KSA Science Grade 4 Practice Questions - Kentucky Summative Assessment Science - Grade 4 Exam - KSA Science Grade 4 Practice Questions - Kentucky Summative Assessment Science

Question 1

A student rolls a toy car down a short wooden ramp and then down a steeper wooden ramp. What happens to the car's speed and kinetic energy when it rolls down the steeper ramp?

The car moves faster and has more kinetic energy. The car moves slower and has more kinetic energy. The car moves faster but has less kinetic energy. The car's speed and kinetic energy remain unchanged.

Correct Answer:

The car moves faster and has more kinetic energy.

Question 2

A heavy bowling ball and a light tennis ball are both rolling across a gym floor at the exact same speed. Which statement correctly compares their kinetic energy?

The bowling ball has more kinetic energy because it has greater mass. The tennis ball has more kinetic energy because it is smaller. Both balls have the same kinetic energy because they move at the same speed. Neither ball has kinetic energy while rolling across a flat floor.

Correct Answer:

The bowling ball has more kinetic energy because it has greater mass.

Question 3

A metal spoon at room temperature is placed into a bowl of hot vegetable soup. What energy transfer occurs over time?

Thermal energy transfers from the hot soup into the metal spoon. Thermal energy transfers from the metal spoon into the hot soup. Cold energy transfers from the spoon into the hot soup. Light energy transfers from the soup into the spoon.

Correct Answer:

Thermal energy transfers from the hot soup into the metal spoon.

Question 4

When a student strikes a drum, the drumhead vibrates rapidly. How does sound energy travel from the drum to a listener's ear across the room?

The drumhead vibrates air particles, passing sound energy outward as waves. Air particles travel in a straight line from the drum directly into the listener's ear. Electrical currents flow through the air from the drum to the ear. Heat rays carry the sound vibrations through empty space.

Correct Answer:

The drumhead vibrates air particles, passing sound energy outward as waves.

Question 5

A glass marble rolling along a track hits a stationary plastic marble. What happens during this collision?

Energy is transferred from the moving glass marble to the stationary plastic marble. Energy is created out of nothing at the point of contact. Both marbles immediately lose all of their energy and stay completely still. The plastic marble transfers speed to the glass marble before they touch.

Correct Answer:

Energy is transferred from the moving glass marble to the stationary plastic marble.
