- Q1Which of the following has the largest population in the Indian River Lagoon ecosystem?sea grasscrabflounderegret120s
- Q2Which of the following statements MOST accurately describes the energy transfer between the levels of the food pyramid in the Indian River Lagoon?Energy travels up from the phytoplankton at the lowest level.Energy moves from the flounder to both the clam, worm, and egret.Energy is released into the environment only from the egret.Energy stays in the phytoplankton at the lowest level.120s
- Q3In the Indian River Lagoon ecosystem, many organisms compete with one another for food sources. Which organism in the food web competes with the egret for food?crabflounderclam wormheron120s
- Q4Felipe and Marsha were studying forces and decided to do an experiment. They placed four equally sized blocks made of different materials on an elevated plastic tray. The materials tested were a block of ice, a sponge block, a sandpaper block, and a plastic block. They watched each of the blocks move down the tray. Which of the following forces causes the blocks to move down the tray?gravityfrictionmagneticelectric120s
- Q5Felipe and Marsha were studying forces and decided to do an experiment. They placed four equally sized blocks made of different materials on an elevated plastic tray. The materials tested were a block of ice, a sponge block, a sandpaper block, and a plastic block. They watched each of the blocks move down the tray. Which block would experience the LEAST amount of friction as it moved down the tray?sandpaper blockice blocksponge blockplastic block120s
- Q6Felipe and Marsha were studying forces and decided to do an experiment. They placed four equally sized blocks made of different materials on an elevated plastic tray. The materials tested were a block of ice, a sponge block, a sandpaper block, and a plastic block. They watched each of the blocks move down the tray. Which of the following conclusions can Felipe and Marsha make about the forces that cause the blocks to move down the tray?The force of friction is the same on each block.The force of friction causes the speed of each block to increase.The force of gravity is greater than the force of friction on all the blocks.The force of gravity causes all the blocks to move at the same speed.120s
- Q7Delilah followed these steps of an investigation: 1. Collect five objects made of different types of metals. 2. Place them on a large laboratory table. 3. Touch each metal object with a magnet and lift slowly. 4. Record observations. Which of the following statements is Delilah MOST LIKELY testing?Each magnet can lift the metal object to the same height.All types of metal are attracted to magnets.Larger magnets can pick up heavier metal objects than smaller magnets can.Heavier metal objects re more attracted to magnets than lighter metal objects are.120s
- Q8Rashan is performing an investigation using several earthworms. He places a rectangular box under a bright lamp and covers 1/2 of the box so that it is shaded. Then, he puts the earth worms into the box on the side that is still brightly lit. Later, Rashan notices that all of the earthworms have crawled over to the shaded side of the box. Based on his investigation, which of the following is an observation and NOT a personal opinion?Earthworms are afraid of light.Earthworms like staying together.Earthworms like living in the ground.Earthworms move away from light.120s
- Q9Gabriel is designing an experiment to see whether sugar or artificial sweetener will attract eh greater number of ants. Which statement BEST describes why Gabriel should write down his experimental procedure?The data will show people which ants are more common.The experiment can be changed by others to get different results.The data will help people decide what type of sweetener to use.The exact experiment can be repeated by others and the results compared.120s
- Q10A star named Sirius appears as the brightest star in the nighttime sky, even though a star named Pollux actually gives off more light. Which of the following BEST explains why Sirius appears brighter than Pollux in our nighttime sky?Sirius has different gases than Pollux has.Sirius is larger than Pollux is.Sirius is closer to Earth than Pollux is.Sirius has a different color than Pollux has.120s
- Q11Jacob started creating a diagram to show some of the common characteristics of the planets in our solar system. Title: Common Characteristics of Planets. Category #1: Has Mass. Category #2: Rotates on an Axis. What characteristic should Jacob write for Category #3 of the diagram?Made Mostly of GasHas a Rocky SurfaceRevolves around a StarIs a Satellite of Another Planet120s
- Q12Keisha wants to show Amy what happens during one Earth day. Keisha holds a small globe representing Earth, and Amy holds a large ball representing the Sun. What should Keisha do to show Amy what happens during one Earth day?Keisha should slowly lift the globe above her head and then lower it.Keisha should move the globe in one complete circle around Amy.Keisha should slowly spin the globe one complete time about its axis.Keisha should move the globe toward Amy and then away from her.120s
- Q13Dennis cannot scratch a mineral sample with his fingernail, but he observes that he can scratch the mineral sample with a piece of metal. What physical property of the mineral sample is Dennis investigating?lustercleavagehardnessstreak120s
- Q14There are many different natural resources found in Florida. Which of the following can be described as a renewable resource?phosphatewateroillimestone120s
- Q15Earth has a great variety of surface features that are caused by weathering and erosion. Which of the following describes a change due only to weathering?ocean waves washing sand off the beachrivers carrying soil and rocks through valleystree roots breaking rocks into smaller pieces of rockwind blowing sand and pebbles off a sand dune120s
