Removing wire 1
b)
Removing wires 2 and 4
c)
Removing wires 2 and 5
d)
Removing wires 3 and 4
2.
Students created a circuit using different colored light bulbs. What will happen if switch 3 is closed and the other switches are left open?
a)
Only the white bulb will operate.
b)
None of the bulbs will operate.
c)
Only the white and yellow bulbs will operate.
d)
Only the red and blue bulbs will operate.
3.
This circuit has three light bulbs and a bell. Which procedure will result in only the blue light bulbs operating?
a)
Close switches 1 and 2 and leave switch 3 open.
b)
Close switch 3 and leave switches 1 and 2 open.
c)
Close switches 2 and 3 and leave switch 1 open.
d)
Close switch 2 and leave switches 1 and 3 open.
4.
Which of these changes to the electric circuit will cause the light bulb to light up?
a)
Straightening the wire, so the current can flow more easily.
b)
Turning one battery so that its positive end connects to the other battery's negative end.
c)
Adding a switch to the circuit.
d)
The bulb will light as is.
5.
A group of students built this circuit. The light bulb does not glow. Which of these statements explain this observation?
a)
The battery is not charged.
b)
The light bulb is not part of a complete circuit.
c)
The circuit does not have a switch.
d)
The bell uses most of the energy to the battery.
6.
A student draws a model showing the movement of the Earth, the Moon, and the Sun. Which arrow shows the movement that causes day and night on the Earth?
a)
Arrow 1 because it shows the rotation of the Sun.
b)
Arrow 2 because it shows the orbit of Earth around the Sun.
c)
Arrow 3 because it shows the orbit of the Moon around the Earth.
d)
Arrow 4 because it shows the rotation of Earth.
7.
A student is looking for evidence that the Earth always rotates on its axis. Which of the following would be the best evidence?
a)
The different amount of rainfall that falls each day.
b)
The appearance of shadows changing throughout the day.
c)
The presence of planets in the night sky.
d)
The different phases of the Moon in a month.
8.
Some students use a globe to model the rotation of Earth. They rotated the globe and observed that Texas was in the exact same spot after a full rotation. The students could rotate the globe quickly or slowly. If the globe could only rotate at the rate the Earth rotates, how long would each complete rotation take?
a)
24 hours
b)
365 days
c)
29.5 days
d)
12 hours
9.
Erosion is one of the processes involved in the formation of sedimentary rock. Which of these best describes the process of erosion?
a)
Rocks are broken into smaller pieces that remain in the same location.
b)
Pressure compacts layers of sediment that turns them into rock.
c)
Sediment falls to the bottom of the lake to form sedimentary layers.
d)
Pieces of rock or soil are carried from one place to another.
10.
This photograph shows plants growing on the surface of the pond. How do plants like these form fossil fuels?
a)
The dead plants sink to the bottom of the pond and get buried by sediment for millions of years.
b)
The dead plants get buried for millions of years and attract fossils that form carbon.
c)
The dead plants sink to the bottom of the pond and are consumed by decomposers.
d)
The dead plants produce carbon that is consumed by fish that form carbon.
11.
Fossil fuels are formed after long periods of time after particles in water settled on the sea floor and formed marine mud. What kind of particles needed to be present in marine mud to form fossil fuels?
a)
Mostly sand and a few small bits of wood.
b)
Mostly decaying organisms.
c)
Mostly lava and a few sedimentary rocks.
d)
Mostly metal minerals.
12.
All of these are related to the formation of oil and natural gas EXCEPT--
a)
decomposed animals
b)
decaying plants
c)
sedimentary rocks
d)
active volcanos
13.
The model shows layers of sediment on the ocean floor. Which of the following best explains how these layers can become rock over many years?
a)
Sand in the sediment melts and turns into rock.
b)
The weight of the water compacts the sediment into rock.
c)
Changes in water temperature changes the sand into sedimentary rocks.
d)
Pollution caused by humans turn sediment into rocks.
14.
The diagram shows the sequence of the processes that turns solid rock into sandstone. Which two processes best competes this diagram?
a)
Melting and cooling
b)
Erosion and compaction
c)
Compaction and cementation
d)
Evaporation and dissolving
15.
The photograph shows a canyon in Northern Arizona. Which of these best describes how the canyon was mostly likely formed?
a)
Floods eroded the sandstone away from the canyon walls.
b)
Glaciers eroded the canyon rock as they melted and moved.
c)
Ice wedged into the canyon rock and weathered the canyon walls.
d)
Wind blew large rock that smashed against the canyon walls.
