FTCE PREK-3 SCIENCE ACTUAL EXAM
PAPER 2026 QUESTIONS WITH
ANSWERS GRADED A+
◍ Photosphere.
Answer: Layer of the sun is visible to the naked eye
◍ Hands on.
Answer: Science classes must include activity based experience for all
children
◍ Radiative zone.
Answer: Innermost layer of nuclear fusion
◍ Dialogue with self.
Answer: When learners think reflectively about a topic. They ask themselves
a number of things about the topic
◍ Dialogue with others.
Answer: When a student is listening to a book being read by another student
or when a teacher is teaching. Partial dialogue takes place because the
dialogue is one sided. When they are listening to one another and when
there is an exchange of ideas back ad forth.
◍ Convective zone.
Answer: Layer of the sun where heat slowly moves from the inner layer to
the surface
◍ Neurons.
Answer: Cells that make up all nervous tissue in the human body
◍ Neutrons.
Answer: Neutral particles in the nucleus of an atom
,◍ Observing.
Answer: When a learner carefully watches or observes someone else doing
an activity or experiment
◍ Doing.
Answer: When a learner actually does something, giving the learner a first
hand experience
◍ Deductive Inquiry.
Answer: Testing general assumptions to specific elements
◍ Inductive Inquiry.
Answer: Scientific method: reasoning in which the premises are viewed as
supplying strong evidence for the truth of the conclusion
◍ Inquiry based learner.
Answer: Provides opportunity for students to experience and acquire thought
processes that enable them to gather information about the world. The most
important element is questioning, higher order thinking is encouraged.
◍ Deductive inquiry.
Answer: Move students from generalized principles to specific instances.
This strategy stresses the process of testing general assumptions, applying
them and exploring the relationship among specific elements. Students are
actively engaged in testing generalizations, gathering information and
applying it to specific examples.
◍ Wavelength.
Answer: The distance from the highest point of one wave to the highest
point on the next wave (distance from crest to crest)
◍ Inductive inquiry.
Answer: Helps students establish facts, determine relevant questions, and
develop ways to pursue these questions and build explanations. Students are
encouraged to develop and support their own hypothesis. Students
experience the thought process that requires them to move from specific
, facts and observations to inferences.
◍ Frequency.
Answer: How many waves pass a given point in a second
◍ Amplitude.
Answer: The height of the wave above the level line
◍ Interactive instructions.
Answer: Discussion and sharing among participants. Students develop skills,
learning from the teacher and their peers. They learn organizational skills.
Instruction types may include brainstorming, debates, discussions and lab
groups.
◍ Scientific method.
Answer: Basic process of scientific investigation. Posing question and ends
with drawing conclusion based on reproducible experimental results.
◍ Posing a question.
Answer: Form a question, the more limited the question the easier it is to set
up an experiment and answer it.
◍ Carbon.
Answer: The element that makes up the backbone of all organic molecules
◍ "Matter and energy".
Answer: Include solar energy, physical and chemical properties, and
machines
◍ The law of biogenesis.
Answer: Life can only come from life, or previously existing life
◍ Growth by assimilation.
Answer: Eating things and making that material part of the organism
◍ Spontaneous generation.
Answer: Mistakenly believed that life can come from non-living chemicals
◍ Forming a hypothesis.
