In a lab demonstration, Mr. Sharpe placed a piece of zinc into a glass beaker containing

hydrochloric acid. When the two substances were mixed, the zinc turned black and

hydrogen gas was released. What happened during the reaction?

• A. The zinc and hydrochloric acid changed, creating products with different properties.

• B. The zinc and hydrochloric acid all combined, creating one product with the same

  properties.

• C. Some of the zinc and hydrochloric acid became energetic, causing the zinc to

  evaporate the hydrochloric acid.

• D. Some of the zinc and hydrochloric acid escaped, leaving behind smaller amounts of

  the same zinc and hydrochloric acid.

John, Jacob, and Jamian were creating figures with modeling clay. They

divided a 90-gram bar of clay. John and Jamian combined their clay to

make one large figure, then Jacob added his. What happened to the

mass of the figure they created?

• A. The resulting figure’s mass would be about 180 grams, since John and

  Jamian’s figure had twice as much clay.

• B. The resulting figure’s mass would be about 90 grams, since the

  divided clay was formed back together.

• C. The resulting figure’s mass would be about 30 grams, since the

  original bar was divided into thirds.

• D. The resulting figure’s mass would be about 270 grams, since all three

  boys combined their clay.

For a homework assignment, Jonathon had to gather data about the time it took him to get home from school that day. This is the graph Jonathon turned in. Which is the best explanation of Jonathon’s graph?

• On Jonathon’s way home from school, he stopped to play at the park.

  After playing for 10 minutes, he went home.

• On Jonathon’s way home from school, he remembered he needed to

  stop at the store for his mom. After 5 minutes in the store, he went

  home.

• On Jonathon’s way home from school, he remembered he forgot his

  reading book. After he picked up his reading book from school, he

  went home.

• On Jonathon’s way home from school, he realized he forgot his

  reading book. After he picked up his reading book from school, he

  stopped at the store and then went home.

Which statement best explains why engineers leave space between

sections when building a bridge?

• A. A bridge without spaces will expand during a hot day and possibly

  crack.

• B. A bridge without spaces will expand during a cold day and possibly

  crack.

Cameron bought a table. When it was delivered to her house the pieces’

mass totaled 60 kg. Which explains the mass of the table after Cameron

put the table together?

• A. The table’s mass is more than the pieces because it is affected by

  more gravity.

• B. The table’s mass is less than its pieces because the weight is evenly

  distributed.

• C. The table’s mass is more because it is bigger than each of the pieces.

• D. The table’s mass is the same amount as all of the pieces.
