1.

Which statement is a measurement of what is shown in the picture?

a)

Sample X is a different color than sample Y.

b)

Sample X and sample Y are liquids.

c)

Sample X fills more of the container than sample Y.

d)

Sample Y has a volume of 50 milliliters.

2.

Alan plans to draw models to show the state of matter of each sample. He will do this by drawing how the particles are arranged in each sample.

Is it possible to use only the models to identify which sample is X and which is Y?

a)

No, because the samples are both made of the same elements.

b)

No, because the samples are both liquids.

c)

Yes, because the samples are different colors.

d)

Yes, because the samples have different volumes.

3.

Kate is observing properties of matter. Which three properties can she observe using her senses?

a)

hardness

b)

color

c)

mass

d)

4.

Sam wants to draw a model to show that particles of matter are too small to be seen. Which would best help him show this concept?

a)

Sam should model the temperature of a sugar mixture.

b)

Sam should model the mass of a sugar cube.

c)

Sam should model the height, width, and length of a block of ice.

d)

Sam should model the elements that make up water.

5.

How can Simone's model be changed to show a different kind of matter?

a)

Use rubber balls instead of foam balls.

b)

Connect the foam balls using shorter pencils.

c)

Connect another black foam ball to the model.

d)

Use larger foam balls.

a)

She stirred the water.

b)

She heated the water.

c)

She took the lid off the container of water.

d)

She poured the water into a larger container.
