1. QuestionMultiple choice

Which observation describes a physical property of a material?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: A

The correct answer is It is shiny.

  1. Identify the information: Read the passage, number, model, or data carefully.
  2. Apply the strategy: Shininess can be observed without changing the material into a new substance.
  3. Check the result: Make sure the answer is supported by the information in the question.

Shininess can be observed without changing the material into a new substance.

2. QuestionMultiple choice

A book stays on a table because the table pushes upward while gravity pulls downward. What is this an example of?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: B

The correct answer is Balanced forces.

  1. Identify the information: Read the passage, number, model, or data carefully.
  2. Apply the strategy: Opposite forces of equal size keep the book from accelerating through the table.
  3. Check the result: Make sure the answer is supported by the information in the question.

Opposite forces of equal size keep the book from accelerating through the table.

3. QuestionMultiple choice

Which energy source is renewable?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: C

The correct answer is Sunlight.

  1. Identify the information: Read the passage, number, model, or data carefully.
  2. Apply the strategy: Sunlight is continually supplied by the Sun, while fossil fuels are limited resources.
  3. Check the result: Make sure the answer is supported by the information in the question.

Sunlight is continually supplied by the Sun, while fossil fuels are limited resources.

4. QuestionMultiple choice

What role do producers play in an ecosystem?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: D

The correct answer is They make food using an energy source such as sunlight.

  1. Identify the information: Read the passage, number, model, or data carefully.
  2. Apply the strategy: Plants and algae are producers because they make organic food and support energy flow through food webs.
  3. Check the result: Make sure the answer is supported by the information in the question.

Plants and algae are producers because they make organic food and support energy flow through food webs.

5. QuestionMultiple choice

What process adds water vapor to the atmosphere when liquid water gains energy?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: A

The correct answer is Evaporation.

  1. Identify the information: Read the passage, number, model, or data carefully.
  2. Apply the strategy: Evaporation changes liquid water into water vapor.
  3. Check the result: Make sure the answer is supported by the information in the question.

Evaporation changes liquid water into water vapor.

6. QuestionMultiple choice

Which process can wear away rock and soil from a hillside?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: B

The correct answer is Erosion.

  1. Identify the information: Read the passage, number, model, or data carefully.
  2. Apply the strategy: Moving water, wind, ice, or gravity can transport weathered material through erosion.
  3. Check the result: Make sure the answer is supported by the information in the question.

Moving water, wind, ice, or gravity can transport weathered material through erosion.

7. QuestionMultiple choice

A student changes the amount of fertilizer and measures plant height. What is the dependent variable?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: C

The correct answer is Plant height.

  1. Identify the information: Read the passage, number, model, or data carefully.
  2. Apply the strategy: Plant height is the measured response to the changed fertilizer amount.
  3. Check the result: Make sure the answer is supported by the information in the question.

Plant height is the measured response to the changed fertilizer amount.

8. QuestionMultiple choice

Why do scientists use models?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: D

The correct answer is Models help represent systems or processes that may be difficult to observe directly.

  1. Identify the information: Read the passage, number, model, or data carefully.
  2. Apply the strategy: Models simplify and represent important features of systems so they can be studied and discussed.
  3. Check the result: Make sure the answer is supported by the information in the question.

Models simplify and represent important features of systems so they can be studied and discussed.

9. QuestionMultiple choice

Which adaptation helps a cactus survive in a dry environment?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: A

The correct answer is A waxy surface that reduces water loss.

  1. Identify the information: Read the passage, number, model, or data carefully.
  2. Apply the strategy: A waxy surface helps reduce evaporation from the plant in a dry environment.
  3. Check the result: Make sure the answer is supported by the information in the question.

A waxy surface helps reduce evaporation from the plant in a dry environment.

10. QuestionMultiple choice

An engineer tests three bridge designs by adding weights until each fails. What is being measured?
