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

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

The table lists some physical properties of two objects... Based on their properties, which of the objects is most likely a metal?

Object 2, because metals conduct thermal energy and electricity

Object 1, because it is a solid that is less dense than water

Object 2, because all metals float in water

Object 1, because it can be used to provide insulation for thermal energy

A beaker with 115 mL of solution has a temperature of 21°C. The solution contains 5 g of salt and 115 mL of water. Students added two ice cubes to the solution and stirred the solution with a stirring rod. Which properties of the solution changed as the ice cubes melted?

The temperature, mass, and volume of the solution

The color and physical state of the solution

The volume, temperature, and mass of the salt in the solution

The physical state and temperature of the solution

The picture shows a cumulonimbus cloud forming over an ocean. Which statement best explains how the sun and the ocean interact to form a cumulonimbus cloud?

Heat from the sun warms the ocean, causing water to evaporate. The water vapor then condenses to form a cumulonimbus cloud.

Heat from the sun causes clouds in the area to gather over the ocean and form one large cumulonimbus cloud.

Light from the sun shines on the ocean, causing water vapor to condense. The water then evaporates to form a cumulonimbus cloud.

Light from the sun causes ocean water to reflect water vapor into the air and gather over the ocean into a cumulonimbus cloud.

Dylan measured out 10 mL of four clear liquids and added one drop of a different-colored dye to each liquid. One of the liquids was water. Bryan then carefully poured each liquid into a graduated cylinder and let the mixture settle for 30 minutes. Bryan then observed that the liquids had separated into layers, as shown in the diagram.

Add water to the graduated cylinder, let the mixture settle, and then identify the layer that increases in volume as water

Stir the liquids, let them settle, and then identify the bottom layer as water

Drop a piece of ice into the graduated cylinder, let the ice settle, and then identify the layer just above the ice as water

Carefully pour each layer into separate plastic containers, place the containers in a freezer, and then identify the liquid that takes the longest to freeze as water

A student places objects in a bucket of water to determine if they will float. Which set of items is less dense than water?

Toothpick, cork, and vegetable oil

Plastic paper clip, penny, and cork

Toothpick, metal spoon, and plastic paper clip

Metal spoon, vegetable oil, and penny

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

Does it conduct thermal energy?

How quickly does it dissolve in water?

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 completely dissolves in the solution.

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.

A student poured equal amounts of water and cooking oil into a jar. The student placed a lid on the jar and shook the mixture for five seconds and then let the jar sit for ten minutes. The results of this investigation are shown. Which conclusion best compares a property of cooking oil and water shown in this investigation?

Cooking oil is less dense than water.

Water is less dense than cooking oil.

Water dissolves in cooking oil.

Cooking oil dissolves in water.
