1. QuestionMultiple choice

Which property describes the amount of matter in an object?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: A

The correct answer is Mass.

  1. Identify the science idea: Read the situation, model, or data carefully and identify the science concept being tested.
  2. Use evidence: Mass is the amount of matter in an object.
  3. Check the conclusion: Compare the answer with the evidence and confirm that the explanation matches the question.

Mass is the amount of matter in an object.

2. QuestionMultiple choice

Which is an example of a physical change?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: B

The correct answer is Ice melting.

  1. Identify the science idea: Read the situation, model, or data 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 answer with the evidence and confirm that the explanation matches the question.

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

3. QuestionMultiple choice

Which is an example of a chemical change?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: C

The correct answer is Iron rusting.

  1. Identify the science idea: Read the situation, model, or data carefully and identify the science concept being tested.
  2. Use evidence: Rusting creates new substances when iron reacts with oxygen and water.
  3. Check the conclusion: Compare the answer with the evidence and confirm that the explanation matches the question.

Rusting creates new substances when iron reacts with oxygen and water.

4. QuestionMultiple choice

Which object has the greatest density if each object has the same volume?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: D

The correct answer is The object with the greatest mass.

  1. Identify the science idea: Read the situation, model, or data carefully and identify the science concept being tested.
  2. Use evidence: Density compares mass to volume. With equal volumes, greater mass means greater density.
  3. Check the conclusion: Compare the answer with the evidence and confirm that the explanation matches the question.

Density compares mass to volume. With equal volumes, greater mass means greater density.

5. QuestionMultiple choice

What is a force?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: A

The correct answer is A push or a pull.

  1. Identify the science idea: Read the situation, model, or data carefully and identify the science concept being tested.
  2. Use evidence: A force is a push or pull that can change motion or shape.
  3. Check the conclusion: Compare the answer with the evidence and confirm that the explanation matches the question.

A force is a push or pull that can change motion or shape.

6. QuestionMultiple choice

What force pulls objects toward Earth?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: B

The correct answer is Gravity.

  1. Identify the science idea: Read the situation, model, or data carefully and identify the science concept being tested.
  2. Use evidence: Gravity is the attractive force between masses and pulls objects toward Earth.
  3. Check the conclusion: Compare the answer with the evidence and confirm that the explanation matches the question.

Gravity is the attractive force between masses and pulls objects toward Earth.

7. QuestionMultiple choice

When a warm spoon touches a cool bowl, which direction does thermal energy move?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: C

The correct answer is From the warmer spoon toward the cooler bowl.

  1. Identify the science idea: Read the situation, model, or data carefully and identify the science concept being tested.
  2. Use evidence: Thermal energy transfers from a warmer object to a cooler object until temperatures become closer.
  3. Check the conclusion: Compare the answer with the evidence and confirm that the explanation matches the question.

Thermal energy transfers from a warmer object to a cooler object until temperatures become closer.

8. QuestionMultiple choice

Which material is generally a good conductor of electrical energy?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: D

The correct answer is Copper.

  1. Identify the science idea: Read the situation, model, or data carefully and identify the science concept being tested.
  2. Use evidence: Copper allows electric charges to move easily and is commonly used in wires.
  3. Check the conclusion: Compare the answer with the evidence and confirm that the explanation matches the question.

Copper allows electric charges to move easily and is commonly used in wires.
