Question 1

A student puts a drop of food coloring into a cup of water. The coloring slowly spreads through the water until the water is evenly colored. Which statement best explains why the coloring spreads?

The water is made of tiny particles that are always moving and mix with the coloring particles. The food coloring is heavier than the water and sinks to the bottom of the cup. The cup causes the water to push the coloring in all directions at the same time. The food coloring changes into water when it is added to the cup.

Correct Answer:

The water is made of tiny particles that are always moving and mix with the coloring particles.

Question 2

A balloon is filled with air. When the balloon is squeezed, the air inside moves to the unfilled part of the balloon and the balloon changes shape. Which conclusion does this observation support?

Air is made of particles that can move and are not packed tightly together. Air is a solid that can be bent into any shape without changing. Air has no mass and cannot be measured in any way. The balloon creates new air particles when it expands.

Correct Answer:

Air is made of particles that can move and are not packed tightly together.

Question 3

A teacher places a solid sugar cube at the bottom of a beaker of water without stirring. After several hours the sugar cube is gone and the water tastes sweet throughout. Which statement best describes what happened?

The sugar particles separated and spread evenly among the water particles. The sugar cube dissolved because the water pushed it to the top of the beaker. The sugar particles were destroyed when they touched the water. The water particles changed into sugar particles over time.

Correct Answer:

The sugar particles separated and spread evenly among the water particles.

Question 4

A student weighs a sealed container with ice inside. After the ice melts, the student weighs the sealed container again. What should the student expect?

The mass stays the same because no matter entered or left the container. The mass decreases because ice turns into lighter water when it melts. The mass increases because liquid water is heavier than ice. The mass changes only if the container was shaken during the experiment.

Correct Answer:

The mass stays the same because no matter entered or left the container.

Question 5

A closed glass jar contains a burning candle. The jar is sealed so nothing can get in or out. Which statement is true about the total mass of the jar and everything inside it before and after the candle burns?

The total mass stays the same because the jar is closed and no matter enters or leaves. The total mass decreases because the candle is being used up as it burns. The total mass increases because heat is added to the jar by the flame. The total mass first increases then decreases as the candle shrinks down.

Correct Answer:

The total mass stays the same because the jar is closed and no matter enters or leaves.
