1. QuestionMultiple choice

Which state of matter has a definite shape and definite volume?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: A

The correct answer is Solid.

  1. Identify the science idea: Read the observation, model, or data statement carefully and identify the science concept being tested.
  2. Use evidence: A solid keeps its own shape and volume unless a force changes it.
  3. Check the conclusion: Compare the choice with the evidence. The best answer is Solid.

A solid keeps its own shape and volume unless a force changes it.

2. QuestionMultiple choice

A student pours juice from a tall cup into a wide bowl. What changes?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: B

The correct answer is The liquid changes shape but keeps nearly the same amount..

  1. Identify the science idea: Read the observation, model, or data statement carefully and identify the science concept being tested.
  2. Use evidence: A liquid takes the shape of its container while keeping its volume.
  3. Check the conclusion: Compare the choice with the evidence. The best answer is The liquid changes shape but keeps nearly the same amount..

A liquid takes the shape of its container while keeping its volume.

3. QuestionMultiple choice

Which change is a physical change?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: C

The correct answer is Ice melting into water.

  1. Identify the science idea: Read the observation, model, or data statement carefully and identify the science concept being tested.
  2. Use evidence: Melting changes the state of water but does not create a new substance.
  3. Check the conclusion: Compare the choice with the evidence. The best answer is Ice melting into water.

Melting changes the state of water but does not create a new substance.

4. QuestionMultiple choice

What happens when a force pushes a toy car?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: D

The correct answer is The car may change its motion..

  1. Identify the science idea: Read the observation, model, or data statement carefully and identify the science concept being tested.

  3. Check the conclusion: Compare the choice with the evidence. The best answer is The car may change its motion..

A force can make an object start, stop, speed up, slow down, or change direction.

5. QuestionMultiple choice

Which surface would create the most friction for a rolling ball?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: A

The correct answer is Rough carpet.

  1. Identify the science idea: Read the observation, model, or data statement carefully and identify the science concept being tested.
  2. Use evidence: Rough surfaces usually create more friction and slow moving objects more.
  3. Check the conclusion: Compare the choice with the evidence. The best answer is Rough carpet.

Rough surfaces usually create more friction and slow moving objects more.

6. QuestionMultiple choice

A metal spoon becomes warm after sitting in hot soup. How did heat move through the spoon?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: B

The correct answer is By conduction.

  1. Identify the science idea: Read the observation, model, or data statement carefully and identify the science concept being tested.
  2. Use evidence: Conduction transfers heat through direct contact within a material.
  3. Check the conclusion: Compare the choice with the evidence. The best answer is By conduction.

Conduction transfers heat through direct contact within a material.

7. QuestionMultiple choice

Which object is most likely attracted to a magnet?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: C

The correct answer is An iron nail.

  1. Identify the science idea: Read the observation, model, or data statement carefully and identify the science concept being tested.
  2. Use evidence: Iron is a magnetic material, while wood, rubber, and paper are not attracted in the same way.
  3. Check the conclusion: Compare the choice with the evidence. The best answer is An iron nail.

Iron is a magnetic material, while wood, rubber, and paper are not attracted in the same way.

8. QuestionMultiple choice
