1

b)

2

c)

3

d)

8.

A student reviews the model shown and says that, based on the model, a solar eclipse should happen every time there is a new moon. However, solar eclipses occur less often than New Moons. Which feature of the model should be revised to best explain why solar eclipses do not happen every month?

a)

The model should show that the shape of the Earth's orbit around the Sun is an ellipse.

b)

The model should show that the shape of the Moon's orbit around the Earth is an ellipse.

c)

The model should show that Earth's equator is inclined relative to the plane of Earth's orbit around the Sun.

d)

The model should show that the plane of the Moon's orbit around the Earth is inclined relative to the plane of Earth's orbit around the Sun.

Leah is learning to use properties of substances to identify a chemical reaction. She conducts two trials. In the first trial, she pours silicon dioxide (SiO2) into water (H2O). For the second trial, she pours silver nitrate (AgNO3) solution into a test tube with a solution of potassium chloride (KCl). Look at the diagram. In which trial did a chemical reaction occur?

a)

Trial 1

b)

Trial 2

c)

Both trial 1 and trial 2

d)

No chemical reaction happened in either

Leah is learning to use properties of substances to identify a chemical reaction. She conducts two trials. In the first trial, she pours silicon dioxide (SiO2) into water (H2O). For the second trial, she pours silver nitrate (AgNO3) solution into a test tube with a solution of potassium chloride (KCl). Look at the diagram. Leah knows a chemical reaction occurred in Trial 2 because

a)

a substance with a new properties was made (new white solid)

b)

the same substances remained

11.

Leah conducts two trials to mix chemicals together. What is true about the products of the reaction?

a)

W is a solid substance

X is a liquid substance

c)

Z ia s white solid substance

d)

Y is a solid substance

12.

Leah records properties of the substances she mixed before and after the trials. Which property or properties show that a chemical reaction occurred?

a)

State of matter ONLY

b)

Mass

c)

Color ONLY

d)

Both state of matter and color

13.

Leah made a model of the reaction between Iron and Copper Sulfate. However, it needs improvements. Which statement best describes which improvements need to be made?
