Multiple Choice

Cooper placed a stick of butter on the table before dinner. Afterwards, he forgot to return the butter to the refrigerator and it melted covering the plate.

Cooper wondered if the weight had changed.

What would be the correct answer?

• Yes, the weight changed as expanding means it becomes larger

• Yes, the weight changed as warmer objects weigh more

• No, the weight did not change as the amount of butter stayed the same

• No, the weight did not change as the solid has volume, not mass

Multiple Choice

A student adds water and sugar to a jar and seals the jar so that nothing can get in or out.

The sugar could not be seen after the mixture was stirred.

Which statement BEST explains what happened to the sugar?

• The sugar was destroyed by the liquids.

Multiple Choice

A student adds water and sugar to a jar and seals the jar so that nothing can get in or out.

The student then weighs the jar containing the water and sugar. After some sugar dissolves, the student weighs the jar and its contents again.

What will happen to the weight of the jar containing the water and sugar after some of the sugar dissolves?

• The weight will stay the same

• The weight will increase

• The weight will decrease

• The weight will depend on how much sugar dissolves

Multiple Choice

A student uses a knife to cut a stick of butter on a dish into smaller pieces. The student weighs the dish, knife, wrapper, and butter before and after cutting the butter into pieces.

Will the dish, knife, wrapper, and butter weigh more, less, or the same when the butter is in small pieces and why?

• They will weigh more because there are more pieces of butter.

• They will weigh less because the butter is in smaller pieces.

• They will weigh less because some of the butter disappears when it is cut.

• They will weigh the same because the amount of butter has not changed.

Multiple Select

Multiple Choice

Cooper found two substances that he found in the closet.

He recorded his observations before and after he mixed them together.

Did Cooper make a new substance?

• Yes, a new substance was made as the mixture caused the temperature to change

• Yes, a new substance was made as the mixture color changed

• No, a new substance was not made as the mixture stayed the same length

• No, a new substance was not made as the shape of the container stayed the same

Multiple Choice

Cooper makes a snack mix before sitting down and watching all the Avengers movies. He mixes one cup of treats, one cup of oreos, one cup of brownies and one cup of frozen ice cream. He wonders if he has made a new substance as the ice cream was frozen and melted all over the other ingredients.

• Yes, he made a new substance as the ice cream will melt and mix with all the ingredients.

• Yes, he made a new substance as he put many ingredients together and ended up with a snack mix.

• No, he did not make a new substance as the individual ingredients did not change.

• No, he did not make a new substance as food can not change into a new substance.
