The Science section of the ATI TEAS 7 (Test of Essential Academic Skills) exam assesses students' understanding and proficiency in various scientific
... [Show More] concepts and principles. Here's an overview of the subjects typically covered in this section, including biology, chemistry, and physics:
Biology:
Cell Biology: Structure and function of cells, cell organelles, cellular processes such as metabolism, respiration, and cell division.
Genetics: Mendelian genetics, inheritance patterns, DNA structure and replication, gene expression, and genetic disorders.
Anatomy and Physiology: Basic anatomy and physiology of human body systems such as the cardiovascular, respiratory, digestive, nervous, and reproductive systems.
Ecology: Ecosystems, populations, communities, energy flow, nutrient cycles, ecological relationships (e.g., symbiosis, competition).
Evolution: Darwinian theory of evolution, natural selection, adaptation, evidence for evolution.
Chemistry:
Atomic Structure and Periodic Table: Structure of atoms, elements, isotopes, periodic table organization, and trends.
Chemical Bonding: Ionic, covalent, and metallic bonding, Lewis structures, molecular geometry.
Chemical Reactions: Types of chemical reactions (e.g., synthesis, decomposition, combustion), balancing chemical equations, reaction stoichiometry.
States of Matter: Properties and behavior of solids, liquids, and gases, phase changes, gas laws.
Acids and Bases: Definitions of acids and bases, pH scale, properties of acids and bases, acid-base reactions.
Physics:
Mechanics: Newton's laws of motion, forces, friction, work, energy, power, and simple machines.
Fluids: Properties of fluids, pressure, buoyancy, fluid flow, Bernoulli's principle.
Thermodynamics: Laws of thermodynamics, heat transfer mechanisms (conduction, convection, radiation), heat engines, and refrigeration.
Waves and Optics: Properties of waves, wave behavior (reflection, refraction, diffraction), electromagnetic spectrum, optics (light, lenses, mirrors).
Electricity and Magnetism: Electric charge, electric fields, electric current, circuits, magnetism, electromagnetic induction.
Overall, the Science section of the ATI TEAS 7 exam covers a broad range of scientific topics, including biology, chemistry, and physics, to assess students' knowledge and understanding of fundamental scientific principles and concepts. [Show Less]
