I agree students are used to working with HR diagram showing temperature.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with PCMS on #1, TEKS does not have them counting compounds.

# data[].attributes.body
agree with CMS and KLMS

#16 Can we take this question out(very similar to #15) or reword to contain comparisons between stars, galaxies and nebulae in each answer choice- only one has the right combination of correct info

# data[].attributes.body
#15 Love the question but the beautiful picture is going to look like a mess when copied

# data[].attributes.body
#14 agree with KLMS

#13 50% of the moon is always illuminated. So the question should be written as "the portion of the  moon visible in the sky becomes greater between ..."

# data[].attributes.body
#11 Moon shape C does not exist, needs to be changed first or third quarter?

# data[].attributes.body
#9Agree with CMS, shade one half of the earth?

#8- to use this graph, it needs numbers. Is it a graph of 90-100 degree, 0 -100 degrees?

#6 Could we use a middle school type lab-- elephant toothpaste or something involving chemicals that are middle school appropriate?

# data[].attributes.body
#5 precipitate is giving away the answer.  Maybe change substance to "yellow solid"

# data[].attributes.body
#3 -- agree with CMS, change to molecule

# data[].attributes.body
#2 Agree with CMS, please change to molecule instead of "smallest unit"

# data[].attributes.body
We don't feel like #1 is testing 8.5D. Compounds is not mentioned in the TEK- 6.5C tests element or compound. 8.5D only mentions counting atoms

Can the "1" on the map be moved closer to the shore of Africa?

# data[].attributes.body
Q14 The diagram needs to include temperature

# data[].attributes.body
Q13 Maybe take out "and therefore visible"

# data[].attributes.body
Q9- It should not be shaded, this is a concept the students should know how to do...

# data[].attributes.body
Q8 Maybe change Dallas Texas

# data[].attributes.body
Q3 Say one molecule

# data[].attributes.body
Q1 Instead of the word "involved" it should say "shown in the reaction"

Q2- Instead of smallest unit- say "in one molecule

# data[].attributes.body
Can we retype the map key to be clearer print? Also, it is hard to see the differences in shading on the map. Is there anyway to make it more defined?

# data[].attributes.body
Could we use an HR diagram that shows temperature as well

# data[].attributes.body
Couldn't this be dual-coded for 8.3B as well?

# data[].attributes.body
Could we change the wording to "If Earth was not tilted on its axis, what would be the most likely result?"

# data[].attributes.body
Could we shade half of the Earth in the diagram?

# data[].attributes.body
Could we change the wording to "Students wanted to investigate temperature changes as the Earth revolves around the Sun. The students created a model like the diagram above and measured the temperature changes at each point. Which graph below represents daily high temperatures in Dallas when the Earth is at Point A?" and then it can be dual-coded for 8.2B

# data[].attributes.body
Could we change the wording to "The reactants of a chemical equation have 3 carbon atoms, 6 oxygen atoms, and 4 hydrogen atoms. What needs to occur in the products of the chemical equation to demonstrate the Law of Conservation of Mass?
A. the same number of atoms of each element
B. double the number of atoms of each element
C. more atoms of each element
D. fewer atoms of each element"

OR

Could we change the wording to "Fe2O3 + 3H2SO4 to Fe2(SO4)3 + H20 **couldn't figure out how to do subscripts and arrows in padlet** How does the chemical equation shown above demonstrate the Law of Conservation of Mass?
A. The volume of the reactants and the volume of the products are the same.
B. The masses of Fe2O3, H2SO4, Fe2(SO4)3, and H2O are all the same.
C. The number of atoms of each type of element in the reactants and products are equal.
D. The number of compounds in the reactants and products are equal." and then it can be dual-coded for 8.3B

Why do we keep referring to the precipitate as a solid? Could we keep answer choice A and C the same but change choice B to "A chemical change, because a yellow precipitate formed when the two liquids combined." and change D to "A physical change, because a yellow precipitate formed when the two liquids combined."

# data[].attributes.body
Could we change the question to "How many oxygen atoms are found in one molecule of cobalt phosphate?"

# data[].attributes.body
Could we change "The smallest unit of iron (III)
oxalate contains" to "How many atoms of each element are found in a molecule of iron (III) oxalate?"

Proposed answer choices:
F. 2 iron atoms, 2 carbon atoms, and 4 oxygen atoms
G. 6 iron atoms, 6 carbon atoms, and 12 oxygen atoms
H. 2 iron atoms, 5 carbon atoms, and 7 oxygen atoms
J. 2 iron atoms, 6 carbon atoms, and 12 oxygen atoms

# data[].attributes.body
Change question to "How many different compounds are involved in the entire reaction shown below?" to help students realize you are looking at the entire reaction rather than just the reactants or just the products

# data[].attributes.body
The decimal points will be really confusing to the gen ed kids. Can we use whole numbers?

# data[].attributes.body
Can we make only bold?

# data[].attributes.body
Question Number 1 -  The formula on product side is confusing.

Q2 - The wording "smallest unit" is confusing, can we use vocab? I.e. how many atoms in a molecule of Iron oxalate instead of smallest unit? The questioning is a bit convoluted.
