Describe the various places on Earth where you can find saltwater and freshwater and why is this important?
Substances can be identified by their
category
appearance
properties
weight
What is a reasonable conclusion for this illustration?
The sponge is denser than the oil, which is why it floats on the oil.
The grape is denser than the syrup, which is why it floats on the syrup.
The screw is denser than the water, which is why it sinks below the water.
Oil has the highest density, so it floats to the top.
5th grade students are doing a science experiment. They have a jar full of 10 grams of sugar. They add 5 grams of a mystery chemical. When the two are mixed, they create a new solid and no gases. The container is very hot. How many grams of the new substance should be in the jar at the end of the experiment?

Everything that takes up space and has mass is matter, explain how you can prove air is made of matter.
Which of these are signs of a chemical change.
Unexpected change in color
Production of an odor
Change in temperature
Evolution of gas (formation of bubbles)
Give an example of a chemical change, include how you can tell a chemical change has taken place.
People often say you can tell if a chemical change has taken place if it can not be reversed. The picture above shows PHYSICAL changes. Using one of these pictures explain why saying "it can't be reversed" isn't a good way to determine if a chemical change has taken place.
Matter has _ _ _ _ and takes up _ _ _ _.
(a)
Explain the "conservation of matter." Give an example.
Energy flow in the ecosystem begins with
the Sun
primary consumers
secondary consumers
decomposers
producers
Plants are known as producers because
they produce new plants
they produce carbon dioxide
they are in the produce section of the store
they use Sunlight and water to produce matter/food
Animals get energy from the food they eat which allows them to do the following. Check all that apply.
repair they body
sleep
grow
move
maintain body warmth
The arrows in a food web show us
The predator and prey relationships between animals
The lifespan of organisms in the ecosystem
the movement of energy and matter in an ecosystem
Plants get what they need from
soil
bacteria
minerals, air, water, sunlight
decomposers
A primary consumer is
a plant
an organism that consumes small animals
an organism that consumes producers
an organism at the top of the food web
Which animal is the apex predator in this diagram?
spider
hawk
owl
weasel
Producers are also known as autotrophs because
they only eat soil
they eat themselves
they consume both plants and animals
they make their own food
Describe the cycling of matter and energy from one organism to another through the entire food chain. Give specific examples, beginning with the sun and ending with a decomposer.
Define producers, primary consumers, and secondary consumers.
Eliminating decomposers may result in
dead animals would pile up
feces would pile up
garbage would pile up
all of the above
A teacher asked students to draw a model to represent where plants get most of the material they need for growth. A student drew this diagram. Which two materials become new mass from the plant as it grows.
Sunlight
Water
Nutrients in soil
Oxygen
Carbon Dioxide
In the diagram shown, which organism would have the least impact if it was removed from the ecosystem?
Phytoplankton
Krill
Penguin
Zooplankton
A student makes a chocolate cake without flour. He measures out these ingredients:
115 grams chocolate (C)
100 grams butter (B)
175 grams sugar (S)
56 grams (2) eggs (E)

A
B
C
D
A chemist mixed a gray solid and a liquid in open containers. The solid could not be seen in the liquid, but the liquid turned clear and gray. The chemist waited 2 days. Some of the liquid evaporated. Which model best explains what the chemist saw after 2 days?
Tea bags are small bags made of filter paper filled with tea leaves. You make tea by placing the tea bag into hot water and letting it sit for a few minutes. Explain how the color and taste of the tea get out of the tea bag and into the hot water, while the leaves stay in the filter paper bag.
A student was observing a box. He lightly tapped the four corners with his finger. He observed that the lower left corner of the box made a different sound than when he tapped the other corners.

An older man found a big split rock near his childhood

because when he was young it was one big rock. What
likely caused the rock to split?
Chemicals in the rain made a tiny crack bigger.
Tree roots grew from a seed in a crack and split the rock.
Freezing and thawing of rain and snow in a crack split the rock.
Wind blew into a tiny crack and made it bigger.
Study the map that shows the locations of earthquakes and volcanoes around the world. Check each sentence that is supported by evidence from the map.
Volcanoes often occur where continents meet oceans.
Antarctic Earthquakes and volcanoes often happen in similar locations.
Most earthquakes occur in Australia.
More volcanoes and earthquakes occur in or near the Pacific Ocean compared to the Atlantic Ocean.
These pictures both the same kind of weathering. Picture A is a cave, and picture B is a shore near the ocean. The rocks in both pictures were once solid. Mark what likely caused both to change.
Plants grew in cracks in the rocks and broke them apart.
Wind blew sand across the rocks and wore them down.
Water froze in small cracks in the rocks and made the cracks bigger.
Chemicals in the water dissolved some of the rock.
