Which statement correctly compares the Milky Way to another galaxy in

the Local Group?

• The Milky Way galaxy is larger than galaxy M31.

• The Milky Way galaxy is the same shape as the Pegasus Dwarf galaxy.

A glass of ice water is placed on a table inside a room that is at room

temperature. The ice inside the glass melts. The diagram represents the

changes observed.

Which piece of evidence supports the conservation of matter during the

changes shown in the diagram?

• The combined mass of the glass and its contents is the same before and after

  the ice melts.

• The combined mass of the glass and its contents is less after the ice melts.

• The contents of the glass are wet before and after the ice melts.

• The contents of the glass are colorless before and after the ice melts.

Organisms have different types of behaviors. Some of these behaviors are

natural responses called instincts. Other behaviors are learned through

the use of an organism’s senses through interactions with the

environment.

Which three behaviors are examples of instincts?

• birds returning to a bird feeder for food

• monkeys using tools

• ants living in a colony

• sea turtles swimming

• geese flying in a group

Which of these best describes the positions of the sun, the moon, and

Earth during a solar eclipse?

• The sun, the moon, and Earth are in a straight line, and the moon is between

  the sun and Earth.

• The sun, the moon, and Earth are in a straight line, and the sun is between

  the moon and Earth.

• The sun and Earth are in a straight line. The moon is not in a line but is at an

  angle between Earth and the sun.

• The sun and Earth are in a straight line. The moon is not in a line but is at an

  angle on the side of Earth away from the sun.

A student’s data table is shown. The table lists the distance of four stars

from Earth. The four stars are of similar mass and are in the same life

cycle stage. Each distance in the table is given in light-years. A light-year

contains millions of kilometers.

When the student observes the night sky, which two stars will appear the

brightest?

• 1 and 3

• 2 and 3

• 3 and 4

• 2 and 4

moon phase?

• 1

• 2

• 3

• 4

Five students were talking about how long it takes to get to school. They all lived on the

same street close enough to school that they could not ride the bus. They met at the

end of their street each morning and at the same place outside of school in the

afternoon. The students used their own timers to record how long it took each of them

to get to school and back home during one day.

Which question can best be answered using the data collected from the

investigation?

• Do students with less mass move faster?

• Does having more wheels make you faster?

• Does it take longer to get to school than to get home?

• Which student takes the least time to travel a mile?

to get to school and back home during one day.

What should the students do to produce more precise data regarding the

speeds of the methods used?

• Conduct the study for three more days.

• Take a different route home in the evening.

• Switch the method used to get to school in the afternoon.

• Use a different timer in the afternoon than in the morning.
