A color change

c)

Freezing water

d)

Cutting paper

7.

The substances present before a chemical reaction are called:

a)

Products

b)

Catalysts

c)

Reactants

d)

Elements

8.

Which law states that mass is not created or destroyed in a reaction?

a)

Newton’s First Law

b)

Law of Inertia

c)

Law of Conservation of Mass

d)

Newton’s Second Law

9.

According to Newton’s First Law, an object in motion will:

a)

Stop immediately

b)

Slow down without force

c)

Keep moving unless acted on by a force

d)

Change direction automatically

10.

Which equation represents Newton’s Second Law?

a)

F = m + a

b)

F = ma

c)

a = mF

d)

m = Fa

11.

Explain the difference between an observation and an inference. Give one example of each.

a)

An observation is something you notice using your senses, while an inference is a conclusion you draw based on those observations. For example, seeing dark clouds is an observation; thinking it will rain is an inference.

b)

An observation is a guess about what will happen, while an inference is what you see directly. For example, predicting rain is an observation; seeing clouds is an inference.

c)

An observation is a conclusion based on evidence, while an inference is a random thought. For example, thinking it will rain is an observation; seeing clouds is an inference.

d)

An observation and an inference are the same thing. For example, seeing clouds and thinking it will rain are both observations.

12.

Choose one human organ system and name two organs in the system that work together.

a)

Digestive system: stomach and intestines

b)

Respiratory system: heart and lungs

c)

Nervous system: kidneys and bladder

d)

Circulatory system: liver and pancreas

13.

Negative feedback helps regulate body temperature on a hot day by responding to a stimulus and maintaining homeostasis. Which of the following best describes this process?

a)

The body detects increased temperature (stimulus), responds by sweating, and returns to homeostasis.

b)

The body ignores the temperature change and maintains its current state.

c)

The body increases its temperature further in response to the stimulus.

d)

The body responds to cold by shivering, maintaining homeostasis.

14.

Which of the following is a sign that a chemical reaction has occurred, along with a real-world example?

a)

Change in color, such as iron rusting

b)

Change in shape, such as cutting paper

c)

Increase in size, such as inflating a balloon

d)

Change in temperature, such as melting ice

15.

Explain why it is harder to push a full shopping cart than an empty one using Newton’s Second Law. Use the words force, mass, and acceleration.

a)

It is harder to push a full shopping cart because it has more mass, so it requires more force to achieve the same acceleration.

b)

It is harder to push a full shopping cart because it has less mass, so it requires less force to achieve the same acceleration.

c)

It is harder to push a full shopping cart because it has more mass, so it requires less force to achieve the same acceleration.

d)

It is harder to push a full shopping cart because it has less mass, so it requires more force to achieve the same acceleration.
