Example Questions
Example Question #1 : Earth And Space Science
Select the time that could be when the sun rises.
The sun rises in the morning. Looking at our answer choices, we have times that are in and .
Times that are in are morning times. Times that are in are afternoon and evening times.
Because the sun rises in the morning, our answer choice needs to end in .
is the middle of the night, and the sun is not out in the middle of the night. is a morning time and the sun could rise around .
Example Question #2 : Earth And Space Science
Select the time that could be when the sun sets.
The sun sets in the evening. Looking at our answer choices, we have times that are in and .
Times that are in are morning times. Times that are in are afternoon and evening times.
Because the sun sets in the evening, our answer choice needs to end in .
is the middle of the night, and the sun is not out in the middle of the night. is a morning time so the sun would not be setting. is the middle of the afternoon, when the sun is at its highest point, which means that the sun would not be setting.
could be a time that the sun is setting.
Example Question #3 : Earth And Space Science
Select the time that the sun is at its highest point.
The sun is at it's highest point during the afternoon, around
Around the sun is just rising, so it's at one of its lowest points.
Around the sun is setting, so it's at one of its highest points.
is the middle of the night, so it the sun is not up because it's dark.
Example Question #4 : Earth And Space Science
Select the example of reusing an object.
Buying the same type of water
Refilling a plastic water bottle.
Throwing away a water bottle
Buying the same type of water bottle
Refilling a plastic water bottle.
When you reuse something, you use something again.
Once you are done drinking a bottle of water, if you throw it away you aren't going to reuse it. But, if you refill the water bottle, that is an example of reusing the bottle.
Re-buying the same type of water or water bottle is not an example of reusing something. You are just buying the item again.
Example Question #1 : Life Science
Select the best example of a habitat for a fish.
Ocean
Dessert
Land
Forest
Ocean
A habitat is a home of a plant or animal.
Fish live in water, so given the answer options the ocean is the best choice. A fish would not be able to survive in a forest, desert, or on land.
Example Question #2 : Life Science
Select the best example of a habitat for an owl.
Sea
Forest
Ocean
River
Forest
A habitat is a home of a plant or animal.
An owl is a type of bird that lives in trees, which are found in forests. Owls could not survive in the sea, ocean, or river because they can't swim. Also, they eat rodents, which are not found in bodies of water.
Example Question #3 : Life Science
Select the best example of a habitat for a whale.
Ocean
Pond
Desert
Forest
Ocean
A habitat is a home of a plant or animal.
Whales live in water, which means forest and desert are not the correct habitats for a whale. A pond is a small body of water, and most ponds are not very deep. Whales are large animals that require a lot of space, making ocean the best habitat a whale.
Example Question #4 : Life Science
Select the best example of a habitat for a deer.
Ocean
Desert
Land
River
Land
habitat is a home of a plant or animal.
A deer is an animal that lives on the land, and they eat a lot of plants. They can't survive is very hot temperatures, which makes a desert a bad habitat for deer. Also, deers can't swim which would make an ocean and a river bad habitats for deer.
Example Question #1 : Physical Science
Select the tool you would use to answer the question provided.
How hot is the hot chocolate?
Ruler
Measuring cup
Scale
Thermometer
Thermometer
Let's take a look at the tools given in the answer choices:
A thermometer is used to measure the temperature of something, or to determine how hot or cold something is.
A scale is used to determine the weight of an object.
A measuring cup is used to determine the amount of something. Measuring cups are often used in baking. For example, if a recipe called for two cups of sugar, you would use a measuring cup to measure out two cups of sugar.
A ruler is used to measure the length of something.
Based on the question, we are trying to determine how hot the hot chocolate is, so we would use a thermometer.
Example Question #2 : Physical Science
Select the tool you would use to answer the question provided.
How heavy is the book?
Ruler
Measuring cup
Thermometer
Scale
Scale
Let's take a look at the tools given in the answer choices:
A thermometer is used to measure the temperature of something, or to determine how hot or cold something is.
A scale is used to determine the weight of an object, or to determine how heavy or light something is.
A measuring cup is used to determine the amount of something. Measuring cups are often used in baking. For example, if a recipe called for two cups of sugar, you would use a measuring cup to measure out two cups of sugar.
A ruler is used to measure the length of something.
Based on the question, we are trying to determine how heavy the book is, so we would use a scale.
