Tevin tested the properties of an aluminum can. What properties did he most likely find?

• 1. Solid, floats on water, nonmagnetic

• 1. Liquid, magnetic, floats on water

• 1. Magnetic, liquid, sinks in water

• 1. Nonmagnetic, solid, sinks in water

Robert placed some objects into a bucket of water to test their relative density. What was Robert measuring?

• 1. The temperature of the objects

• 1. The mass of the objects

• 1. If the objects sink or float

• 1. If the objects were liquid, solid, or gaseous

Students in a science class placed a cup of water outside in direct sunlight and another cup with the same amount of water inside their classroom away from any windows. They left the cups in their locations for four hours and then checked on them. Which of the following would likely be their observation?

• 1. The water in the cup inside the classroom is warmer than the water in the cup outside.

• 1. The water in the cup outside has more mass than the water in the cup inside.

• 1. The water in the cup outside is warmer than the water in the cup inside the classroom.

• 1. The water in the cup in the classroom is now solid while the water in the cup outside is still liquid.

Sergio places a set of objects on a table to study their physical properties. He has a cup of water; a small, plastic ball; a glass marble; a coin; a cup of vegetable oil; a wooden stick; a paper clip; and a cup of corn syrup. Which property of the objects can Sergio observe just by using his eyes?

• 1. Their mass

• 1. Their physical state

• 1. Their temperature

• 1. Their relative density

You can use the property of magnetism to classify objects such as a copper penny, a paper clip, and an iron nail as magnetic.

• Disagree

• Neither

• Agree

If a large object like a tree trunk floats, it is less dense than water because of its size.

• Disagree

• Neither

• Agree

The amount of matter in an object is called its mass and can be measured with a meterstick.

• Disagree

• Neither

• Agree
