About this resource
This quiz focuses on changes in matter, a fundamental topic in elementary physical science appropriate for 5th grade students. The questions comprehensively assess students' understanding of states of matter and their properties, physical versus chemical changes, conservation of matter, and solutions and mixtures. Students need to grasp that matter exists in different states (solid, liquid, gas) with distinct properties, understand that physical changes alter appearance while preserving the substance's identity, and recognize that chemical changes create entirely new substances with different properties. The quiz requires students to apply the law of conservation of matter, identifying that mass remains constant during both physical and chemical changes, and to distinguish between mixtures that can be physically separated and solutions where substances dissolve completely. Students must also understand particle behavior during chemical reactions and differentiate between solvents and solutes in solution formation. Created by Marissa Cornelison, a Science teacher in US who teaches grade 5. This assessment serves multiple instructional purposes, functioning effectively as a comprehensive unit review, formative assessment tool, or homework assignment to reinforce key concepts about matter and its transformations. Teachers can use this quiz to gauge student understanding before moving to more complex chemistry concepts or as a warm-up activity to activate prior knowledge about states of matter. The variety of question formats, including multiple choice and multiple select items, allows students to demonstrate their understanding through different response types while providing teachers with detailed feedback about student misconceptions. This quiz aligns with Next Generation Science Standards 5-PS1-1 (developing models to describe matter composition), 5-PS1-2 (measuring and graphing matter properties), 5-PS1-3 (making observations about mixtures), and 5-PS1-4 (conducting investigations to determine material interactions), supporting the progression toward middle school chemistry concepts.
