For Question 3

2

Which of the following graphs accurately shows the data in this table above? (2 pts)

2

There will be the most rain at point ___ because ____. (2 pts)
  1. A; the air is warmer, causing the water vapor to condense
  2. B; the air is colder, so the water vapor will condense
  3. B; the molecules will move farther apart as they get warmer
  4. C; the air has gathered more moisture from the mountains

2

Which area -- A or C -- will have the most groundwater? Why? (2 pts)
  1. A, because there is more rain on that side of the mountain
  2. A, because it is hotter on that side of the mountain
  3. C, because there is more rain on that side of the mountain
  4. C, because it is hotter on that side of the mountain

For Question 6

2

Which model best represents what the molecules of water look like at location B? (2 pts)

2

Which direction will most runoff from precipitation occur? (2 pts)
  1. The runoff will move from position -A- to position -C-
  2. The runoff will move from position -B- to position -C-
  3. The runoff will move from position -A- to position -B-
  4. The runoff will move from position -B- to position -A-

2

Which of Wilfred’s observations shows that a chemical reaction has taken place? (2 pts)
  1. The candle is white and made of wax and a wick.
  2. The wax starts to melt.
  3. Black smoke is given off; hot gases are rising.
  4. Time passes one minute at a time

2

Why does this observation show a chemical reaction has taken place? (2 pts)
  1. It shows that the candle has changed from one state to another
  2. It shows that the candle did not change state
  3. It shows that a new substance was created
  4. It shows that no new substances were created

For Question 10

2

Which of the following models could show what happened to the molecules of the candle including the oxygen in the air during the chemical reaction? (2 pts)

2

The rain that falls on Nepal will continue moving through the water cycle. Which of the following steps could happen after the rain falls? Select all that apply. (2 pts)
  1. It could evaporate into water vapor
  2. It could condense into fog
  3. It could run-off into a stream or river
  4. It could soak into the groundwater
  5. It could precipitate

5

Why does Tibet receive less rainfall than Nepal? Include evidence from the map or the table to support your answer. (5 pts)

Claim: Why does Tibet receives less rainfall than Nepal? (1 points)
Sentence starter: Tibet receives less rainfall than Nepal because ______________________

Evidence: Give 2 pieces of evidence from the map and include water vapor to support your claim. (2 points)
Sentence starter: On the map, it shows ____________________
Sentence starter: On the map, it also shows ____________________

Reasoning: Explain why Tibet receives less rainfall than Nepal (what factors cause less rain in Tibet) (1 point)

Language: Use complete sentences, vocabulary, capitalization, punctuations, grammar (your sentences make sense). (1 point)

Science Word Bank ( You can use these words, you don't have to use all of them): wind, mountain, rain, condensation, water vapor

For Question 13

2

On a summer day, water particles from the ocean change phase as they move into the air. Which model best shows this change? Use the models above. (2 pts)

2

This is a picture of the substances in a chemical reaction before and after the reaction. (2 pts)


Using what you have learned about chemical reactions, choose the answer that best explains what happens to the weight of the substances after a chemical reaction occurs.

A. The weight of the substances have changed after a chemical reaction occurs, because they have gone through a physical change, which would change the weight of the substances.

B. The weight of the substances before and after a chemical reaction stay the same, because even though the substances may change form, the weight of each atom does not change.

C. The weight of the substances have changed, because the atoms of the substance have changed. The change in atoms will cause the weight of the substances to change after a chemical reaction.

D. The weight of the substances do not change, because they are still the same substances which went through a chemical reaction.

This is how your writing / paragraph will be scored for Question 15.

6
