A boy rolls a ball across two different flat surfaces with the same amount of force. The list below describes the motion of the ball on each surface.

• Surface 1: The ball rolled one meter in three seconds.

• Surface 2: The ball rolled two meters in three seconds.

What could have caused the ball to go farther in the same amount of time on Surface 2?

• Surface 1 had less mass than Surface 2.

• Surface 1 had more mass than Surface 2.

• The ball experienced more friction while rolling on Surface 2.

• The ball experienced less friction while rolling on Surface 2.

Two identical balls, X and Y, roll on a flat, horizontal surface. Ball Y rolls faster than ball X. Which statement explains the movement of the balls for 5 seconds?

• Both balls travel the same distance.

• Ball Y travels farther than ball X.

• Ball X travels farther than ball Y.

• Ball Y has more mass because it is moving faster.

A student has two hamsters that are brothers. One hamster is named Arnold, and the other is named Chester. Arnold gets a lot of exercise because the student puts Arnold in a cage with a hamster wheel. Chester does not exercise as much as Arnold because the student puts Chester in a different cage without a hamster wheel. After one month, the student notices that Arnold can run much faster than Chester. Which choice best summarizes the student’s observations?

• A. Arnold inherited the ability to run faster by exercising.

• B. Arnold acquired the ability to run faster by exercising.

• C. Chester inherited the ability to run faster by exercising.

• D. Chester acquired the ability to run faster by exercising.

Jordan collects some gold, white, and red rocks into a bucket. Then, he shakes the bucket so that the rocks are mixed. Jordan claims the rock mixture is a new substance. Why is Jordan’s claim incorrect?

• because some of the rocks might have changed shape

• because the rocks made noise as he shook the bucket

• because he could separate individual rocks from the mixture

• because the mixture is only made of solids

How do the digestive and circulatory systems differ in how they help the body obtain nutrients?

• The digestive system breaks down food into red blood cells, and the circulatory system carries these red blood cells throughout the body.

• The digestive system breaks down food into usable nutrients, and the circulatory system carries these nutrients throughout the body.

• The digestive system breaks down food, and the circulatory system moves the food from the stomach to the large intestines.

• The digestive system mixes food with water, and the circulatory system moves the mixture through the intestines.

Alyssa is in the sixth grade. She and her mom share the same hair and eye color. They are planning a trip to Mexico. Alyssa’s mom can speak Spanish but Alyssa cannot. Why is Alyssa unable to speak Spanish?

• Alyssa’s mom inherited the ability to speak Spanish, but Alyssa did not.

• Alyssa only inherited the ability to speak English from her mom.

• Alyssa cannot learn to speak Spanish because she is too young.

• Alyssa’s mom learned to speak Spanish, but Alyssa did not.

What do the digestive system and circulatory system of the human body have in common?

• They work together to help give the body the ability to speak, smell, and breathe.

• They work together to give cells the nutrients needed to produce energy.

• They work together to reduce waste and keep the body clean.

• They work together to pump blood throughout the body.

What is one way lakes and ponds are different?

• Ponds are usually more shallow.

• Ponds contain brackish water.

• Ponds have more animal life.

• Ponds have larger waves.

Which is a producer in a forest ecosystem?

• bacteria

• moss

• worm

• beetle

The illustrations below show three different types of muscle cells in the human body. Which statement do the illustrations support?

• Muscle cells are made up of connected muscle tissues.

• A muscle is an organ made up of only one type of muscle cell.

• Different types of muscle cells make up different types of muscle tissue in the human body.

• Different types of muscle cells make up the same type of muscle tissue in all parts of the human body.
