Caroline tried to unscrew the stuck lid of a glass pickle jar. After a few failed attempts, she ran some hot water over the metal lid for a few seconds. Once the lid heats up a little bit, it expands and becomes easier to unscrew. Which vocabulary term correctly describes how heat was transferred from the water to the lid?
conduction
convection
radiation
absorption
Compare the three waves in the image above. What do the waves have in common?

A 5th grade student is trying to find out if a penny or a small wooden block is more dense than the other. She conducts an experiment using a water-filled beaker. Next, she gently places each item into the water-filled beaker. She observes that the penny immediately sinks to the bottom of the beaker, while the wooden block stays floating on top of the water. From her experiment this student can conclude that
both the penny and the wooden cube have the same amount of density.
the penny is more dense than the wooden block.
the wooden block is more dense than the penny.
she needs more data to figure out her conclusion.
The particle diagram shows a(n):

Amy was sitting outside on a hot, summer day, enjoying a glass of sweet iced tea. She notices some water droplets on the outside of her glass. What is causing those water droplets?
The outside air is heating up the ice, causing it to melt into a liquid.
The cold liquid in the glass is cooling the air around it, making it condense into a liquid.
The outside air is heating up the liquid in the glass, causing it to evaporate.
The liquid in the glass is cooling the air around it, causing it to evaporate.
When you boil water in a pot, some of the water escapes as steam. Which of the following choices explains what is happening with the water molecules in this scenario?
The molecules slow down as the kinetic energy increases and move farther apart from one another.
The molecules slow down as the kinetic energy decreases and move closer together.
The molecules speed up as the kinetic energy increases and the molecules move farther apart from one another.
The molecules speed up as the kinetic energy decreases and the molecules move closer together.
Which statement best describes what happens when heat is added to a substance?
Energy moves out of the substance causing the molecules to slow down.
Energy moves out of the substance causing the molecules to speed up.
Energy moves into the substance causing the molecules to slow down.
Energy moves into the substance causing the molecules to speed up.
