Kennedy measured the daily high temperature outside her home for four days. She compared these measurements to the average high temperature for her region using the table. What do Kennedy's measurements show?

• The recent temperatures are lower than the normal average for her region.

• The recent temperatures are higher than the normal average for her region.

• The season is changing because there is a large difference between recent temperatures and average high temperatures.

• The season is changing because there is a small difference between recent temperatures and average high temperatures.

A meteorologist reads a barometer at 9:00 a.m. He reads it again in the afternoon and notices a significant drop in pressure. Which choice describes the most likely weather in the evening for that location?

• It will be a sunny, clear evening.

• It will be a hot and humid evening.

• There will be many storms.

• There will be a light breeze.

Use the following information to answer the question: Ziba played with a toy truck that could hold up to two wooden blocks. Ziba thinks the truck would move slowest when carrying two blocks. Ziba carried out an investigation to test her prediction. This list describes Ziba’s investigation:

• Ziba placed a yardstick on the wood floor.

• She gave the truck a short push and then measured the truck’s position every second.

• Ziba recorded the truck’s position and time in a diagram.

Figure 1 shows the diagram of the truck’s motion.

Ziba then repeated the procedure, but this time placed two blocks into the back of the truck. Figure 2 shows the position and time measurements for the truck that carried two blocks.

Ziba pushed the truck with equal force. Select TWO choices that explain the difference in motion shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2.

• Putting blocks in the truck increased the truck's total mass.

• Putting blocks in the truck decreased the truck's total mass.

• Ziba's push produced a greater change in motion when the truck carried no blocks.

• Ziba's push produced the same change in motion when the truck was empty and when it carried two blocks.

• Ziba's push produced a greater change in motion when the truck carried two blocks.

Ziba determines the truck weighs 35 ounces when holding two blocks. She removes the blocks and weighs the truck again; the truck weighs 29 ounces. Which best explains the change in weight?

• Each block added 6 ounces of weight to the truck.

• Each block added 3 ounces of weight to the truck.

• Each block added to the weight of the truck by decreasing friction.

• Each block added to the weight of the truck by increasing friction.

What was the speed of the truck from Figure 2?

• 2 inches per second

• 6 inches per second

• 8 inches per second

• 24 inches per second

Which choice best describes the motion shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2?

• Figure 1 shows that the truck’s speed changed over time.

• Figure 2 shows that the truck’s speed changed over time.

• Figure 1 and Figure 2 show that each truck’s speed remained the same over time, but the truck from Figure 2 moved faster.

• Figure 1 and Figure 2 show that each truck’s speed remained the same over time, but the truck from Figure 1 moved faster.

How far will the truck in Figure 1 have travelled after moving for 4 seconds?

• 11 inches

• 36 inches

• 44 inches

• 55 inches

The map shows the path of the Gulf Stream as it flows past the coastline of North Carolina. Which statement best explains how the Gulf Stream affects the climate of North Carolina?

• The Gulf Stream pulls warm water from the north, making temperatures warmer during the winter and bringing more precipitation to the state.

• The Gulf Stream brings warm water from the south, making temperatures warmer during the winter and bringing more precipitation to the state.

• The Gulf Stream pushes winds eastward across the United States, preventing precipitation within the state.

• The Gulf Stream pushes wind westward across the ocean, making temperatures much cooler within the state.

On a hot, humid day Max noticed water droplets had formed on the outside of his bedroom window. What caused water droplets to form on the window?

• condensation

• evaporation

• precipitation

• transpiration

The stomach helps break down food and move it throughout the body. This diagram shows the structure of the stomach. Select THREE statements that correctly describe the stomach.

• Stomach tissue includes many different types of cells.

• Muscle cells and cells that line the inside of the stomach are made of stomach tissue.

• Stomach tissue is composed only of muscle cells.

• Muscle tissue in the stomach is made of muscle cells.

• The stomach is an organ within the digestive system.
