  • Grammar, punctuation, transitions, sentence revision, organization, and relevant evidence
  • Fractions, decimals, multiplication, equations, percentages, patterns, and numerical reasoning
  • Area, volume, probability, statistics, scale, equivalent fractions, angles, and linear relationships
  • Variables, evidence, energy, food chains, water cycle, adaptations, mixtures, and engineering design

How to use this page

Complete one 10-question set at a time. Students should explain why an answer is supported by the passage, data, equation, or scientific model. Open each solution after responding to review the reasoning instead of only checking the answer letter.

This is supplemental State Test Practice, State Assessment Practice, and Standardized Test Practice. It does not replace current Alabama State Department of Education guidance, official blueprints, accommodations, or testing schedules.

Correct answer: B

The correct answer is The temperature increased from 18°C to 24°C..

  1. Identify the evidence or operation: Read the passage, data, equation, or scientific situation and identify exactly what must be determined.
  2. Apply the strategy: Quantitative evidence includes a measured number and unit, such as degrees Celsius.
  3. Check the result: Compare the result with the choices. The correct choice is The temperature increased from 18°C to 24°C..

Quantitative evidence includes a measured number and unit, such as degrees Celsius.

3. QuestionMultiple choice

When a flashlight shines on a solar panel, which energy transformation occurs?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: C

The correct answer is Light energy changes into electrical energy..

  1. Identify the evidence or operation: Read the passage, data, equation, or scientific situation and identify exactly what must be determined.

  3. Check the result: Compare the result with the choices. The correct choice is Light energy changes into electrical energy..

A solar panel converts incoming light energy into electrical energy.

4. QuestionMultiple choice

In a food chain, grass is eaten by a rabbit and the rabbit is eaten by a hawk. What role does the grass have?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: D

The correct answer is Producer.

  1. Identify the evidence or operation: Read the passage, data, equation, or scientific situation and identify exactly what must be determined.
  2. Apply the strategy: Grass makes its own food through photosynthesis, so it is a producer.
  3. Check the result: Compare the result with the choices. The correct choice is Producer.

Grass makes its own food through photosynthesis, so it is a producer.

5. QuestionMultiple choice

Water vapor cools and changes into tiny liquid droplets that form clouds. Which process is described?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: A

The correct answer is Condensation.

  1. Identify the evidence or operation: Read the passage, data, equation, or scientific situation and identify exactly what must be determined.
  2. Apply the strategy: Condensation occurs when water vapor loses energy and becomes liquid droplets.
  3. Check the result: Compare the result with the choices. The correct choice is Condensation.

Condensation occurs when water vapor loses energy and becomes liquid droplets.

6. QuestionMultiple choice

Which adaptation would best help a desert plant reduce water loss?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: B

The correct answer is A waxy coating on its leaves.

  1. Identify the evidence or operation: Read the passage, data, equation, or scientific situation and identify exactly what must be determined.
  2. Apply the strategy: A waxy coating reduces evaporation from the plant surface.
  3. Check the result: Compare the result with the choices. The correct choice is A waxy coating on its leaves.

A waxy coating reduces evaporation from the plant surface.

7. QuestionMultiple choice

A metal spoon becomes warm after sitting in hot soup. What type of heat transfer moves energy through the spoon?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: C

The correct answer is Conduction.

  1. Identify the evidence or operation: Read the passage, data, equation, or scientific situation and identify exactly what must be determined.
  2. Apply the strategy: Conduction transfers thermal energy through direct contact between particles in the metal.
  3. Check the result: Compare the result with the choices. The correct choice is Conduction.

Conduction transfers thermal energy through direct contact between particles in the metal.

8. QuestionMultiple choice

A student mixes sand and iron filings. Which method would best separate the mixture?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: D

The correct answer is Use a magnet to attract the iron filings..

  1. Identify the evidence or operation: Read the passage, data, equation, or scientific situation and identify exactly what must be determined.
  2. Apply the strategy: Iron is attracted to a magnet, while sand is not, so magnetic separation works.
  3. Check the result: Compare the result with the choices. The correct choice is Use a magnet to attract the iron filings..

Iron is attracted to a magnet, while sand is not, so magnetic separation works.

9. QuestionMultiple choice

A design team tests a bridge model and records that it bends under a small load. What should the team do next?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: A

The correct answer is Use the evidence to revise the design and test it again..

  1. Identify the evidence or operation: Read the passage, data, equation, or scientific situation and identify exactly what must be determined.
  2. Apply the strategy: Engineering design is iterative: teams use test evidence to improve a solution and retest it.
  3. Check the result: Compare the result with the choices. The correct choice is Use the evidence to revise the design and test it again..

Engineering design is iterative: teams use test evidence to improve a solution and retest it.

10. QuestionMultiple choice
