A 5th grade student placed a sugar cube in a beaker of water. The student observed how the sugar cube sank to the bottom of the beaker. The student then stirred the water until the sugar cube was no longer visible. What physical properties of the sugar cube did the student observe? Select TWO correct answers.

• The sugar cube is less dense than water because it sank to the bottom of the beaker.

• The sugar cube is more dense than water because it sank to the bottom of the beaker.

• The sugar cube is a gas because it was no longer visible when the water was stirred.

• The sugar cube is not soluble in water because it dissolved when the water was stirred.

• The sugar cube is soluble in water because it dissolved when the water was stirred.

Charles is creating solutions with liquids in an experiment. He mixes water and lemon juice in a cup to create a liquid solution. Which method can Charles use to prove that matter was conserved in the solution of water and lemon juice?

• Heating the combined solution until all the liquid evaporates

• Subtracting the masses of each liquid before they were combined and adding the mass of the combined liquids

• Comparing the masses of each liquid before they were combined and the mass of the combined solution

• Closely observing the particles in each liquid to find evidence of conservation

A student designed a ramp to test how the mass of a marble affects the distance it travels. The student released three marbles with different masses from the top of the ramp. The results are below. What conclusions can be made based on this experiment? Select TWO correct answers.

• The marbles with more mass traveled a longer distance.

• The marbles with less mass traveled a longer distance.

• The marbles with more mass traveled a shorter distance.

• The marbles with less mass traveled a shorter distance.

• There was no relationship between the marbles' mass and distance traveled.

When a student blows air into a balloon, the balloon expands. Which statement best explains why this occurs?

• The air fills the balloon because air is made up of tiny particles that take up space inside the balloon.

• The air makes the balloon expand because the balloon material grows when it touches air.

• The air enters the balloon and makes it heavier, which causes the balloon to expand downwards.

• The air pushes out the walls of the balloon because air is made up of large, visible particles.
