In a investigation hot water is poured into a plastic clear cup. Another clear plastic cup is placed upside down over the cup of hot water. Which of these is likely to occur during the next three minutes?

• The hot water will become hotter because air and heat are trapped in the two cups.

• The water level will rise in the bottom cup because of evaporation.

• Water droplets will form on the inside of the top cup as the water vapor cools.

• Water from the bottom cup will become as the hot water cools.

Some students used a globe to model the rotation of Earth. They shaded in Texas on the globe, as shown below. They rotated the globe and observed that Texas was in exactly the same place after each rotation. The students could rotate the globe quickly or slowly. If the globe could rotate only at the rate that Earth actually rotates, about how long would each complete rotation take?

• 30 days

• 60 minutes

• 24 hours

• 365 days

The picture below 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 rays that travel through water and then into air are enlarged.

• The light rays that travel through air and then into water are reflected.

• The light rays that travel through water and then into air are refracted.
