A 5th grade teacher showed the class a container of salt. As she poured the salt into a beaker, she asked students to write down which state of matter the salt is and what evidence they have to support it. Which statement is correct?
Salt is a liquid because it pours just like water does.
Salt is a liquid because it takes the shape of its container.
Salt is a solid because it takes the shape of its container.
Salt is a solid because each salt crystal has a definite shape.
Maria likes iced tea and her mom likes hot tea. Maria poured the same amount of hot tea into a glass with ice as her mom poured into a cup. They then stirred the same amount of sugar into each of their teas.
After they both finished their tea, Maria noticed there was still sugar at the bottom of her glass, while her mom's cup did not have any sugar left. What was the most likely reason for the sugar left at the bottom of the iced tea?
Maria's drink was in a glass and her Mom's was in a cup.
Maria's glass had less tea in it than her Mom's cup had.
Maria's tea was at a lower (colder) temperature and dissolving is slower.
Maria's drink was stirred more.
Which of these is the fastest way to sort steel pellets from a pile of stone gravel?
sort by size using a sieve
sort by shape using sight
sort by hardness using touch
sort by magnetism using a magnet
The table shows data recorded by a student during an investigation.
Which is the best conclusion for the investigation?
Sugar stops dissolving at high (hot) temperatures.
Sugar dissolves slower in warmer water.
Sugar dissolves faster in warmer water.
Sugar dissolves faster in cooler water.
In Ms. Baker’s science class, students filled two glass bottles with equal amounts of water and attached a balloon to the top of each bottle. The bottle on the right is heated on a hot plate to 80°C (176°F), while the bottle on the left is kept at room temperature, 21°C (70°F). After several minutes, the students observe that the balloon on the right inflates.
Which statement best explains the students’ observation?
The heat slows down a chemical change, producing the gas to fill in the balloon.
The heat speeds up a chemical change, producing a new substance.
The heat slows down a physical change, causing the water level to decrease.
The heat speeds up a physical change, causing the liquid to turn into a gas.
The amount of matter an object has is its ____________.
weight
volume
size
mass

Balance
Spring Scale
Three vegetables are combined to make a salad as shown in the pictures.
It is a physical change because the temperature of each vegetable changed.
It is a physical change because the vegetables changed in shape.
It is not a physical change because the vegetables did not freeze or evaporate.
It is a physical change because the vegetables taste differently when they are cut up.
