The diagram shows a periscope used to see objects that are behind or under a barrier. What makes it possible to see an object when looking through a periscope? The periscope –
contains mirrors that reflect the object
magnifies small objects so they can be seen
absorbs the light rays passing through it
separates the light into different colors
Which of the following describes the next step they should take in their investigation to understand how mass affects the force needed to move an object?
Pull the spring scale a longer distance.
Cover the table top with a carpet square.
Repeat the same steps using a heavier mass.
Attach a smaller block to the spring scale.
To determine if the force of the rolling marble changed, what should the students measure?
The mass of Marble #2 before and after being struck by Marble #1
The distance Marble #2 moves after being struck by Marble #1
The time it takes Marble #2 to move after being struck by Marble #1
The direction Marble #2 moves after being struck by Marble #1
Based on the observations shown here, which surface had the greatest amount of friction?
Surface A
Surface B
Surface C
Surface D
What factor are the students testing the effect of on the time it takes the washers to swing?
Height of desk
Length of string
Number of washers
Number of swings
A student did an experiment using water. Food coloring was added to help identify the different water samples. Each sample was slowly poured into different containers of warm and cold water. The results are shown in the table here. What question could this experiment have been designed to answer?
Does the color of the food coloring affect how water reacts in room temperature water?
How fast does food coloring change the color of water when added to warm water?
Will hot water react differently when placed in containers of warm and cold water?
How will different water temperatures react when they are put in warm and cold water?
According to the data in the table, which of the following statements is true?
Substances Y and Z have a greater density than W and X.
Substances Y and W have a greater density than Z and X.
Substances W and Z are magnetic while Y and X are not.
Substance Y has a greater mass than Z.
What properties would help you separate white sand and salt?
Color and texture
Solubility and density
Magnetism and elasticity
Hardness and transparency
Jayla has a bottle of saltwater and sand. She filtered out the sand and was left with saltwater. What could she do to speed up the separation of the water and salt?
Heat the mixture
Use a magnet
Add more sand
Freeze the mixture
What could a student use instead of a battery in a circuit?
A solar cell
More wires
A larger bulb
A switch
Why are solar panels helpful?
They can refract the light to make objects look bigger.
They can reflect the light so we can see ourselves.
They can absorb the light and convert it into electricity.
They can transmit the light without changing it.
Thomas wants to find out how much force is required to pull his pencil bag across his desk. What tool will he need to investigate his question?
Balance
Spring scale
Stopwatch
Meterstick
Bryan hypothesized that a more-massive rubber ball will bounce higher than a less-massive one if they are dropped from the same height. To test this hypothesis, Bryan will need a–
meterstick and stopwatch.
balance and meterstick.
spring scale and balance.
stopwatch and balance.
Salt and pepper were mixed together. The particles were the same size. What is the best way to remove the pepper from the mixture?
Add water to dissolve the salt and filter the pepper.
Move a magnet through the mixture to remove the pepper.
Pour the mixture through a screen to separate the particles.
Heat the mixture so the pepper melts and filter the salt.
What caused the beads to act differently in the two containers?
The beads had different properties when they touched the water.
The water and salt solution had different properties than water alone.
The temperature of the water was different and caused the beads to sink.
The beads changed the properties of the water in the containers.
The force that causes things to fall is ______.
Friction
Magnetism
Gravity
Electricity
