What energy transfer occurs in a solar panel?

• Heat is transferred to the panel when it is connected to an electrical source.

• Electrical energy is transferred to the panel when it is connected with an electrical source.

• Energy is transferred to the panel when light waves from the sun are absorbed by the panel.

• Mechanical energy is transferred to the panel when waves from the sun push against the panel

  and move it.

A pine tree has cones. A peach tree has flowers. Which of these is the difference between a pine tree and a peach tree?

• A pine tree cannot reproduce without a flower.

• The life cycles are different. A pine tree does not die.

• The seeds are different. One is on a pine cone and the other is in a flower.

• A peach tree will grow taller because it has flowers that need to reach sunlight

Emma is studying the physical properties of a rock. She puts water in a graduated cylinder, and then puts a rock into the graduated cylinder. Which of these properties is Emma measuring? Choose the correct answer

• Mass

• Texture

Kelly launches her toy rocket straight up into the air on a day that is not windy. How will gravity affect the toy rocket?

• Gravity will have no effect on the movement of the toy rocket.

• Gravity will make the toy rocket fly a few inches above the ground.

• Gravity will pull the toy rocket down toward the center of the planet.

• Gravity will push the toy rocket up into space.

Kayla boils a pot of water. What will happen when she sticks a metal spoon that is at room temperature into the boiling water?

• Heat energy from the boiling water will cause the spoon to dissolve.

• Heat energy from the water will flow to the metal spoon, causing the spoon to increase in

  temperature.

• The metal spoon will soak up the boiling water, causing the spoon to increase in temperature.

• Heat energy from the metal spoon will flow into the water, causing the spoon to decrease in

  temperature.
