SC.8.N.1.1

Even though all matter is made from the same building blocks, it can still come in all sizes, shapes, textures, colors, and forms. A sheet of paper is very different from the ink in a pen. What is responsible for that difference? Before we can answer that question, we first need to be able to tell one type or form of matter from another. Measuring matter is the first step in this process.

 Which answer below best describes the main idea of the statement above?

• A. Ink and paper are not identical materials.

• B. All matter is made from different building blocks

• C. Differences in size, shape, and texture make it impossible to tell one type of matter from another.

• D. In order to distinguish one type of matter from another, it is necessary to make measurements.

   Courtney investigated the stretch in a rubber band as she suspended a set of standardized weights from it. The table shows her results. Based on the data, if the rubber band does not break, what is the stretch in the rubber band when she adds a 10 N weight?

• A. about 7.5 cm

• B. about 10 cm

• C. about 12 cm

• D. about 20 cm

  Angela performs an experiment that examined the relationship between the size of the fish and the amount of oxygen the fish uses. After analyzing her data, Angela creates the graph: Which statement would be the most accurate about the graph?

• A. The size and amount of oxygen used stays the same

• B. The smaller the fish, the more oxygen the fish uses.

• C. The larger the fish, the more oxygen the fish uses.

• D. You cannot make a relationship between fish size and oxygen.
