temperate
tropical wet
polar
hot desert
The student reports that the weather is good today. Which of these is the best evidence for the student’s report?
There are cumulus clouds in the sky, and the sun is shining.
there are stratus clouds in the sky, and the tree has leaves.
There are cirrus clouds in the sky, and the temperature is cold.

How are catch limits good for people?
Catch limits cause the biodiversity in the oceans to go down.
Catch limits cause the price of fish at local stores to go up.
Catch limits allow for invasive species to move into the ecosystem.
Catch limits ensure that there will be a steady food source in the future.
The table lists properties of three different materials.
Which is these is most likely Material 1?

Dolphins are sometimes seen in groups. The groups are called pods.
The picture shows a pod of dolphins.
A student claims that living in pods is better for the dolphins than living alone.
Which TWO activities are easier for dolphins because they live in a pod?
Communicating with different species
Swimming in calm waters
Breathing above the surface
Hunting for prey

Students place two sets of identical magnets near each other, as shown in the Before diagram. The After diagram shows that the magnets in the first set moved toward each other. The magnets in the second set did not move toward each other. Which statement BEST explains the behavior of one of these sets of magnets?
The magnets in the first set moved toward each other because the opposite poles of the magnets attracted each other.
The magnets in the second set did not move toward each other because the distance between the magnets was too large.
The magnets in the first set moved toward each other because the north pole of each magnet was stronger than its south pole.
The magnets in the second set did not move toward each other because these magnets need electricity to work.
A student rolls a ball down a ramp that has a toy car sitting at the bottom. The ball hits the car at the bottom. The car rolls off the ramp and onto the floor. The student wants to make the car roll farther and faster. In which of these ways can the student give the car more energy?
Use a different ball that weighs less.
Tape a small weight to the top of the car so it is heavier.
Use a taller ramp that raises the ball higher off the ground.
Make the bottom of the ramp longer so the ball has to roll farther before hitting the car.
The water cycle is shown in the diagram.
Which table lists the correct labels for the diagram?
What is the primary gas found in Earth's atmosphere?
Oxygen
Carbon Dioxide
Nitrogen
Hydrogen
Which of the following best describes the process of photosynthesis?

Conversion of light energy into chemical energy
Conversion of thermal energy into mechanical energy
Conversion of electrical energy into thermal energy
In an experiment, a student measures the temperature of a liquid over time and observes that it remains constant even though heat is being added. What is the most likely explanation?
