Multiple Choice

John filled a bottle half way with water, placed a lid on it, then put it in the freezer. How does the weight of the water and bottle compare before and after it is in the freezer?

• The water and bottle weigh the same as they did when they went in the freezer.
• The water and bottle weigh more when they come out of the freezer because ice weighs more.
• The water and bottle weigh less when they come out of the freezer because water evaporates when it gets cold.

Multiple Choice

A student wanted to make a salad.  The student weighed each vegetable before cutting and placing it in the salad.  Which best describes the weight of the salad compared to the total weight of the vegetables?

• The total weight of the vegetables will be the same as the weight of the salad because the vegetables did not lose or gain weight.
• The total weight of the vegetables will be more than the weight of the salad, because cutting the vegetables increased their weight.
• The total weight of the vegetables will be less than the weight of the salad, because the vegetables weigh less when they are cut.
• The weight of the salad will be more than the total weight of the vegetables, because the vegetables were chemically changed.
