A student wants to build a circuit with four lightbulbs and one bell. The student wants to place a switch in the circuit so that only one light will still be on and the bell will still ring when the switch is opened. Which of these circuits should the student build?
Students investigate force. The masses they use begin at rest on the ramp. The set up the students use is shown below.
Which change will reduce the amount of force needed to move the masss?
Decrease the height of the ramp
Increase the height of the ramp
Add an additional mass
Pull the spring scale with two hands
A student compares the physical properties of the four objects shown.
Which of these physica l properties do all four objects have in common?
They all have the same physical state and conduct electricity
They all conduct electricity and attract the same metal objects.
They all attract the same metal objects and are not soluble in water.
They all are not soluble in water and have the same physical state.
The ingredients in some mixtures maintain their physical properties. In which of the following mixtures do all of the ingredients maintain their physical properties?
Water, salt, and sand
Ice, lemon juice, and sugar
Choclate powder and milk
Pretzels, chocolate chips and raisins
A student observes an orange falling from a tree. The student designs an experiment to study whether the height of an object affects the length of time it takes for it to hit the ground. The student makes a hypothesis that the length of time it takes an object to hit the ground depends on its height. Some of the steps in the student's experiment are described below.
Which of these most likely completes Step 3 in the student's experiment?
Use a measuring tape to measure the distance the golf ball travels from the ladder for each trial.
Use a stopwatch to measure the time it takes the golf ball to stop moving from the release for each trial.
Use a measuring tape to measure the distance the golf ball travels from the release to the ground for each trial.
Use a stopwatch to measure the time it takes the golf ball to travel from the release to the ground for each trial.
A student wants to make a change to the circuit shown below so that when Switch 1 is open and Switch 2 is closed only one light will be on in the circuit.
Which diagram shows how the student should change the circuit?
Diagram A
Diagram B
A student adds salt to their soup. Which property of the salt remains the same when the salt is stirred in the soup?
The color of the salt
The taste of the salt
The texture of the salt
The size of the salt cyrstals
What happens when light travels through a microscope lens?
Light travels through the microscope lens without changing direction.
Moving in straight lines causes light to increase in brightness.
Light refracts through the lens of the microscope.
Moving in straight lines keeps light from reflecting.
The student is observing part of a plant with a microscope.
Which statement describes a behavior of light in the microscope?
Light travels through the microscope lens without changing direction.
Moving in straight lines causes light to increase in brightness.
Light refracts th rough the lens of the microscope.
Moving in straight lines keeps light from reflecting.
A thin beam of light is shown in this picture.
What does the picture demonstrate about light?
Light and its reflections travel in straight lines.
Light cannot reflect from more than one surface.
Light that goes through water cannot travel in stra ight lines.
Light can travel in a circular path.
A student constructs the circuit shown for a science demonstration.
With the switches in these. positions, which lights are on?
All the lights are on
Lights 1 and 2 only
Lights 3 and 4 only
None of the lights
The diagram shows a light being beamed onto a mirror and through a fishbowl filled with water.
Which statement best describes the behavior of the light rays as it encounters the mirror and fishbowl filled with water? Select TWO correct answers.
The light ray is refracted off of the mirror and fishbowl.
The light ray is transmitted through the mirror and fish bowl.
The light ray is reflected off of the mirror.
The light ray is refracted off of the mirror.
The light ray is refracted in the fishbowl.
The picture shows how a light ray behaves with two different types of materials.
Which table best describes the behavior of the light ray as it encounters the materials?
A table of different properties of four samples of matter is shown.
Which conclusion can be made about the samples based on the table?
Sample 1 is made of plastic.
Sample 2 is made of metal.
Sample 3 is attracted to magnets.
Sample 4 is less dense than water.
A student conducts an investigation shown in the diagram. In this experiment a paper cup hangs from a string tied to a single uncooked spaghetti noodle.
The student measures and records the mass of a penny.The student then adds pennies to the
paper cup one at a time
Which question is the student most likely trying to answer with this investigation?
How many spaghetti noodles will it take to hold up the mass of a penny?
How much force will it take to break the spaghetti noodle?
How long should the string that holds the paper cup be in order to support the greatest mass of pennies?
How does the distance between the two chairs affect the amount of force it takes for the spaghetti noodle to break?
A group of students is building the circuit represented in the diagram.
What object can be used at Position X for the buzzer to sound when switch K is closed?
A power source
An insulated wire
Another bulb
Another switch
A student conducts the investigation shown in the diagram. In this investigation, a pullback toy car is pulled back and released.
The student measures and records the distance the car travels.
The student then adds one penny on top of the car for each of the next two trials.
Which question is the student most likely try ing to answer with this investigation?
How does the mass of the car affect the distance it will travel?
How does tile texture of the road affect the distance it w1illl travel?
How does the type of car affect the amount of pennies it can carry?
How does the distance the car travels affect the number of pennies it can carry?
A student builds a circuit allowing the lightbulbs to light, the buzzers to make sound, and the motors to turn. Which two switches can
be open and still allow all of the parts to work?
Select TWO correct answers.
Switch 1
Switch 2
Switch 3
Switch 4
