Earth Science SOL Review Game

Which of the following is a measure of how much space an object occupies?

• Mass

• Volume

• Weight

• Density

A student found the rock shown here and weighed it to determine its mass. What steps should the student take to find its density?

• Determine its volume by how much water it displaces, then divide mass by volume.

• Determine its volume by multiplying length x width x height, then divide mass by volume.

• Crush the rock to a powder and measure its volume in a graduated cylinder, then divide mass by volume.

• Determine its volume using the formula for the volume of a sphere (V = 4/3πr³), then divide mass by volume.

A student set up an experiment to test the effects of soil compaction on plant growth. What else must the student do over time to ensure a valid experiment?

• Water any of the plants that seem to be growing more slowly than the others

• Water the plants in compacted soil more than those in uncompacted soil

• Water all of the containers the same amount and at the same time

• Water any container in which the soil feels dry
