A student wants to test the force of magnetism by placing objects on top of a piece of cardboard and then moving them with a magnet placed under the cardboard. Which items will help the students with this investigation?
A paper clip, a thumbtack, and a toothpick
A paper clip, a penny, and iron filings
A piece of foil, iron filings, and an iron nail
An iron nail, a paper clip, and a thumbtack
In a science classroom, the students performed an investigation, which included the procedural steps listed.
Hold a small paper boat in one hand.
Pour a small amount of iron filings mixed with salt to the paper boat.
What type of force could be used to move the iron filings?
Gravity
Friction
Magnetism
Push/Pull

Which investigation will best test the effects of gravity on moving objects?
Pencils falling from the same height
Balloons floating upward from the same height
A bicycle speeding up on a flat surface
A ball slowing down on a flat surface
Students rolled a 22-gram car down three different ramps. The results from the investigation are shown in the table.
Which statement best explains why the car rolled down the wood ramp the fastest?
There was more force applied to the car on the wood ramp
There was less friction on the surface of the wood ramp
The wood ramp was higher than the other ramps
The car on the wood ramp has more mass
What happens to the rock first when a large force pushes where the arrow is shown?
The rock moves up
The rock moves down
The rock stays where it is
The rock moves toward the middle
Anna touched the toy truck with her finger and the truck started to roll. Which answer choice best describes why this happens?
Anna pulled the car which made the forces balanced
Anna increased friction on the car which made the forces unbalanced
Anna pushed the car which made the forces unbalanced
Anna applied gravity to the car which made the forces balanced
Which drawing shows two magnets that will push away from one another?
Two toy cars are moving toward one another on a track. Car A has a magnet at the front, as shown in the drawing.
What should be at the front of Car B to make it so that the cars cannot bump together?
A piece of steel
A piece of wood
A magnet with its north pole pointing toward Car A
A magnet with its south pole pointing toward Car A
