1.

Katrina has two samples of matter shown in the picture. 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.

Katrina has two samples of matter as shown in the picture. She plans to draw models to show the state of matter of each sample. She will do this by drawing how the particles are arranged in each sample.

Is it possible to use only her 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.

Carbon dioxide is a gas found in the air. Mike uses foam balls and pencils to model carbon dioxide. He plans to create a different model to show the state of matter of carbon dioxide gas.

Select the model that Mike should create.

a)

b)

c)

4.

Sean is observing properties of matter. Which three properties can he observe using only his senses?

a)

hardness

b)

color

c)

mass

d)

texture

5.

Paisley has a container of water. Based on what she knows about particles in matter, she draws a model of the water particles before her investigation and after her investigation. The drawing shows her model. What did Paisley most likely do in her investigation?

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.

6.

a)

W

b)

X

c)

Y

d)

Z

7.

Next, the group places one of the samples in a beaker of 100 milliliters of water and stirs the contents. After 10 minutes, they notice that there is a solid left in the beaker. Which sample did they place in the beaker?

a)

W

b)

X

c)

Y

d)

8.

Which two statements describe samples that could possibly be the same kind of matter?

a)

Sample F is soluble in water and sample H is not.

b)

Sample Q has a mass of 2 grams, and sample R has a mass of 3 grams.

c)

Sample T conducts electricity and sample S does not.

d)

Sample G is in a solid state and sample M is not.

9.

Dante is investigating a property of matter. He connects a lightbulb to a battery using different materials. He tests copper wire, string, and aluminum wire and observes how well the lightbulb works.

Which property of matter is Dante most likely investigating?

a)

conductivity

b)

solubility

c)

mass

d)

texture
