Which table shows the materials used by the student and correctly explains why each material is needed to make the circuit work?
A student is investigating whether certain materials are conductors or insulators. The student puts each material to be tested into a circuit to see whether a light bulb will light. The observations from the investigation are shown in the table. Which Investigation Results table correctly explains the observations from the student’s investigation?
The student has a variety of materials to test. Which steps would BEST complete the procedure and which conclusion should the student make?
step 5: Connect a test material to the open ends of wire 1 and wire 3. step 6: Make observations, and repeat step 5 with a different test material. conclusion: If the bulb lights up, the material is a conductor. If the bulb does not light up, the material is an insulator.
step 5: Connect a test material to the open ends of wire 1 and wire 3. step 6: Make observations, and repeat step 5 with a different test material. conclusion: If the bulb lights up, the material is an insulator. If the bulb does not light up, the material is a conductor
step 5: Connect the open ends of wire 1 and wire 3 to each other to complete the circuit. step 6: Touch a test material to the completed circuit, and record observations. conclusion: If the bulb lights up, the material is an insulator. If the bulb does not light up, the material is a conductor

Based on the evidence, which TWO arguments correctly match a magnet to its best use?
. Magnet 1 should be used to pick up many small magnetic objects at once because the temporary magnet can pick up as many objects as the permanent magnet can.
Magnet 1 should be used to pick up magnetic objects in one location and drop them off in another location because temporary magnets can be turned on and off.
Magnet 1 can be used in all the ways magnet 2 is used because temporary magnets can be made stronger or weaker and permanent magnets cannot.
Magnet 2 should be used to pick up magnetic objects in places where there is no power supply because permanent magnets do not run out of energy.
Magnet 2 should be used to pick up large magnetic objects because permanent magnets are stronger than temporary magnets
A student is investigating chemical changes by using different materials. Which investigation would provide evidence of a chemical change and why?
Melting a solid with fire would provide evidence of a chemical change because the solid would change shape.
Cutting cardboard into many smaller pieces would provide evidence of a chemical change because the pieces cannot be put back together
Placing a solid into hot water and stirring while the solid dissolves would provide evidence of a chemical change because the dissolved material is lost
Combining two liquids that give off heat and gas would provide evidence of a chemical change because the particles react to make a new material with different properties
Which investigation would provide evidence of a chemical change?
Spray perfume into the air, and when the air and perfume mix, observe the change in odor that happens as they mix
Put an antacid tablet in water, and when the antacid and water mix, observe the bubbles that form as a new substance is created.
Heat water in a pan on a stove, and observe the steam that forms as the state of matter of the water changes.
Blow air through a wand filled with soap solution, and observe the bubbles that form as the air becomes trapped.
Students are investigating chemical changes that occur in different materials. Which TWO investigations would provide evidence of a chemical change?
Placing a liquid in a freezer until the liquid becomes a solid would provide evidence of a chemical change because the state of matter changes.
Using a saw to cut a solid into two different pieces would provide evidence of a chemical change because the pieces cannot be put back together
. Using a hot plate to heat a solid until it changes color and releases an odor would provide evidence of a chemical change because the particles cannot be changed back.
Placing two different liquids together in a beaker and observing that a solid forms when they mix would provide evidence of a chemical change because a new material is formed.
Placing a mixture containing a solid and a liquid on a windowsill and letting the liquid evaporate would provide evidence of a chemical change because the evaporated material is lost
Which argument BEST describes the student’s claim?
The student’s claim is correct because water fills small cracks in rocks, freezes, and expands, making the cracks larger over time
The student’s claim is correct because the rock was carried from the top of the volcano to its base by a glacier, creating many cracks over time.
The student’s claim is not correct because the rock was picked up by moving water and rolled against other rocks, smoothing its surface and causing cracks in a short period of time
The student’s claim is not correct because large cracks in rocks are caused when lava from a volcano covers the rock so its temperature rises and falls in a short period of time, causing it to break.

. step 1: Use light-colored clay to make the shape of the Eurasian Plate. step 2: Use dark-colored clay to make the shape of the Indian Plate. step 3: Slowly push the dark-colored plate toward the light-colored plate. step 4: Observe and record how the shapes of both plates change when the edges push against each other.
