Review unit 2 and 3 STAAR

Weight

Weight is the mass of an object multiplied by gravity.

Mass is different: mass is the amount of matter in an object.

Mass is the same on the Moon or on The Earth.

Multiple Choice

Friction is a force that acts between two touching objects opposing each other

• true

• false

Multiple Choice

Multiple Choice

Force is a push and pull upon and object.

• True

• False

Multiple Choice

Students drop the same heavy ball onto identical blocks of soft clay from different heights. For each height they measure the depth of the dent the ball makes in the clay. Why is depth of the dent different in each trial? (5.6D)

• The size of the ball changes.

Multiple Choice

(3.5C) Students plan to investigate the different states of matter. They will measure the volume of water in three containers after five days. They make this table to organize the data.

Which graph represents the volume of water most likely left in the containers after five days?

Multiple Choice

(3.5C)

A student placed a cup of ice water on his desk and went to lunch. When he returned to

his desk after lunch, he noticed that the cup had drops of water on the outside.

Which of the following best explains why there were water drops on the outside of the

cup after lunch?

• The lights in the room caused the water to evaporate and move to the outside of

  the cup

• The cup started to sweat as the temperature of the ice in the cup increased

• The water vapor in the room condensed into liquid water on the outside of the

  glass

• The water in the glass froze and melted on the outside of the glass

Multiple Choice

For an investigation a teacher dropped a bolt into a container of maple syrup and asked students to remove it without touching the syrup. The students first tried to use a strong magnet to remove the bolt, but it remained on the bottom of the container. They finally poured the syrup into another container to get the bolt out.

Which of these best describes some of the bolt’s physical properties?

• The bolt is magnetic and has the same density as the maple syrup.

• The bolt is nonmagnetic and more dense than the maple syrup.

• The bolt is nonmagnetic and less dense than the maple syrup.

• The bolt is magnetic and less dense than the maple syrup.

Multiple Choice

Choose the item that is less dense than water (floats).

• Beach Ball
• Brick
• Magnet
• Metal Key
