How does a hot cup system cool down?

a)

heat energy is transferring out of the cup and into the cool air

b)

cold energy is transferring from the air into the cup

c)

heat is transfering out of the cup AND cold is transferring into the cup

d)

The cup will never cool down.

2.

When a system is warming up, energy is

a)

transferring into it

b)

transferring out of it

3.

Anything that has mass and takes up space

a)

weight

b)

matter

c)

energy

d)

system

4.

We tested two cup systems to determine the effectiveness of having a lid (one cup with a lid and one without). Which system did better at keeping the temperature the same and why?

a)

Both cup systems had the same results. A lid has no effect on maintaining the temperature inside a cup

b)

The open cup system did better at maintaining the temperature because it equalized the air temperature surrounding the cup.

c)

The closed cup system did better at maintaining the temperature because it prevented hot air from escaping.

5.

Sarah was visiting her friend, Regina. They were in Regina’s backyard, enjoying some ice-cold lemonade. They noticed that there were droplets on the outside of the pitcher of lemonade. The 2 friends made the following claims: Sarah said, “Those droplets must be lemonade leaking from inside the pitcher.” Regina said, “The droplets on the outside of the pitcher are water. They came from the air outside the pitcher. Who is correct?

a)

Sarah because lemonade is liquid and air is gas.

b)

Sarah because friends are always right.

c)

Regina because evaporation happens on the outside of the pitcher.

d)

Regina because condensation droplets form from the air around/outside a container.

6.

Which best describes a liquid?

a)

a state of matter that has no definite shape but has a definite volume and moves by sliding past each other

b)

a state of matter that has definite shape and volume and vibrates in place

c)

a state of matter that has no definite shape or volume and moves freely

d)

all of the above

7.

Which best describes a gas?

a)

a state of matter that has no definite shape but has a definite volume and moves by sliding past each other

b)

a state of matter that has definite shape and volume and vibrates in place

c)

a state of matter that has no definite shape or volume and moves freely

d)

all of the above

8.

Recently, we did a cold water test whee we tested the mass initially and then after 10 minutes. What evidence helped proved the water did not come from inside the cup?

a)

The system was a closed system.

b)

The mass of the cup system decreased.

c)

The mass of the cup system increased.

d)

The mass of the cup system kept changing.

9.

Why can't liquids move through solids?

a)

They don't contain enough food coloring.

b)

Solids have densely packed particles that move very little.

c)

They liquids must be hot enough to fit through the spaces between the particles of the solid.

d)

Liquids are not very smart and do not know how to open lids so the system stays a closed system.

10.

Which one of these containers represents an OPEN system (matter can get in and out)?

a)

b)

c)

11.

What does the blue particle that's up high in the circle represent?

a)

The blue circle up high represents a water molecule that has evaporated.

b)

The blue circle up high represents a molecule of air that is not water.

c)

The blue circle up high represents a water molecule that has turned to ice.

12.

When you leave your cold drink outside, the glass may have water drops on it the outside of the glass.  This is an example of...

a)
condensation
b)
evaporation
c)
precipitation
d)
estuary

a)

Container A

b)

Container B

c)

Container C
