Question 1

A student in St. Louis pumps air into a rubber balloon until it expands and becomes firm. Even though air cannot be seen inside the balloon, which statement best explains why the balloon expands?

Air is made of tiny particles that move around and push against the inside walls of the balloon. Air turns into a solid material when forced into a flexible rubber container. Air increases the weight of the balloon by absorbing heat from the room. Air creates a vacuum inside the balloon that pulls the rubber outward.

Correct Answer:

Air is made of tiny particles that move around and push against the inside walls of the balloon.

Question 2

Students in Kansas City test how heat moves through different materials. They place a wooden spoon, a plastic spoon, and a metal spoon into a bowl of hot soup. After two minutes, which spoon handle will feel the warmest to the touch?

The wooden spoon, because wood traps heat energy inside itself. The plastic spoon, because plastic creates its own thermal energy. All three spoons will feel equally warm because they are in the same bowl. The metal spoon, because metal is a good thermal conductor.

Correct Answer:

The metal spoon, because metal is a good thermal conductor.

Question 3

While visiting the Gateway Arch in St. Louis, a student drops a small rubber ball from a height of one meter. In which direction does Earth's gravitational force pull the falling ball?

Toward the closest large building or monument. In the direction that the wind is blowing. Horizontal toward the equator. Straight down toward the center of the Earth.

Correct Answer:

Straight down toward the center of the Earth.

Question 4

Farmers in Saline County, Missouri, grow corn crops that feed local beef cattle. Where did the original energy in the cattle's food come from?

From the soil nutrients that the cattle absorbed while walking in the field. From the Sun, which provided light energy for the corn plants to make food. From the farm equipment used to harvest and process the corn. From rainwater stored inside the corn kernels.

Correct Answer:

From the Sun, which provided light energy for the corn plants to make food.

Question 5

A student shines a flashlight onto four different objects: a sheet of clear glass, a sheet of aluminum foil, a piece of dark cardboard, and a clear plastic ruler. Which object reflects almost all the light back toward the student?

The clear glass, because light passes straight through transparent materials. The dark cardboard, because dark rough surfaces absorb and reflect all light equally. The clear plastic ruler, because plastic bends light into colorful rainbows. The aluminum foil, because it has a shiny, smooth metallic surface.

Correct Answer:

The aluminum foil, because it has a shiny, smooth metallic surface.
