Max was playing outside and heard a high-pitched cat meow. The cat was stuck in a tree and was trying to get Max’s attention. How did the sound of the cat alert Max?
The cat’s vocal cords vibrated fast creating a high-pitched meow.
The cat’s vocal cords vibrated slow creating a high-pitched meow.
The cat’s vocal cords must be long creating a high-pitched sound.
The cat’s vocal cords did not help produce the high-pitched sound.
Raul set up the investigation to collect data. What natural occurrence is Raul modeling?
Raul is modeling weathering when the soil is moving, and erosion when the soil breaks apart.
Raul is modeling weathering when adding water to represent rain and erosion when the soil breaks apart.
Raul is modeling weathering when adding water to represent rain and erosion when the soil, grass, and gravel move down the ramp.
Raul is modeling weathering when he added grass and gravel to two of the ramps, and erosion when adding water to represent rain.
Raul then added notes based on his observations. Which one of Raul’s notes would be an inference?
A. “When I poured water on the top of ramps the soil on Ramp A moved more than the soil and gravel mixture on Ramp C.”
B. “If I added bigger gravel the soil would not move down the ramp in Model B.”
C. “When I poured water on the top of the ramp in Model C, the grass clumped together in a pile, stopping some soil from moving to the bottom of the ramp.”
D. “In model A and B all of the soil moved down the ramp.”
Raul created this investigation to model a natural occurrence. What type of information does Raul’s model provide?
Raul created a computer model to simulate how the Earth changes.
Raul created a 2D model to collect data on how soil, gravel, and grass affect the changing of the Earth’s surface.
Raul created an explanation so that Harriet and Jackson could picture the model in their mind.
Raul created a 3D model to collect data on how soil, gravel and grass affect the changing of the Earth’s surface.
Teresa placed ice cubes in warm Kool-Aid. The Kool-Aid’s temperature decreased. What statement explains why the Kool-Aid’s temperature decreased?
Cold flows from the Kool-Aid to the ice.
Cold flows from the ice to the Kool-Aid.
Heat flows from the Kool-Aid to the ice.
Heat flows from the ice to the Kool-Aid.
Wyatt and Jim are cleaning up their toys. They spilled the whole toy box on the floor. Wyatt suggested they use a magnet to help move the toys from the floor to the toy box. Jim disagreed and said a magnet would not help. Which statement explains whether Wyatt or Jim is correct?
Wyatt: The magnet will attract and pick up all the objects made of metal.
Wyatt: The magnet will attract and pick up the steel model airplanes and iron bracelets at least.
Jim: The magnet will not attract or pick up any of the toys.
Jim: The magnet will attract the aluminum toys but leave all the other toys on the floor.
Annie marked the starting and ending line of a solar car race and measured the distance from the starting line to the ending line. What else does Annie need to know to identify the speed of the solar cars during the race?
Annie needs to know the mass of the solar race cars.
Annie needs to know the position of the solar race cars along the track.
Annie needs to know the time it takes for the solar race cars to travel the distance.
Annie needs to know the texture and volume of the solar race cars.

Some animals go through metamorphosis. Laura was comparing a grasshopper and fly. Laura explained to Jayla that the animals each go through different stages. How do the life cycles compare?
Both animals go through the nymph stage.
The grasshopper goes through an incomplete metamorphosis and the fly goes through a complete metamorphosis.
The grasshopper goes through a larva and pupa stage.
The fly goes through egg, nymph, adult stage.
Animals change to survive in the environment. Duane and Gary were studying animals in the desert environment. Which inherited characteristic of camels has NOT been affected by the environment?
A. Camels rarely sweat, even in hot temperatures, so they can conserve their fluids for long periods of time.
B. Camels have broad, flat, leathery feet to spread their weight and provide protection from the hot sand.
C. Camels are pack animals that travel together through a desert environment.
D. Camels have two rows of eyelashes to protect themselves from the sand.
Arlie and Misty draw a diagram to show the motion of the cars during the race. What should Arlie and Misty draw and label in their diagram to show the motion of the cars?
The position of the cars throughout the race.
The direction of the cars throughout the race.
The position and direction of the cars throughout the race.
The position of the car with the solar panel at 60º throughout the race.
Katelyn and Martin wanted to replicate the experiment, however it was cloudy out. Their teacher told them to use another source of renewable energy. What source of energy could power their cars?
Silicon is a renewable resource that could power their cars.
Phosphate is a renewable resource that could power their cars.
Wind is a renewable resource that could power their cars.
Phosphate is a non-renewable resource that could power their cars.
To answer this question, refer to the “Renewable Energy Racers” passage, and chart. 18. Arlie and Misty share their data with the class. What is one explanation they could share based on the evidence of their data?
Solar panels do not work to create change or cause energy of motion.
The solar panel at 60º, should have allowed the car to travel a greater distance.
The solar panel at 45º allowed the car to travel a longer distance than the panel at 30º or 60º.
The solar panel at 30º continued to slip off the car causing invalid data.
Arlie and Misty conducted the Renewable Energy Racers experiment. What was the testable question they were collecting data on?
What effect does the type of energy have on the distance the car travels?
What effect does the angle of the solar panel have on the speed of the car?
What effect does the type of solar panel have on the motion of the car?
What effect does the angle of the solar panel have on the distance the car travels?
Where does the frog get its energy in this ecosystem?
A frog is a producer, it gets energy from the Sun.
A frog is a consumer, it gets energy from eating insects.
A frog is an herbivore, it gets its energy from eating insects.
A frog is a carnivore, it gets its energy from eating plants and grass.
