The sugar evaporated and left the milk in the pitcher. The sugar dissolved, and the milk became sour. The sugar dissolved, and the milk became sweet. The sugar floated on the surface of the milk in the pitcher. 4 Two fossil fuels, oil and natural gas, are often found together. This is because both are created by cooling the same substance. water being heated by the Sun. heating the same substance. water freezing. 5 Sedimentary rocks sometimes help decaying plants and animals become oil. This is because the small particles of rock in sedimentary rocks tend to press down on decaying plants and animals. cool decaying plants and animals. reduce the amount of decaying plants and animals. bring decaying plants and animals to the surface Progress Testing Page 2

3 5th rade Science 2nd Nine Weeks ssessment 6 The diagram below shows a T-shirt as it appears before and after it is viewed in a mirror. What caused the letters on the T-shirt to appear in reverse? The mirror's surface is curved, which causes the image to flip. Light rays are absorbed by the mirror, creating an optical illusion. The mirror increases light rays' intensity, which distorts the image. Light rays change direction as they bounce off the mirror's surface. 7 mirror ball is shown below. When light strikes the surface of the mirror ball, it is refracted by the mirrors. absorbed by the mirrors. destroyed by the mirrors. reflected by the mirrors Progress Testing Page 3

Lenses change the direction of light rays by bending them. Lenses cause objects to appear larger, only. Lenses cause light rays to spread apart, only. Lenses break up white light so that it can no longer travel. 12 Keung had a box of metal buttons and emptied them into a bowl. Later, his mother wanted to use the bowl for cooking. Without looking, she poured a cup of water into it. Which of the following ways would NOT be effective for removing the buttons from the water without touching the mixture? Running a magnet through the mixture oiling the mixture Placing the mixture in the freezer Straining the mixture Progress Testing Page 5

6 5th rade Science 2nd Nine Weeks ssessment 13 The picture below shows sea cliffs. These sea cliffs were formed by plant growth wearing down large rocks. water washing up against large rocks. the Sun's heat expanding large rocks. soil gathering on large rocks. 14 What is the boiling point of water? 0 degrees elsius 32 degrees elsius 100 degrees elsius 212 degrees elsius Progress Testing Page 6

7 5th rade Science 2nd Nine Weeks ssessment 15 When there is little oxygen in an environment, decaying plants and animals are likely to become solid carbon, which we also call coal. oal would be most likely to form at the bottom of a crater made by a meteorite. the top of a high mountain. the bottom of a lake filled in by dirt and rocks. the top of a sand dune in a desert. 16 Trevon designed a toy rocket and ignited the propellant to see how high the rocket would travel. The toy rocket traveled 5 meters into the air. What should Trevon do to determine whether the force from the propellant is enough to push the rocket 5 meters into the air in repeated trials? Test the rocket several times using different amounts and different types of propellant Test the rocket several times using an identical amount of different types of propellant Test the rocket several times using different amounts of the same type of propellant Test the rocket several times using an identical amount of the same type of propellant Progress Testing Page 7

Which experiment determines what happens to the car when Sonrisa pulls on the string? n experiment that measures the weight of the car n experiment that measures how long the string stretches n experiment that measures how quickly the car speeds up n experiment that measures the thickness of the string 18 Which type of alternative energy does not require fuel combustion, is extremely common in the United States, and can be captured using dams and turbines? Energy from the Sun Energy from biofuels ydroelectric energy Wind energy 19 udah mixes together water, salt, and sand in a container. ow many of these materials are present in the container after they are mixed together? Progress Testing Page 8

9 5th rade Science 2nd Nine Weeks ssessment 20 allie added a cup of water to a quarter cup of salt and stirred the mixture for several minutes. What happened to the water and salt in the solution? The salt dissolved in the water, and the water turned bright white. The salt dissolved in the water, and the water became clear. The salt floated on top of the water and did not dissolve. The salt crystals stuck together and sank to the bottom of the water. 21 nna looked carefully at the soil around a prickly pear cactus in the desert. She found that this soil was extremely dark and very wet. light colored and very dry. medium dark and smooth. medium brown and rocky. 22 ossil fuels, such as oil, can be found in ancient ocean or sea beds, where pressure and bacteria have hardened plant and animal remains into rocks. burned plant and animal remains into ashes. transformed plant and animal remains into liquids. melted plant and animal remains into magma. 23 arnell gives a swing a strong push. Which of the following will determine how far the swing travels? Measuring the length of the stand that the swing is on Measuring the length of arnell's arms Measuring the height of all of the swings in the park Measuring the height of the swing arnell pushed Progress Testing Page 9
