Two students conducted an experiment. They placed four equal sized blocks made of different materials on an elevated plastic tray. They watched each of the blocks move down the tray.

What question are they most likely trying to answer?

• 1. How does size affect how fast a block slides down a ramp?

• 2. How does texture affect how fast a block slides down a ramp?

• 2. How does a push affect how fast a block slides down a ramp?

• 2. How does magnetism affect how fast a block slides down a ramp?

A child pushes a bowling ball down the aisle toward the pins. She pushes the ball with different strengths. What can you conclude from this data. Select TWO correct answers

• 1. Pushing the first ball harder transfers more energy to the pins so that it can move farther.

• Pushing the first ball harder transfers less energy to the ball so that it can move farther.

• When the first ball moves faster, it has less energy to transfer to the pins, which causes the pins to roll farther.

• When the first ball moves faster, it has more energy to transfer to the pins, which causes the pins to roll farther.

• When the first ball moves faster, it has more energy to transfer to the pins, which causes the pins to not roll as far.

A student makes a mixture of oil and water. She records the properties of each object before she mixes them together in a bowl. After she makes the mixture, the student makes observations about the mixture and records them in her notebook. What can you conclude from these observations? Select TWO correct answers.

• Oil and water DID NOT form a mixture.

• Oil and water DID NOT form a solution.

• The mass of the oil decreased when it was combined with water.

• Matter was conserved when the oil and water were combined.

• The oil needed to be stirred longer to dissolve in the water.
