Master the California Subject Examinations for Teachers (CSET) Multiple Subjects Subtest II – Science with this comprehensive study guide featuring 500+ expert-verified exam questions and 100% correct answers covering the full spectrum of scientific concepts assessed on the California teacher certification examination. This exam-focused resource provides in-depth coverage of matter and its properties, states of matter, physical and chemical changes, atoms, elements, compounds, the periodic table, acids and bases, pH, mixtures and solutions, motion, velocity, acceleration, Newton's Laws of Motion, gravity, magnetism, electricity, electric circuits, static electricity, energy transformations, kinetic and potential energy, thermal energy, heat transfer, waves, sound, light, reflection, refraction, renewable and nonrenewable energy, simple machines, scientific investigation, biology, cell structure, mitosis, meiosis, genetics, photosynthesis, ecosystems, human anatomy, Earth science, geology, astronomy, meteorology, climate, weather, erosion, the water cycle, seasons, and the solar system. Every question is paired with detailed explanations that reinforce scientific reasoning, conceptual understanding, and the analytical skills required to excel on the official CSET Multiple Subjects Subtest II examination. This study guide is carefully organized to build mastery across every major science domain tested on the examination, progressing from foundational chemistry and physics to life science, Earth science, environmental science, and scientific inquiry. Candidates will strengthen their understanding of atomic structure, molecular interactions, density, conductivity, chemical reactions, energy conservation, mechanical advantage, electromagnetic radiation, optics, temperature conversion, experimental design, variables and hypothesis testing, cellular respiration, DNA and RNA, heredity, organ systems, ecology, biodiversity, Earth's layers, plate tectonics, fossils, renewable resources, climate systems, greenhouse effect, El Niño and La Niña, astronomy, planetary motion, and scientific measurement. The realistic question-and-answer format makes this resource ideal for comprehensive review, classroom reinforcement, self-paced learning, and last-minute revision while preparing for both multiple-choice and constructed-response components of the examination. The content aligns with the California Commission on Teacher Credentialing (CTC) Subject Matter Requirements for CSET Multiple Subjects Subtest II and reflects the competencies outlined in the California Science Framework, the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS), and the California Common Core State Standards. The scientific concepts presented are supported by authoritative academic references, including Campbell Biology by Urry, Cain, Wasserman, Minorsky, and Orr (Pearson), Chemistry: The Central Science by Brown, LeMay, Bursten, Murphy, Woodward, and Stoltzfus (Pearson), Physics for Scientists and Engineers by Serway and Jewett (Cengage), Earth: An Introduction to Physical Geology by Tarbuck, Lutgens, and Tasa (Pearson), Biology by Raven, Johnson, Mason, Losos, and Singer (McGraw-Hill), Conceptual Physics by Paul G. Hewitt (Pearson), and the National Research Council's A Framework for K–12 Science Education (National Academies Press). These widely recognized academic resources provide the theoretical and pedagogical foundation for the physical science, life science, Earth science, environmental science, and scientific inquiry concepts reinforced throughout this comprehensive examination guide. Relevant Students: California Multiple Subject teacher credential candidates, CSET Multiple Subjects Subtest II examinees, elementary education majors, pre-service teachers, teacher preparation program students, science education students, STEM education majors, graduate education students, alternative certification candidates, substitute teachers, instructional aides preparing for teacher licensure, university students studying general science, and professionals seeking California Multiple Subject teaching credentials.

CSET Multiple Subjects Subtest
2 (Science) 2026 Exam
Questions with 100% Correct
Answers | Latest Update



Matter - ANSWER ✔✔-Anything that has mass and occupies space


-Everything you see and touch is composed of matter

-Three states of matter are solids, liquids, and gases


Solids - ANSWER ✔✔-Characterized by their ability to retain their

shape

-Relatively incompressible

,-Melt when heated and vaporize only slightly

-All substances become solid if cooled sufficiently




Examples: rocks, crystals, wood, feather, ice


Liquids - ANSWER ✔✔-Take on the shape of their containers, yet

cannot be compressed to any significant extent

-The volume of a liquid is constant unless evaporation is occurring

-Liquids when chilled sufficiently, while heat causes liquids to vaporize

-The liquid state is intermediate between the solid and gaseous states

with regard to molecular motion and attractive forces between molecules




Examples: water, oil, milk, honey


Gases - ANSWER ✔✔-Expand to fill any available space


-A gas is a compressible fluid, with its volume determined by the

pressure and temperature of the environment

-A compressed gas pushes out equally in all directions

-Boyle's Law: If the pressure increases, the volume decreases; the

reverse is true as well

,-Charles's Law: As temperature increases (at a fixed pressure), so does

volume




Examples: air, helium, steam


Sublimination - ANSWER ✔✔Makes it possible for some elements

and compounds to transition from a solid to gas phase without becoming

a liquid




Example: a block of dry ice (CO2), which will turn into a gas at room

temperature


Deposition - ANSWER ✔✔Some gases can transition directly to a

solid




Example: the formation of frost


Mass - ANSWER ✔✔-The amount of matter in a chemical substance


-In everyday usage, mass is commonly confused with weight

, Weight - ANSWER ✔✔-In physics and engineering, weight means

the strength of the gravitational pull on the object (how heavy it is,

measured in newtons)

-In everyday situations, the weight of an object is proportional to its

mass, which usually makes it acceptable to use the same word for both

concepts


Density - ANSWER ✔✔-For a homogeneous object, density is

determined by dividing the mass by the volume (D = M/V)

-The mass is normally measured with an appropriate scale or balance

-The volume may be measured directly (from the geometry of the object)

or by the displacement of a fluid




Example: If steel and wood have equal dimensions, the steel would have

a greater mass as it is more dense


Hardness - ANSWER ✔✔-Refers to various properties of matter in

the solid phase that give it a high resistance to its shape changing when

force is applied

-Hard matter is contrasted with soft matter
