Students conduct an investigation to learn about the transfer of energy from one material to another. The drawing shows their investigation setup.
Select the two energy transfers that must occur for this investigation to work.
A student wants to investigate the energies of two identical marbles before and after they collide. The student plans to roll the marbles toward each other across a flat surface. Changes to which two characteristics of the marbles would best show that the energy of each marble changed during and after the collision?
A solar shower is a device that people use to take showers outside. The device includes a bag and a hose with a spout. Two solar showers are filled with water and placed outside in direct sunlight. A student records the time needed for the temperature of the water in the two solar showers to increase.
Students have been asked to use Morse code to send a short message to one another. Each pair of students will stand facing away from each other at a distance of 20 feet. Which method would work best for each pair of students to send a message using Morse code?
During the fall season, the belly of a male brook trout becomes bright orange. The orange belly provides some camouflage for the fish and helps attract females. Scientists have observed that males with pale-orange bellies do not attract as many females as males with bright-orange bellies.
How does the orange-belly trait most likely help brook trout?
The list describes actions that occur in the body when a person eats food.
Body Actions That Occur When a Person Eats Food
• Chewing begins to break down food in the mouth.
• Food moves into the stomach and then into the small intestine.
• Important nutrients leave the small intestine and enter the bloodstream
• The remaining materials move into the large intestine.
Which pair of body systems interact most in the processes described in the list?
A bat is observed in the night sky searching for food. The bat uses sound waves to help it find and catch flying insects.
The diagram shows fossils that have been found in different rock layers under a school playground.
The diagram below shows parts of a volcanic mountain.
Which claim is best supported by the information in the diagram?
The drawings below show the same rock at two different times.
Which set of information best identifies and describes the process shown in the drawings?
Some people live in high-risk areas for earthquakes. Complete the checklist to identify safe and unsafe practices in earthquake zones. Select one box in each row.
Safe | Unsafe | |
|---|---|---|
Place furniture away from large windows. | ||
Place all heavy objects on the top shelves. | ||
Secure bookcases and other tall furniture to the wall. | ||
Prepare an emergency kit with items like flashlights and water. |
Select the two tools the student should use to measure the speed of the energy change in this experimental design.
