these items is composed of all the others?
A. Tissues
B. Organs
C. Cell structures
D. Organ systems
7. This cellular process converts light energy
from the sun into chemical energy that
organisms use for life functions.

carbon dioxide is given off.
B. Fermentation, in which sugar is broken
down and alcohol is given off.
C. Digestion, in which starch is broken down
into simple sugars.

Question 16
A meteorologist collects data on the weather
conditions at an airport. The diagram
shows a weather station model of the data
that he collected.
At the time these data were collected, flights
at the airport were delayed.
According to this information, which weather
condition caused the delay?
A. thick fog
B. heavy snow
C. freezing rain
D. strong winds
Properties of Some Substances – Use this chart for questions
17-18
A scientist measures out 15 mL each of baking soda,
salt, sugar, iron filings, and corn starch. She runs a
series of procedures and records her results in the
table below. The first column in the table indicates the
procedure. The remaining columns indicate her results
for each substance.
Question 17
According to the information in the table,
what comparison can the scientist make
about the densities of sugar and corn
starch?
A. Sugar is more dense than corn starch.
B. Corn starch is more dense than sugar.
C. Sugar and corn starch have the same
density.
D. Both sugar and cornstarch are more
dense than salt.
Question 18
The scientist observes the rust on the sample
of iron filings and dries the sample
thoroughly. The scientist weighs the entire
sample and finds that it has more mass than
the original 118 grams.
What explains this increase in mass?
A. The sample gained mass during drying.
B. The sample gained mass during a physical change.
C. The sample gained mass during a change of state.
D. The sample gained mass during a chemical change.
Question 19
What two changes does sugar undergo
when heated in a spoon over a flame?
A. two physical changes
B. two chemical changes
C. a chemical change and then a physical
change
D. a physical change and then a chemical
change
Question 20
The moon orbits the Earth about
every
A. 28 days
B. 31 days
C. 24 days
D. 60 days
Use the water cycle diagram to
answer questions 21-22
Question 21
What evidence suggests that water goes through
a physical change when it evaporates in the water
cycle?
A. The density of the water remains the same.
B. The volume of the water remains the same.
C. The physical properties of the water remain the
same.
D. The chemical properties of the
water remain the same.
Question 22
The diagram includes an ocean in the water
cycle. How does salt water from the ocean
end up as fresh water in precipitation?
A. Runoff leaves salt in the soil.
B. Precipitation leaves salt in the clouds.
C. Evaporation leaves salt in the ocean.
D. Condensation leaves salt in the water
vapor.
Question 23
What is the primary energy source that
drives Earth’s water cycle between the
atmosphere, oceans and land?
A. wind
B. sunlight
C. ocean currents
D. rotation of Earth
Question 24
Water gains energy during evaporation.
During what process in the water cycle is
this energy released?
A. percolation through soil
B. transpiration from plants
C. runoff into the lake and ocean
D. condensation that forms clouds
Question 25

A. 0-6
B. 8-14
C. 7
D. 15 and above
Question 26
Questions 27-28
Baking Soda and Vinegar Reaction
Students perform a chemistry experiment
by mixing baking soda with vinegar. They
mix
4 grams of baking soda with 50 grams of
vinegar in a 6-gram plastic cup as shown
below.
The cup is left uncovered. The students
record the mass and temperature of the
mixture
every 5 seconds. They continue these
observations until 10 seconds after they
see the
mixture stop bubbling. Their data are
shown in the table below.
