Which of the students' claims about the sand in the hourglass is correct?
Julia claims that the sand is a liquid substance, because when it flows from the top bulb into the bottom bulb, the volume remains fixed.
Anthony claims that the sand is a gas because the grains flow quickly, and do not create a fixed shape when they settle into the bottom bulb.
Chase claims that the sand is a solid substance, because the individual sand particles are solids that do not change shape as they flow into the bottom bulb.
Maria claims that the sand is a liquid substance, because when it flows into the bottom bulb, it settles to take the shape of the container.
What is the mass of the bowl of butter after it is taken out of the microwave?
100 grams

Based on the graph, which statement about the phase changes is correct?
The water was cooled from a solid to a liquid through the phase change of melting.
The water began as a liquid and cooled into a gas through the process of freezing.
The water began as a gas and heated to a liquid through the process of boiling.
The water began as a liquid, and heated to a gas through the process of boiling.
What is the correct scientific explanation for the droplets of water on the outside of Robbie's water bottle?
The liquid water molecules from inside the bottle have leaked out and collected on the outside of the bottle.
Water vapor molecules from the air touched the bottle, cooled, and condensed into liquid water droplets.
Liquid water molecules from the air touched the bottle, cooled, and condensed into solid water droplets.
Water vapor molecules from the air touched the bottle, heated up, and condensed into liquid water droplets.
What happens when yeast eats and digests sugar?

A Boy Scout troop is sitting around a campfire. They observe that after all of the wooden logs have burned, only a pile of ash remains. Which of their observations is correctly supported by a scientific explanation?
Ashes were produced because ashes are just small wood pieces created by the fire.
The wooden logs burned, but still have the same physical properties as the ash pile.
The pile of ashes produced by the burning logs was the result of a physical change.
Smoke and ash were produced when the wooden logs burned as a result of a chemical change.

A student performs an experiment. The students wants to study the fastest way to dissolve sugar in tea. The student uses 50 milliliters of tea and adds 50 grams of sugar cubes for each trial. The student waits two minutes before making the observations shown in the table.
How can the experiment be changed to be sure that as much sugar as possible has dissolved?
A. Use larger sugar cubes in the 40 degree Celsius tea.
B. Stir the tea constantly at all three temperatures.
C. Use less water at all three temperatures.
D. Use a larger cup to hold the 50 degree Celsius tea.
