      How does freezing affect the mass of water?

    • C. 

      How does freezing affect the color of water?

    Correct Answer
    A. How does freezing affect the volume of water?
    Explanation
    Freezing water causes it to expand, which is why the volume of the water increased from 40 ml to 44 ml. When water freezes, its molecules arrange themselves in a hexagonal lattice structure, which takes up more space than when the molecules are in a liquid state. Therefore, freezing water increases its volume.

    In the science lab Farah was measuring the melting point and the boiling      point of water, she organized her results in the following line graph that     shows the relation between the temperature and the time. She needs to set             her experiment and test when does ice change to liquid water, her hypothesis will       be:

    • A. 

      If the temperature increases, then ice will change to liquid water.

    • B. 

      If the temperature decreases, then ice will change to liquid water.

    • C. 

      If the temperature increases, then liquid water will change to ice.

    Correct Answer
    A. If the temperature increases, then ice will change to liquid water.
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "If the temperature increases, then ice will change to liquid water." This hypothesis is based on the understanding that ice melts and changes into liquid water when the temperature rises above its melting point. The line graph provided in the question shows a positive correlation between temperature and time, indicating that as the temperature increases, the time taken for ice to change into liquid water decreases. Therefore, it can be inferred that increasing temperature leads to the change from ice to liquid water.

    In parallel circuit, electricity has more than one path to flow. Electrical     current can flow in different paths as they flow from the negative side of the     battery to the positive side. Hamzeh wanted to know if a broken or a missing     light bulb affects the other light bulb or not. His hypothesis will be:

    • A. 

      If a light bulb is missing or broken, then the other light bulb will light.

    • B. 

      If a light bulb is missing or broken, then the other light bulb will not light.

    • C. 

      If a light bulb is missing or broken, then the other light bulb will get dimmer.

    Correct Answer
    A. If a light bulb is missing or broken, then the other light bulb will light.
    Explanation
    If a light bulb is missing or broken, then the other light bulb will light. In a parallel circuit, each component is connected separately to the power source, so if one light bulb is missing or broken, the other light bulb will still receive electricity and light up.

    A scientist wants to build a series circuit using a small battery and a small      light bulb, he runs out of wire. What everyday object could he use to connect     the battery to the light bulb?

    • A. 

      Use a metallic spoon

    • B. 

      Use a plastic ruler

    • C. 

      Use a rubber eraser

    Correct Answer
    A. Use a metallic spoon
    Explanation
    A metallic spoon can be used to connect the battery to the light bulb because metal is a good conductor of electricity. When the spoon is connected to the positive and negative terminals of the battery, it allows the flow of electrons from the battery to the light bulb, completing the circuit. This enables the electrical energy from the battery to power the light bulb and produce light. Plastic ruler and rubber eraser are not good conductors of electricity, so they would not be able to effectively transmit the electrical current between the battery and the light bulb.

    • C. 

      Heat the bar and see the reaction

    Correct Answer
    B. Put something made of iron near it and see the reaction
    Explanation
    By putting something made of iron near the metal bar and observing the reaction, we can determine if it is a magnet or not. If the metal bar is a magnet, it will attract the iron object. However, if it is not a magnet, there will be no attraction or reaction between the two objects.

    Zaid wanted to differentiate between the chemical and the physical change,       Study the experiment below. How can you tell Zaid if a change has occurred?

    • A. 

      Mix vinegar and baking soda

    • B. 

      Mix vinegar and water.

    • C. 

      Mix water and baking soda.

    Correct Answer
    A. Mix vinegar and baking soda
    Explanation
    When vinegar and baking soda are mixed together, a chemical reaction occurs. This can be observed by the fizzing and bubbling that takes place, as well as the release of carbon dioxide gas. In contrast, when vinegar is mixed with water or water is mixed with baking soda, no such reaction occurs. Therefore, the occurrence of a chemical reaction, as evidenced by the fizzing and bubbling, can be used to determine if a change has occurred.

    Layal washes dishes and put the clean wet dishes on a drying rack. Water in       these dishes dries up because:

    • A. 

      The water melts.

    • B. 

      The water condenses.

    • C. 

      The water evaporates.

    Correct Answer
    C. The water evaporates.
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "The water evaporates." When Layal washes the dishes and puts them on the drying rack, the water on the dishes is exposed to the air. Over time, the water molecules gain enough energy from the surrounding air to break free from the liquid and turn into gas. This process is called evaporation. As a result, the water on the dishes dries up.
