During Mr. Nye's science class, students were expected to identify various substances using physical properties they could easily measure. Mr. Nye gave each of the five groups a green, metal cube and asked them to identify what the cube was made of.

Matt's cube, after 5 trials, had an average density of 7.40 g/cm³ . His group's cube was made of

• aluminum

• gold.

• nickel.

• zinc.

Two cups of the same size are filled to the brim with clear liquids. Only one container holds water. The other contains a liquid that has greater density than water. How could you safely identify the container holding the water?

• See which cup feels heavier.

• Taste the liquid in both cups.

• Touch the liquid in both cups.

• Add salt to the liquids to see if it dissolves.

Josh is designing a lab to separate a mixture of sulfur powder and iron filings. He looks at all the ways to separate a mixture but decides that one way would work the best on this mixture. What method should Josh use?

• density

• filtration

• evaporation

• magnetic attraction

Two cups of the same size are filled to the brim with clear liquids. Cup A holds water. Cup B contains alcohol. Your teacher challenges you to figure out which cup holds water. Because of your great scientific knowledge, you know that all substances have their own special properties. First, you waft (carefully smell) the two liquids. What property are you checking when you waft?

• color

• odor

• taste

• texture

Your science teacher gives you three liquids to pour into a jar. After pouring, the liquids layer as seen here. What property of matter allows the different liquids to layer in the jar?

• color

• density

• mass

• texture

Two liquids are poured into two cups. Cup A contains a colorless, odorless liquid. Cup B contains a colorless liquid with a strong odor. An ice cube floats in Cup A but sinks in Cup B. When heated, the liquid in Cup B boils at a much lower temperature than the liquid in Cup A. What kind of properties are used to compare the two liquids?

• visible

• chemical

• physical

• phase change
