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?

• A

• B

• C

Multiple Choice

Students conduct an investigation with breakfast cereal. The first four steps of the students’ investigation are in the table shown. The students are trying to determine the presence of which substance in the cereal?

• Sugar

• Iron

• Salt

• Wheat

Multiple Choice

A table of different properties of four samples of matter is shown. Which conclusion can be made about the samples based on the table?

• Sample 1 is made of plastic.

• Sample 2 is made of metal.

• Sample 3 is attracted to magnets.

• Sample 4 is less dense than water.

Multiple Choice

A student is classifying objects. Answering which question will provide the best evidence that an object is a metal?

• What is its mass?

• What is its physical state?

• Does it conduct thermal energy?

• How quickly does it dissolve in water?

Multiple Choice

Students observe some objects on a lab tray. The students will classify the objects based on physical properties common to all of the objects. Based on their common properties, how should these objects be classified?

• Insulate thermal energy, Bendable, Attract to magnets

• Conduct electrical energy, Bendable, Soluble in water

• Soluble in water, Attract to magnets, Conduct thermal energy

• Conduct thermal energy, Conduct electrical energy, Not soluble in water

Multiple Choice

A student compares the physical properties of the four objects shown. Which of these physical properties do all four objects have in common?

• They all have the same physical state and conduct electricity.

• They all conduct electricity and attract the same metal objects.

• They all attract the same metal objects and are not soluble in water.

• They all are not soluble in water and have the same physical state.

Multiple Choice

Students investigate the physical properties of some substances. They draw a table to show how the substances can be grouped. The students need to complete the table with column headings. Which column headings should the students use for their table?

• Good Insulators of Thermal Energy, Is Attracted by Magnets, Same Physical State

• Good Conductors of Electrical Energy, Less Dense than Water, Soluble in Water

• Soluble in Water, Same Physical State, Less Dense than Water

• Is Attracted by Magnets, Good Conductors of Electrical Energy, Good Insulators of Thermal Energy

Multiple Choice

A group of students is given four small cubes of the same size and instructed to place them in a beaker of water. One cube floats to the surface of the water. Two of the cubes float in the middle of the beaker under the surface of the water. The last cube sinks to the bottom of the beaker. Which conclusion is best supported by what the students observed?

• Two of the four cubes are soluble in water.

• All four cubes have different masses.

• Each cube is made of a different type of solid material.

• One of the cubes is more dense than the other three.

Multiple Choice

A student wants to classify four different objects based on physical properties. The student uses the questions shown in the table to test each object. Which statement correctly identifies two of the materials based on the classification of properties in the table?

• Material 1 is a rubber ball. Material 2 is a piece of cardboard.

• Material 2 is an aluminum washer. Material 3 is a copper wire.

• Material 3 is a piece of cardboard. Material 4 is an aluminum washer.

• Material 1 is a copper wire. Material 4 is a rubber ball.

Multiple Choice

The table lists the ingredients of five different mixtures. In which mixtures do all the ingredients maintain their physical state?

• Mixtures 3 and 4 only

• Mixtures 1, 3, and 4

• Mixtures 1, 2, and 5

• Mixtures 2 and 5 only

​All matter has mass and volume. Mass is the amount of matter in an object. The space that matter takes up in is called volume. Density compares the amount of matter in an object to the amount of space it takes up. When you create a mixture you are adding substance together.

MASS is measured in (grams, milligrams, kilograms).

Volume is measured in (liters, milliliters, kiloliters)

Multiple Choice

A student mixes a sample of stones with a sample of table salt. The mass and volume of the samples were determined before mixing the samples. The mass and volume of each sample is shown. Which statement is true about the mixture?

• The mass of the mixture is 85 grams.

• The mass of the mixture is 60 milliliters.

• The volume of the mixture is 60 grams.

• The volume of the mixture is 85 milliliters.

Multiple Choice

Based on the student’s observations in the table, how many of the substances did NOT dissolve in the water?

• F 1 substance

• G 2 substances

• H 3 substances

• J 4 substances

Multiple Choice

A student pours 14 grams of sugar into a jar filled with 500 milliliters of water. The student thoroughly stirs the sugar and water to make a solution. Which change most likely occurs to the sugar when it is added to the water?

• The sugar breaks down to form a new substance in the solution.

• The sugar changes water into a new substance in the solution.

• The sugar floats on the surface of the water in the solution.

• The sugar completely dissolves in the solution.

Multiple Choice

Which change occurs when lemon juice is mixed with water?
