Unit 3- States of Matter and Water Cycle

If a wet shirt is left out in the sun, how will it dry?

• Heat from the Sun will cause the water to evaporate.

• Heat from the Sun will cause the water to condensate.

• Cold from the atmosphere will cause the water to sublimate.

• Energy from the wind will cause the water to precipitate.

A beaker of water is left outside all day. What happens to the water level in the beaker?

• The water level decreased because the water changed from a gas to a liquid.

• The water level increased because the water changed from solid to liquid.

• The water level decreased because the water changed from liquid to gas.

• The water level increased because the water changed from a liquid to a gas.

How would you support the idea that ice cubes change the temperature of water?

• Take the temperature of the water and the ice cubes separately.

• Take the temperature of the water before adding the ice cubes.

• Take the temperature of the water before and after adding the ice cubes.

• Take the temperature of the water after adding the ice cubes.

How does water get on the grass if it did not rain overnight?

• Water vapor from the air condensed when the air was cooled, forming liquid water.

• Ice from the air melted into liquid water as it touched the grass, forming drops.

• Ice from a nearby pond evaporated and formed water droplets.

• Water drops were blown from a nearby pond.
