- Q1
Individuals and communities must work together to conserve Earth’s natural resources.Which two statements describe how Earth’s natural resources can be conserved?
Carpool with friends to school activities & convert food waste into garden soil with a compost bin
Build more landfills for trash & bury used motor oil in the ground
60s - Q2
The diagram shows part of an ocean food web. Data show that the sizes of krill populations in oceans around the world are decreasing. The populations are decreasing due to the effects of climate change and overfishing. A student wants to explain how penguin populations are affected by decreasing krill populations. Which two pathways show the most likely effects on penguin populations as krill populations decrease?
fewer krill➡fewer squid➡fewer penguins & fewer krill➡more plankton➡fewer penguins
fewer krill➡more seals➡ more penguins & fewer krill➡fewer seals➡fewer penguins
fewer krill➡fewer squid➡more penguins & fewer krill➡more plankton➡more penguins
60s - Q3
A train is moving west. The force of the engines is reduced by half. Which statement best describes how the motion of the train will change?
The train will continue to move west, and its kinetic energy will increase.
The train will continue to move west, and its kinetic energy will decrease.
The train will stop moving, and its potential energy will increase.
The train will begin moving east, and its potential energy will decrease.
60s - Q4
In some parts of the United States, snow and ice often make roads slippery and unsafe to travel on during the winter months. Which statement best describes a way to reduce the impact of slippery road conditions for vehicles traveling during the winter months?
Make sure drivers on the roads wear their safety belts.
Wait until the ice is thickest and have city trucks spray water on the roads to reduce friction.
Ask people to stay off the roads until all the snow and ice melts.
Use trucks that push snow away and drop sand on the roads to increase friction.
60s - Q5
Students observed three unknown solid materials. The students conducted three of their four planned investigations to identify the unknown materials. Based on the data collected, which statement best describes one of the unknown materials?
Unknown material 3 must be baking soda because it did not react with the vinegar.
Unknown material 1 must have the greatest mass because it is gray and black.
Unknown material 2 must be a compound because it is yellow.
Unknown material 1 must be a metal because it was attracted to the magnet.
60s - Q6
The drawing shows a boat design that a student made by folding a piece of paper. The student is asked to use the paper boat to transport a metal weight across a pool. The paper boat sinks when the weight is added. Which statement describes the best solution to this problem?
Make the boat out of a denser material.
Make a new boat with a wider bottom and taller sides.
Fold a new paper boat so that the middle is taller.
Use a different color paper to make the paper boat.
60s - Q7
A student uses the engineering design process to separate a mixture containing sand, iron filings, and water. A filter setup was constructed as shown below. The student’s notes show that the filter setup separated the mixture into two parts, solid and liquid. Which action is most likely the next step to follow in the engineering design process?
design another process to separate the remaining mixture
research the problem with a new mixture
retest the procedure using a new paper filter
communicate the results to other students
60s - Q8
A desert food web is shown. Which type of organism is missing and should be added to the food web?
predators
producers
decomposers
consumers
60s - Q9
Students are designing a solution to stop soil from washing away from a stream bank. Which step should the students most likely complete first?
brainstorm ideas
test different solutions
tell others the plan
research the issue
60s - Q10
Some plants can live in deeper parts of the ocean where less sunlight is able to reach. Sunlight contains a mixture of all light colors—red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet. These colors of light are important for plants to perform photosynthesis. Red, orange, and yellow light are unable to reach deep in the water. Which statement best explains how deep ocean plants perform photosynthesis?
Ocean animals move around and carry nutrients to the ocean bottom for plants to perform photosynthesis.
Deep ocean plants absorb blue and green light colors to perform photosynthesis.
Deep ocean plants move to the surface during the day to capture light and perform photosynthesis.
Ocean animals breathe out carbon dioxide that deep ocean plants use to perform photosynthesis.
