1. QuestionMultiple choice

What happens to particles when a solid is heated enough to melt?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: A

The correct answer is They gain energy and move more freely..

  1. Identify the science idea: Read the situation, model, or data carefully and identify the science concept being tested.
  2. Use evidence: Heating increases particle motion, allowing a solid structure to change into a liquid.
  3. Check the conclusion: Compare the answer with the evidence and confirm that the explanation matches the question.

Heating increases particle motion, allowing a solid structure to change into a liquid.

2. QuestionMultiple choice

Which statement describes conservation of mass in a closed chemical reaction?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: B

The correct answer is The total mass of reactants equals the total mass of products..

  1. Identify the science idea: Read the situation, model, or data carefully and identify the science concept being tested.
  2. Use evidence: In a closed system, atoms are rearranged but not created or destroyed.
  3. Check the conclusion: Compare the answer with the evidence and confirm that the explanation matches the question.

In a closed system, atoms are rearranged but not created or destroyed.

3. QuestionMultiple choice

Which observation is evidence of a chemical reaction?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: C

The correct answer is A gas forms when two substances are mixed..

  1. Identify the science idea: Read the situation, model, or data carefully and identify the science concept being tested.
  2. Use evidence: Unexpected gas formation can indicate that a new substance formed.
  3. Check the conclusion: Compare the answer with the evidence and confirm that the explanation matches the question.

Unexpected gas formation can indicate that a new substance formed.

4. QuestionMultiple choice

What is kinetic energy?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: D

The correct answer is Energy of motion.

  1. Identify the science idea: Read the situation, model, or data carefully and identify the science concept being tested.
  2. Use evidence: Kinetic energy is the energy an object has because it is moving.
  3. Check the conclusion: Compare the answer with the evidence and confirm that the explanation matches the question.

Kinetic energy is the energy an object has because it is moving.

5. QuestionMultiple choice

Which change would increase the gravitational potential energy of an object?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: A

The correct answer is Moving it to a higher position.

  1. Identify the science idea: Read the situation, model, or data carefully and identify the science concept being tested.
  2. Use evidence: Gravitational potential energy increases with height above a reference point.
  3. Check the conclusion: Compare the answer with the evidence and confirm that the explanation matches the question.

Gravitational potential energy increases with height above a reference point.

6. QuestionMultiple choice

What happens when unbalanced forces act on an object?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: B

The correct answer is The object motion can change..

  1. Identify the science idea: Read the situation, model, or data carefully and identify the science concept being tested.
  2. Use evidence: Unbalanced forces can cause an object to speed up, slow down, or change direction.
  3. Check the conclusion: Compare the answer with the evidence and confirm that the explanation matches the question.

Unbalanced forces can cause an object to speed up, slow down, or change direction.

7. QuestionMultiple choice

Two students push a box in opposite directions with equal force. What is the net force?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: C

The correct answer is Zero force.

  1. Identify the science idea: Read the situation, model, or data carefully and identify the science concept being tested.
  2. Use evidence: Equal opposite forces cancel, creating a net force of zero.
  3. Check the conclusion: Compare the answer with the evidence and confirm that the explanation matches the question.

Equal opposite forces cancel, creating a net force of zero.

8. QuestionMultiple choice

Which example shows energy changing from electrical energy to light energy?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: D

The correct answer is A lamp turning on.

  1. Identify the science idea: Read the situation, model, or data carefully and identify the science concept being tested.
  2. Use evidence: A lamp converts electrical energy into light and also some thermal energy.
  3. Check the conclusion: Compare the answer with the evidence and confirm that the explanation matches the question.
