Students are comparing two mixtures. The first mixture is of sand and water, while the second mixture is of sugar and water. Which of the mixtures is also a solution?

• Neither mixture is a solution.

• The sand and water mixture is a solution.

• The sugar and water mixture is a solution.

• Both mixtures are solutions.

Look at the table that shows observations from creating different mixtures with two liquids combined. Mixtures | Substance 1 | Substance 2 | Combined Substances Mixture 1: Liquid creamer and coffee | White, milky | Dark Brown | It is light brown; white, milky creamer can no longer be seen. Mixture 2: Vegetable oil and water | Yellowish, shiny | Clear | There is a yellowish, shiny layer on top of a layer of clear water. What can be claimed about the two mixtures? Select Two correct answers

• A. Mixture 1 is not a solution because it is light brown and milky

• B. Mixture 2 is a solution because both liquids can be seen

• C. Mixture 2 is not a solution because the properties of both liquids remain the same

• D. Mixture 1 is a solution because the creamer spread out evenly in the coffee

• E. Mixture 1 is not a solution because you cannot see the creamer

A mixture is formed when chocolate chips are stirred into a bowl of cookie dough. If a 340 g bag of chocolate chips were added into the bowl, what would the mass of the chocolate chips be after being stirred into the dough?

Pham did an experiment with a block of wood, a spring scale, and different types of fabric. She used the spring scale to see how much force was needed to pull the block of wood across the table with different types of fabric on top. What question was Pham most likely investigating?

• How do you use a spring scale?

• How do different surfaces affect how much force is used to pull the block of wood?

• How does magnetism affect how far the block is pulled?

• How does gravity affect how far the block is pushed?

A student used a magnet, a ruler, and a paper clip for the investigation shown. What would most likely be the question they were trying to answer?

• How many paper clips can a bar magnet pick up?

• How many centimeters apart can a magnet attract a paper clip?

• What kinds of magnets are attracted to paper clips?

• What items are attracted to a magnet?

Students were testing the effects of gravity and came up with a prediction that the higher a ramp is, the faster a toy car will travel 1 m from the ramp. Which of the following should be added to the procedure to make sure the test is fair?

• After each trial, add 10 g more mass to the car.

• After each trial, use a different car.

• After each trial, change the height of the ramp by 10 cm.

• After each trial, cover the ramp with different surfaces.
