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.

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.
