1. Which claim best explains the particles in a liquid?

A. Particles in a liquid are packed tightly together and vibrating

B. Particles in a liquid are slightly spread out and sliding past each other

C. Particles in a liquid are moving freely and bouncing off of one another

D. Particles in a liquid are the most spread out and vibrating

2.Which claim best explains which state of matter has the most energy?

A. Gas is the state of matter with the most energy because the particles are sliding past one another.

B. Gas is the state of matter with the most energy because the particles are spread out and bouncing off of one another.

C. Solid is the state of matter with most energy because the particles are spread out and bouncing off of one another.

D. Solid is the state of matter with most energy because the particles are packed tightly and vibrating.

3. If you leave an ice cube out, and it melts, this is an example of...

A. property change

B. a reaction

C. a state change

D. condensation

4. When a substance evaporates, the particles in the substance

A. move faster and the substance changes into a gas.

B. move faster and lose heat.

5. What is a property?

A. a mixture of materials that dissolve

B. a combination of two or more substances

B. It has a hardness of 3

C. It has a hardness of 2.5

D. It has a hardness between 3 and 5.5

11.

9. Was there a Chemical Reaction caused when burning the wick of the candle? (EMI)

A. Yes, because the candle is giving off light and heat which is energy formation.

B. Yes, because the wax is changing from a solid to a liquid

C. No, because the candle is giving off light and heat which is energy formation

D. No, because the wax is changing from a solid to a liquid

12.

10. What does the data tell you about how the experiment worked? (SIN)

A. The data shows that matter was conserved in one out of five trials.

B. The data shows that matter was conserved in four out of five trials.

C. The data shows that matter was conserved in all five trials.

D. The data shows that matter was not conserved in any of the trials.

13.

11. Which trial(s) provide evidence to support the idea that the number of particles of matter did not change before and after the ice melted (matter was conserved)? (EMI)

A. Trial 3 only

B. Trials 1 and 3

C. Trials 1, 2, and 5

D. Trials 1, 2, 4 and 5

14.

12. Based on the investigation which reason BEST explains why trial 3 did not follow the law of conservation of mass?

A. Sometimes ice gains weight as it melts.

B. The scale may need to be adjusted to provide accurate measurements.

C. Ice looses weight as it melts

Something that cannot be separated

21.

What is a property that can be seen?

How heavy something is

How it reacts with another substance

The color, shape, or size of an object

How it changes when heated

22.

When the metal lid on a jar is stuck, why does running warm water over it help you open it?

The heat makes the lid softer.

The metal lid expands when it gets warm.

The water makes it slippery.

The glass jar shrinks when it gets warm.

23.

Why do small gaps get left between sections of a bridge or railroad tracks?

To make it easier to build

So rainwater can drain away

To give space for the metal to expand when it gets hot

To keep animals from walking on it
