The diagram shows the metal posts that are usually found on a battery. The battery can be connected to a bell and switch to produce sound. Which statement best explains why there are two metal posts on the battery?

The battery needs to form a complete closed circuit that starts with one metal post and ends with the other metal post.

The battery needs only one metal post to connect to the bell but the other metal post is there in case the first post fails to work.

One metal post makes a complete circuit with the switch and the other post is not needed.

One post makes the bell start to ring and the other post makes the bell ring louder.

Most cars have lights, power locks, and radios that use electricity. Electric circuits power this equipment. Each circuit has a fuse that completes it. The picture shows one type of fuse a car may have. Which of these describes one thing that could happen if the wire in a fuse burns out?

The car's light would burn brighter.

The car's power windows will move faster.

The car's turn signal will blink faster.

Which of these changes to the electric circuit will cause the lightbulb to light up?

Turn one battery around so that positive end connects to the other battery's negative end.

Straighten the wire so the current flows faster.

Add a switch and more wire so electric current flows faster.

Make the wire length the same on both sides.

In 1859, Henry Bursill published a book on shadows. The picture shows one of these hand shadows. Which property of light makes it possible to produce hand shadows?

Light travels in straight lines and can be blocked.

Light can be separated into different colors.

The picture shows a child standing in a swimming pool. Why does the lower part of the child appear so much different in size from the upper part?

The light is refracted when it travels through water and then air.

The light is reflected when is travels through water and then air.

The light is reduced when it travels through water and then air.

The light is shadowed when it travels through water and then air.

When light travels through air into a prism, it bends and separates into many colors. In which other situation does light bend?

When light moves through air into water.

When light passes through outer space.

Students used a spring scale to pull a 50 gram block across the surface of a desk. Then they pulled the same block across the surfaces of carpet, sandpaper, and glass. Which question is this investigation most likely designed to answer?

How do different surfaces affect the amount of force needed to move a block?

How do blocks of different sizes react to a pulling force?

How do blocks affect spring scales?

How does the mass of the block change when pulled across a desk?

Which best demonstrates the reflection of light?

Looking at an image formed on a shiny silver spoon.

Looking through the glass of a large window.

Looking at a lightbulb that is glowing.

Looking at a star on a clear night.

Students design an experiment to test the force of a spring using a spring launcher and four spheres with the same diameter but different masses. What other piece of equipment would be most useful for this experiment?

A meterstick to measure the height each sphere travels when launched.

Graduated cylinder to measure volume of each sphere.

A beaker to collect the sphere after launching.

A stopwatch to measure how long it takes to load the spring for launching.

The picture shows a pulley system that can be used to lift a box. Which of these should a person do to lift the box upwards?

Pull the end of the roper downward.

Tie the end of the rope to the box.

Tie the end of the rope to the ceiling hook.

Allow the end of the rope to move upward.

Four students stand facing a box. The diagram shows an overhead view of the box. The numbered circles represent student positions. What do the students need to do to slide the box to the northeast?

Students 3 and 4 push. Students 1 and 2 pull.

Students 1 and 2 push. Students 3 and 4 pull.

Students 1 and 4 push. Students 2 and 3 pull.

Students 2 and 3 push. Students 1 and 4 pull.
