ACT Preparation / Unit 19 ACT 1801 short lesson, about 20 seconds
The Three Science Formats
Captions available
The idea
The science section uses three formats: data representation, built on tables and graphs; research summaries, describing experiments; and conflicting viewpoints. Calculators are not allowed.
In practice
A passage of plant-growth tables is data representation; one describing three trials is a research summary.
Where people slip
Some questions need introductory background knowledge; the passage decides the rest.
