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

2

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.

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.

Use the information in this box to answer questions 15 & 16:

On a spring day, in Worcester, Massachusetts, a local river has flooded. A student asks their science teacher what caused the river to flood. The teacher explains that the flooding is a result of seasonal weather and the water cycle.

The table shows seasonal climate data for Worcester, Massachusetts.

Use the data table to answer the question.


Criteria For Success:

Claim:
Think about where the groundwater comes from.
Write: Identify what season has the least groundwater.
Evidence: Use evidence from the data table to support your claim.

Reasoning:
Identify where groundwater comes from
Explain why there would be less ground water during that season.
Science Word Bank (You can use these words, you don't have to use all of them):  groundwater, data table, precipitation, temperature

6

Identify the season when you would see the least amount of groundwater (liquid) in Worcester. Explain why this season has the least amount of groundwater. Include data from the seasonal climate table to support your answer. (6 pts)

Sentence starters:
The season that would have the least amount of groundwater is . In the seasonal climate data table, it shows . The season will have the least amount of groundwater because .

Use the data table to answer the question.


Criteria For Success:

Claim:
Think about which phase change moves from Earth’s surface into the atmosphere.
Write: Identify what season has the greatest amount of water moving from Earth’s surface into the atmosphere
Evidence: Use evidence from the data table to support your claim.

Reasoning: Identify and explain the phase change and temperature of water moving from Earth’s surface into the atmosphere

7

Identify the season when the greatest amount of water moves from Earth’s surface into the atmosphere in Worcester. Explain why this season has the greatest amount of water moving into the atmosphere. Include data from the seasonal climate table and describe the role of energy to support your answer. (7 pts)

Sentence starters:
The season that will have the most water vapor moving into the atmosphere is . In the seasonal climate data table, it shows . season will have the most water vapor moving into the atmosphere because .
