Before beginning any science experiment, you should...
read the instructions carefully and ask questions if needed
complete any missing work or make up tests
wash your hands
use the restroom
30s5.1a - Q2
When is okay to run in the lab?
If you are in a hurry
Never, running will only lead to accidents in the lab
If there's a problem and you need to tell the teacher
If you need to go to the bathroom really bad
30s5.1a - Q3
It is safe to go to what areas during an outdoor investigation?
sidewalks
areas specified by the teacher
baseball fields
anywhere near school
30s5.1a - Q4
When will safety goggles help prevent injury?
if you spill liquids on your clothing
if you accidentally splash chemicals on your face
if you accidentally catch your shirt sleeve on fire
if you break an empty test tube
30s5.1a - Q5
Kenny has a mass of 13 (kilograms) kg and weight of 127.4 (Newtons) N on Earth. If Kenny were to travel to the moon, what would happen to his mass and weight?
Kenny's mass would remain 13 kg, but his weight would change (it would decrease because the gravity decreases on the moon)
Kenny's weight would remain 127.4 N, but his mass would change (it would decrease because the gravity decreases on the moon)
Kenny's weight would remain 127.4 N, but his mass would change (it would increase because the gravity increases on the moon)
Kenny's mass would remain 13 kg, but his weight would change (it would increase because the gravity increases on the moon)
30s5.4a - Q6
Why do a bowling ball and a beach ball have the same volume, but different mass?
They are made up of different materials. The amount of matter in the beach ball (mass) is greater than the bowling ball.
They don't have different masses, they just appear to because our mind plays a trick on us.
The mass is actually different depending on the location. For example, if the beach ball was on the moon, the mass would be lighter.
They are made up of different materials. The amount of matter in the bowling ball (mass) is greater than the beach ball.
120s5.4a - Q7
Which tool would you use to separate mixtures with materials of different sizes?
tongs
pan balance
sieve
collection net
120s5.4a - Q8
Which tool would be best used to measure humidity?
anemometer
rain gauge
hygrometer
barometer
120s5.4a - Q9
The following is a weather map showing high and low air pressure in the U.S. (along with other weather data). The high and low air pressure and represented by H & L. The high pressure, H, represents "happy" weather (clear, cool/mild). The low-pressure, L, represents "low" or sad weather (cloudy, rainy). What tool is used to take measurements on air pressure?
barometer
anemometer
wind gauge
hygrometer
120s5.4a - Q10
What is the tool below most commonly used to measure?
weight in Newtons (N)
volume, in grams (g)
mass, in milliliters (ml)
volume, in milliliters (ml)
120s5.4a - Q11
The image below shows an investigation. In the investigation, the student is using a spring scale to pull a 50g block across a desk. What is the investigation question? Hint: think about what is being measured.
How much mass is needed to pull a 50g block across a desk?
What is the mass in grams (g) of a block on a desk?
What is the volume of a 50g block as it is pulled across a desk?
What is the force in Newtons (N) needed to pull a 50g block across a desk?
120s5.4a - Q12
The image below shows a rock being measured. What tool is being used? What information is it measuring about the rock? And, how many grams is the rock?
Triple beam balance, measuring the mass, 17 g
Triple beam balance, measuring mass, 117 g
Pan balance, measuring the mass, 17 g
Triple beam balance, measuring weight, 17 g
120s5.4a - Q13
Which of the following tools is used to measure wind speed?
barometer
anemometer
wind vane
hygrometer

120s5.2a - Q15
In the following image, plants A, B, and C, are being investigated. The arrows point to the different variables in the investigation (control, dependent, and independent variables). What is the independent variable in this investigation and why?
The liquid being poured on the plants, because that is what is being changed and what is being studied.
The type of plant & type of pot, because that is what stays the same for A, B, & C.
The type of plant & type of pot, because that is what is being changed and what is being studied.
The height of the plant or plant growth, because that is the outcome or thing being effected by the changes.
