2 Evaluating Sources
Suggested answer:
This passage explains how to evaluate different
sources of information. First, we should consider
if the source is a primary source, which means the
writer gives first-hand information, or if the source
is a secondary source, which means the writer gives
second-hand information. Another point to consider
is whether the source is presenting facts or opinions.
Finally, we should look at when the source was
written, as older sources may have outdated
information.

3 Machines
Suggested answers:

machines: levers, pulleys, and wheels and axles.
Simple machines like these are useful because
they can multiply the force applied to them and
they can change the direction of that force.
Levers are used to lift and push. Pulleys are used
to lift heavy objects. Wheels and axles are used to
turn large wheels.

Sample response:

of the Earth has been calculated. It first tells
about an older technique that calculated age
based on the idea that lower layers of rock are
older than higher layers. Another, more accurate,
technique mentioned in the passage is measuring
the radioactive particles from rocks. By using this
second method, scientists have concluded that
the Earth is about 4.5 billion years old.

This passage discusses the silver works of three
different First Nations. It first explains about the
Navajo people. They learned how to silver work from
Mexicans and later added turquoise to their silver

jewelry. Next, it describes how the Zuni people
learned silver working from the Navajo. Eventually,
turquoise became more important than silver in
