The Amazon rainforest is divided into layers. There is a very dense canopy of trees and heavy rainfall that make it difficult for the sunlight to reach the plants on the forest floor. Which adaptation would NOT be one that would help plants on the forest floor survive with less sunlight?

carnivorous plants that eat insects

To answer this question, refer to the “Water Cycle Model” passage and charts. Which of the following statements best explains why Siana and Jamal observed drops of water forming inside the cup?

The warm water evaporated and condensed on the lid and walls inside the cup.

The water from the melted ice leaked through the plastic wrap and condensed on the lid and walls inside the cup.

The heat from the air caused the water to boil and condense on the lid and walls inside the cup.

The warm water melted and condensed on the lid and walls inside the cup

To answer this question, refer to the “Water Cycle Model” passage and charts. The teacher asked Jamal and Siana to explain the states of water they observed in the model and describe the properties of the water in each state. Which statement should Jamal and Siana use to explain their observation?

The water inside the cup is liquid because it changed shape when poured from the graduated cylinder into the cup. The water on top of the cup is solid because it kept its shape when removed from the freezer.

The water inside the cup is liquid because it changed shape when poured from the graduated cylinder into the cup. The water on top of the cup is gas because it kept its shape when removed from the freezer.

The water inside the cup is solid because it changed shape when poured from the graduated cylinder into the cup. The water on top of the cup is liquid because it kept its shape when removed from the freezer.

The water inside the cup is gas because it changed shape when poured from the graduated cylinder into the cup. The water on top of the cup is liquid because it kept its shape when removed from the freezer.

To answer this question, refer to the “Water Cycle Model” passage and charts. Jamal and Siana continued observing their water cycle model for 5 days. After recording all their observations and analyzing their data, they concluded that the ice was an important part of modeling the water cycle. Which observation from their week of investigating would support this conclusion?

There are more water droplets at the top of the lid 10 minutes after the ice is added.

The mass of the cup is the same on the last day as it was on the first day.

The water that condenses on the plastic lid is clear, not blue like the water in the bottom of the cup.

Small drops of water hang from the lid. When a drop of water gets too big, it falls from the lid back into the water at the bottom of the cup.

To answer this question, refer to the “Water Cycle Model” passage and charts. On one of the days of the investigation, Jamal and Siana had extra ice sitting on a paper towel next to the model. They warmed the water and then placed one ice cube on the top of the cup. After recording their observations about the model, they also observed that the ice on top of the model melted faster than the ice on the paper towel. How can Jamal and Siana explain why the ice on the top of the model melted more quickly?

The heat from the warm water flowed into the less warm air and ice cube, melting the ice more quickly.

The cold from the ice cube flowed into the cup and water. Since there was more space in the cup than on the paper towel, more heat was lost.

The heat from the warm water pulled heat away from the ice cube, causing the ice to melt more slowly.

The heat from the ice on the desk was absorbed by the paper towel and sent back into the ice, causing it to melt more slowly.

Students from Ms. Lawson’s class were on a field trip at the Florida Aquarium. They recorded observations of the different animals they encountered. The students were intrigued by one animal in particular, the Fulvous Whistling Duck. The duck was swimming in a large glass tank. As the duck swam closer to the glass by the students, they observed that the duck appeared to be separated.

The sunlight was bending in the water, causing the duck to appear to be separated.

The sunlight was reflecting off the water, causing the duck to appear to be separated.

The sunlight was absorbing into the water, causing the duck to appear to be separated.

The sunlight was traveling through the water in a straight line, causing the duck to appear to be separated.

The Antarctic is home to many species of organisms that mostly live their lives in the ocean because the land is too cold, dry, and dark. Scientists study the ecosystem of this environment in order to explain patterns of animal behavior. A group of scientists documented organisms they observed. The Orca whale obtains its energy from the Leopard seal. Where does the ice algae obtain its energy?

The ice algae obtains its energy from the Sun, and as a producer it makes its own food.

The ice algae obtains its energy from the krill, an omnivore that eats both producers and consumers.

The ice algae obtains its energy from the krill, a producer that makes its own food.

The ice algae obtains its energy from the leopard seal, a carnivore that only eats consumers.

To answer this question, refer to the “Track Times” passage and data chart. The group determined that Tyler was the fastest runner and AJ was the slowest. What evidence did the group compare during their investigation?

The group collected data on the distance and time that every person ran.

The group collected data on the time every person ran.

The group collected data on the distance every person ran.

The group collected data on the best way to set up and run their investigation.

To answer this question, refer to the “Track Times” passage and data chart. One of the kindergartners at the school, Malik, also wanted to race. Malik ran for 40 seconds and then said, “I’m the fastest!” The older students agreed that Malik ran the shortest amount of time, but was not the fastest. What statement can help the 5 th graders explain why Malik was not the fastest?

Speed is calculated using both time and distance. Malik measured the time it took to run but not the distance that was run.

Speed is calculated using the distance that an object travels. Malik did not measure the distance that was run.

Speed is calculated using the time it takes for something to happen. Malik did not measure the time it took to run.

Speed is calculated using both time and distance. Malik measured the distance that was run but not the time it took to run.

Eli’s class was on a fieldtrip to the zoo. Their teacher gave them a scavenger hunt to find and record different characteristics of the types of animals they would be seeing during the day. Eli was able to find and record almost all of the information needed. What information about an arthropod’s body covering should Eli use to complete the scavenger hunt?

Arthropods have exoskeletons, which other animals do not have.

Arthropods have fur and skin like mammals.

Arthropods have scales like fish.

Arthropods have feathers like birds.

In the springtime, students in Ms. Tony’s class planted seeds for a vegetable garden. They planted rows of beans. Jsu drew a detailed diagram of the life cycle observations of the bean plant. Jsu wanted to explain the life cycle of the bean plants to the other classmates. Which of Jsu’s explanations correctly describes the order of the life cycle of the bean plant?

seed germinates, seedling grows into a plant, plant produces flowers, insects pollinate flowers, seed grows as a bean, seeds are dispersed

seed germinates, seed grows as a bean, plant produces flowers, seedling grows into a plant, seeds are dispersed, insects pollinate flowers

seedling grows into a plant, plant produces flowers, seed germinates, seed grows as a bean, insects pollinate flowers, seeds are dispersed

seed germinates, seedling grows into a plant, seeds are dispersed, insects pollinate flowers, seed grows as a bean, plant produces flowers

Many electric cars use a renewable source of energy. There are solar stations that convert solar energy into electrical energy.

light energy to electrical energy

sound energy to mechanical energy

heat energy to electrical energy

To answer this question, refer to the “Plaster of Paris” passage. Nastya and Marisol brought their models inside. They placed the models next to a window. They made observations for two more weeks. What would they expect to observe?

The roots would grow and bend towards the window.

The stem and leaves from the plant would bend away from the window.

Evelyn and Taylor like to make mixtures when they play outside. They created four different mixtures.
