How do the digestive and circulatory systems differ in how they help the body obtain nutrients? (LS.5.1.2)

• 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.

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? (LS.5.3.2)

• Arnold inherited the ability to run faster by exercising.

• Arnold 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? (PS.5.1.2)

• 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

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? (PS.5.2.2)

• 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.
