RI NGSA Science Grade 5 Practice Questions - Rhode Island Next Generation Science Assessment (NGSA), Grade 5 Exam - RI NGSA Science Grade 5 Practice Questions - Rhode Island Next Generation Science Assessment (NGSA), Grade 5 Exam

Question 1

A student places a green plant in a sealed glass container filled with rich soil and waters it daily, but pumps out all the air. After a week, the plant wilts and stops growing. What does this demonstrate about plant growth requirements?

Plants need soil minerals more than air. Plants require gases from the air in addition to water and light to grow. Plants can grow normally without air if given extra water. Plants only need air during nighttime hours.

Correct Answer:

Plants require gases from the air in addition to water and light to grow.

Question 2

Where do plants acquire most of the raw materials they need to gain mass and build stem and leaf structures?

Mainly from minerals absorbed from garden soil Mainly from carbon dioxide in air and water from soil Mainly from solid fertilizer added to the roots Mainly from heat particles radiating from the Sun

Correct Answer:

Mainly from carbon dioxide in air and water from soil

Question 3

A scientist grows lettuce plants in a hydroponic setup where roots sit in liquid water with dissolved nutrients, with zero soil present. The lettuce grows large and healthy. What claim does this evidence support?

Soil is not an essential requirement for plants as long as they receive air, water, nutrients, and light. Plants do not need water if they are grown in light. Hydroponic plants get all of their carbon mass from water molecules alone. Soil is the main provider of mass for terrestrial plants.

Correct Answer:

Soil is not an essential requirement for plants as long as they receive air, water, nutrients, and light.

Question 4

A student measures a pot containing 20 kilograms of dry soil and plants a 0.1-kilogram oak sapling. Five years later, the tree weighs 45 kilograms, but the dry soil mass decreased by less than 0.05 kilograms. How did the tree gain 44.9 kilograms of mass?

The tree converted sunlight energy directly into solid wood atoms. The tree absorbed carbon dioxide from the air and water from the soil to synthesize plant tissue. The soil regenerated its mass by converting root secretions back into dirt. The tree absorbed heavy minerals from rain without using air.

Correct Answer:

The tree absorbed carbon dioxide from the air and water from the soil to synthesize plant tissue.

Question 5

Which gas in the atmosphere is taken in by plant leaves and combined with water to make sugar molecules?

Oxygen Carbon dioxide Nitrogen Helium

Correct Answer:

Carbon dioxide
