TCAP Review 3 All Standards

Students used two identical glasses of ice water to do an experiment. The glasses were placed side by side on a table. Glass 1 was exposed to the air in the room. Glass 2 was sealed in a plastic bag after most of the air had been removed. After five minutes the students observed the two glasses. Which was most likely the observation that they made?

• There was less water in Glass 1 than in Glass 2 due to evaporation.
• The air temperature near Glass 1 was a lot higher than the air temperature near Glass 2.
• The water temperature in Glass 2 was lower than the water temperature in Glass 1.
• More water had condensed on the outside of Glass 1 than on the outside of Glass 2.

A student melts 350 g of chocolate chips. The student concludes that after melting, there is more chocolate. Which statement correctly analyzes the student's conclusion?

• The student's conclusion is correct because heat causes more chocolate to form.
• The student's conclusion is incorrect because the mass of the chocolate chips is less in solid form and greater in liquid form.
• The student's conclusion is correct because the volume of the chocolate chips increases.
• The student's conclusion is incorrect because the mass of the melted chocolate chips is the same as the mass of the solid chocolate chips.

A student fills a bowl with vinegar and adds rusted nails. After a few hours, the student observes that the vinegar turns pale yellow, rust particles settle at the bottom of the bowl, and the nails are shiny and smooth. What type(s) of change does the student observe in the nails?

• change in color only
• change in state only
• changes in texture and color
• changes in state and texture

One image shows a ball bouncing, and one image shows a student swinging. How is the motion of the bouncing ball like the motion of the swinging student?

• Each motion acts in one direction.
• Each motion is caused only by gravity.
• Each motion occurs in a pattern.
• Each motion is caused only by friction.

Use the information to answer the question. A ball moves forward and back in a bowl, as shown. A student predicts that the next time the ball moves, it will move forward and continue moving forward and exit the bowl. Is the student correct, and why?

• Yes. The force on the ball in the direction it is moving increases each time it moves back and forth.
• No. The force on the ball in the direction it is moving decreases each time it moves back and forth.
• Yes. The force on the ball in the direction opposite its motion increases each time it moves back and forth.
• No. The force on the ball in the direction opposite its motion decreases each time it moves back and forth.

Kittens are born with their eyes closed. Their eyes will stay closed for around 8 days. The kittens use their sense of smell to find their mother to drink her milk and stay warm. By 8 weeks, the kittens are ready to leave their mother. People can put something that smells like the mother in a kitten’s new home so that the kitten will feel safe away from its mother. Which table correctly explains the kittens’ behaviors?

• Table A
• Table B
• Table C
• Table D

Choose all of the traits of humans that are inherited.

• long hair
• blue eyes
• five fingers
• small dimples
• long eyelashes

• Force A and Force B are the same because they both equal the force from the engine, creating a balanced force.
• Force A and Force B are the same because the train travels the same distance on each trip, creating a balanced force.
• Force A is less than Force B because the train car is empty when traveling to the factory, creating an unbalanced force.
• Force A is greater than Force B because the train is moving at a faster speed when traveling to the factory, creating an unbalanced force.

Moles spend much of their lives in underground tunnels. Four moles with trait variations from the same family are shown. Which mole has a trait that will give it the best chance for survival?

• Mole 1; it can better dig tunnels.
• Mole 2; it can better blend into the dirt.
• Mole 3; it can better feel the ends of the tunnels.
• Mole 4; it can better see underground.

A chemist mixed Liquid A and Liquid B together. A solid formed in the bottom of the container. The chemist dried the solid material and weighed it. The data table shows all of the material masses. Based on this data, how much liquid was in the container with the solid after the materials were mixed?

• 0 grams
• 100 grams
• 200 grams
• 300 grams
