A student places 250 g samples of clay, sand, gravel, and silt in separate flower pots. The pots are set on a wire rack, and dishes are placed beneath the pots so that water can drip through holes and collect. The student then pours 100 mL of water over the sample in each pot. The student measures the time it takes for water to begin dripping from the bottom of each pot.What property of soils is the student most likely examining with this procedure?
The amount of time it takes different soils to dry
How well different soils retain water
How much water is needed to dissolve different soils
The differences in texture between wet and dry soils
A student helped his father prepare soup for dinner. His father asked him to use a wooden spoon to stir the soup as it heated.
Why would the student's father ask him to use a wooden spoon?

the wooden spoon is a good conductor of thermal energy
The wooden spoon is a good insulator of thermal energy
Which object shows an energy transformation from electrical to mechanical?
Elijah is making a trivet. A trivet is placed on a table beneath a hot pot.
He knows that he must choose something that will NOT allow heat to pass easily from the hot pot to the table. Which material should Elijah use to make the trivet?

The diagram shows an electrical circuit with a buzzer. The students noticed that the buzzer was not making any sounds. What could be done to this circuit to make the buzzer work?
Add another battery to the circuit.
Replace the buzzer with a smaller one.
Close the switch to complete the circuit.
Switch the wires to get a better connection.
A diagram of a circuit is shown on the right. When the switch is closed, all three lightbulbs light up, but the bell does not ring. What is the best explanation for the bell not ringing?
Electrical circuits cannot be used to ring bells.
The lightbulbs use up all the energy before it gets to the bell.
There is no switch between the battery and the bell.
The bell is not connected to the circuit with a complete path.
The diagram shows an electrical circuit. What object could be placed in the open space between the wires to complete the circuit?
Penny
Toothpick
Eraser
Crayon
Students conducted an investigation in which they measured the distance a toy car traveled after rolling down a ramp covered with sandpaper or wax paper. Which of these questions can the students answer by analyzing the results of their investigation?
How does changing the height of a ramp affect the distance of toy car rolls?
How does changing the surface of a ramp affect the distance of toy car rolls?
How does mass affect the distance of toy car moves after rolling down a ramp?
How does the design of a toy car affect its movement after rolling down a ramp?
If a student has two magnets, how might it be determined which magnet is stronger?
measure the length and mass of both magnets
submerge each magnet in a bowl of water
examine each magnet to determine the north pole
count how many paper clips each magnet can lift
Marissa grows tow marigold plants in two hanging pots. She plants one marigold upright and she plants the other upside down, as seen in the picture above. Both marigold roots grow downward. What evidence could Marissa use to support the claim that gravitational force affects the motion of an object?
The roots grow downward because the plants are hanging from a hook.
The roots grow downward because they are affected by the force of gravity.
The roots grow downward because they are trying to reach the air below the pots.
The roots grow downward because the plants are up in the air and the roots are trying to get to the ground.
Which of these is NOT an example of deposition?
Renewable
Materials from Earth that can be replaced by nature within a relatively short period of time
Non renewable
resources that cannot be replaced by natural processes within a lifetime
Conservation
The protection of resources and avoidance of wasteful and destructive use.
What most likely happened to the dead plants and animals?
They were eaten by scavengers.
They were washed away by water.
They became fossil fuels.
They became an underground aquifer.
The pictures show a forest before and after deforestation, a process where many trees are cut down.
Which of the following best explains why trees are called a renewable resources?
If a tree is cut down, a new tree can be planted in its place.
If a tree is cut down, the animals that depended on the tree will help the tree grow back.
Only humans use trees, so tree populations will never fall below the number that are needed.
Only paper is made from trees, so the tree population will never run out.
