute. The water is the solvent. The concentration of a solute in a solution is a measure of the ratio of solute to solvent. Concentration can be described in terms of particles of solute per volume of solvent. concentration = particles of solute / volume of solvent

question: Which solution has a higher concentration of blue particles?

choice: (A) Solution A (B) neither; their concentrations are the same (C) Solution B

context: The diagram below is a model of two solutions. Each blue ball represents one particle of solute.

answer: A


Rationale:

generated_skill: The missing skill in this case is accurately observing the number of blue particles in each solution as shown in the diagram.


solution: In Solution A and Solution B, the blue particles represent the solute. To figure out which solution has a higher concentration of blue particles, look at both the number of blue particles and the volume of the solvent in each container. Use the concentration formula to find the number of blue particles per milliliter. Solution A has more blue particles per milliliter. So, Solution A has a higher concentration of blue particles.

skill: Compare concentrations of solutions

lecture: An object has different properties. A property of an object can tell you how it looks, feels, tastes, or smells. Properties can also tell you how an object will behave when something happens to it.

question: Which property matches this object?

choice: (A) soft (B) colorful

context: Select the better answer.

answer: B


Rationale:

generated_skill: The model did not accurately observe the properties of the object, specifically whether it changes shape when pressed or squeezed.


solution: Look at the object. Think about each property. A colorful object has one or more bright colors. The marbles are colorful. A soft object changes shape when pressed or squeezed. The marbles are not soft.

lecture: The temperature of a substance depends on the average kinetic energy of the particles in the substance. The higher the average kinetic energy of the particles, the higher the temperature of the substance. The kinetic energy of a particle is determined by its mass and speed. For a pure substance, the greater the mass of each particle in the substance and the higher the average speed of the particles, the higher their average kinetic energy.

question: Compare the average kinetic energies of the particles in each sample. Which sample has the higher temperature?

choice: (A) neither; the samples have the same temperature (B) sample B (C) sample A

context: The diagrams below show two pure samples of gas in identical closed, rigid containers. Each colored ball represents one gas particle. Both samples have the same number of particles.

answer: B


Rationale:

generated_skill: The model did not accurately observe the mass and speed of the particles in each sample.


solution: Each particle in sample B has more mass than each particle in sample A. The particles in sample B also have a higher average speed than the particles in sample A. So, the particles in sample B have a higher average kinetic energy than the particles in sample A. Because the particles in sample B have the higher average kinetic energy, sample B must have the higher temperature.

skill: Identify how particle motion affects temperature and pressure

These pulls and pushes between magnets are called magnetic forces. The stronger the magnetic force between two magnets, the more strongly the magnets attract or repel each other. You can change the strength of a magnetic force between two magnets by changing the distance between them. The magnetic force is stronger when the magnets are closer together.

question: Think about the magnetic force between the magnets in each pair. Which of the following statements is true?

choice: (A) The strength of the magnetic force is the same in both pairs. (B) The magnetic force is stronger in Pair 2. (C) The magnetic force is stronger in Pair 1.

context: The images below show two pairs of magnets. The magnets in different pairs do not affect each other. All the magnets shown are made of the same material.

answer: B


Rationale:

generated_skill: The missing skill in this query is the ability to analyze the comparative strength of magnetic forces between magnets based on their distance from each other.


solution: Distance affects the strength of the magnetic force. When magnets are closer together, the magnetic force between them is stronger. The magnets in Pair 2 are closer together than the magnets in Pair 1. So, the magnetic force is stronger in Pair 2 than in Pair 1.

skill: Compare strengths of magnetic forces

lecture: Figures of speech are words or phrases that use language in a nonliteral or unusual way. They can make writing more expressive. Anaphora is the repetition of the same word or words at the beginning of several phrases or clauses. We are united. We are powerful. We are winners. Antithesis involves contrasting opposing ideas within a parallel grammatical structure. I want to help, not to hurt. Apostrophe is a direct address to an absent person or a nonhuman entity. Oh, little bird, what makes you sing so beautifully? Assonance is the repetition of a vowel sound in a series of nearby words. Try to light the fire. Chiasmus is an expression in which the second half parallels the first but reverses the order of words. Never let a fool kiss you or a kiss fool you. Understatement involves deliberately representing something as less serious or important than it really is. As you know, it can get a little cold in the Antarctic.

question: Which figure of speech is used in this text? In every cry of every Man, In every Infant's cry of fear, In every voice: in every ban, The mind-forg'd manacles I hear. —William Blake, "London"

choice: (A) anaphora (B) assonance

context: N/A

answer: A


Rationale:

generated_skill: The missing skill based on the wrong rationale steps is the ability to accurately identify and define figures of speech. The person incorrectly identified assonance as the figure of speech used in the text instead of anaphora. This suggests a lack of understanding and knowledge of the different figures of speech and their definitions, which is essential in correctly analyzing and identifying them in a given text.


solution: The text uses anaphora, the repetition of the same word or words at the beginning of several phrases or clauses. Blake repeats the words in every at the beginning of each phrase.

skill: Classify the figure of speech: anaphora, antithesis, apostrophe, assonance, chiasmus, understatement

lecture: A grid is made up of lines of squares. They are organized in rows and columns. A grid can help you use a map. A row is a line of squares that goes from side to side. Rows are marked with letters. A column is a line of squares that goes up and down. Columns are marked with numbers.

question: Which i in column 3?

choice: (A) the library (B) the park (C) the restaurant (D) the police department

context: N/A

answer: B


Rationale:

generated_skill: The missing skill in this case appears to be the ability to correctly interpret and navigate a grid system, specifically in relation to columns. The user incorrectly identified the location of the police department in column 3, when in fact it is located in another column. To identify the correct location in column 3, the user should understand that columns are marked with numbers, and should accurately count the columns to find the correct answer.


solution: The park is in column 3.

skill: Use a letter-number grid

lecture: Guide words appear on each page of a dictionary. They tell you the first word and last word on the page. The other words on the page come between the guide words in alphabetical order. To put words in alphabetical order, put them in order by their first letters. If the first letters are the same, look at the second letters. If the second letters are the same, look at the third letters, and so on. If one word is shorter, and there are no more letters to compare, then the shorter word comes first in alphabetical order. For example, be comes before bed.

question: Which word would you find on a dictionary page with the following guide words? wave - which

choice: (A) wear (B) women

context: N/A

answer: A


Rationale:

generated_skill: The missing skill in this query is understanding alphabetical order and how to properly sort words.


solution: Put the words in alphabetical order. Since wear is between the guide words wave - which, it would be found on that page.
