From November to February, the constellation Orion is clearly visible in the night sky from Mississippi. Orion appears to rise from the east and set in the west. The stars do not actually move through the sky. They appear to change positions due to the Earth's Movement.

the rotation of the Sun
the rotation of Earth on its axis
the revolution of the Sun around the Earth
the revolution of the moon around the Sun

Making solutions
Solutions are mixtures that are very common in our daily lives. A solution is composed of a solute and a solvent.
A student conducted an investigation using 50 milliliter of distilled water and 5 grams of table salt. The water for each test was brought to a certain temperature before the salt was added. The data from the investigation are shown in the graph.
Which conclusion best describes the data in the graph?
Increasing the amount of solvent increases the temperature of a solution
Increasing the temperature of the solute increases the amount of the solution
the amount of solute in a solution determines the time needed for the solute to dissolve in the solvent
A decrease in the temperature of a solvent increases the time needed for a solute to dissolve in a solvent
A student needs to separate a mixture compsed of iron fillings and sand. How can the student most easily separate all the iron fillings from the mixture?

Add water to the mixture and pour off the floating iron filings.
Add water to the mixture and allow it to evaporate and leave behind the iron filings

This is chemical change because the products can be changed back into wood
This is chemical change because the products are different from the starting materials
