Using scientific knowledge about magnets and their capabilities can help solve problems that we face in the real-world. If Mindy needs to remove the iron filings, she can use a magnet to remove them from the sand, dirt, and rice. The sand, dirt, and iron filings would slip through the sifter because they are so tiny, tweezers would not be able to sort the small filings out of the mixture, and a microscope would help Mindy see the iron filings better but would not help her separate them.

Brad and Brian can use their scientific knowledge of magnets to determine which objects can be removed from the mixture. The items that can be removed have the quality of being magnetic. Bran and Brian can remove the iron filings and paperclips from the mix because they are both metal and magnetic. The other objects are made of materials that would not be attracted to the magnet.

Magnets attract objects made of certain materials. Objects that are strongly attracted to magnets will stick to them. The plastic fork, sock, and paper plate will not stick to the attraction. These objects are not strongly attracted to the magnet. The metal spoon will stick to the magnet. This object is strongly attracted to the magnet.

Magnets have a magnetic field that attracts other magnetic objects, so because of this, they attach when they are close enough. If two magnets are moved closer and closer together, they will eventually reach each other's magnetic field and be very attracted to each other. Once this happens, the magnets will move towards each other and become attached.

There is a cause and effect relationship between magnets that is being explored in this question. Gregory and Morgan are experiencing the effect of magnets having the same poles or charges faced towards each other. If the North end of both magnets or South ends of both magnets were pushed together, the magnets would repel. If opposite sides were being pushed towards each other, they would be attracted and connected.

Jill can make predictions about what will happen in future trials because there are patterns in motion that data helps us to recognize. "Ball 3" bounced the shortest height in all of the previous tests, so, likely, it will again bounce the shortest height. Using patterns and data can help support the prediction that she is making.

This data table shows the marble's weight is in grams. To measure the marble accurately, a scale should be used to find its weight or mass. A beaker and measuring cup would be more appropriate for liquids, and a ruler measures length. A scale or balance would be the best option for weight or mass.

Grant will be investigating whether a soccer ball travels further on artificial turf or real grass. The keyword "further" in that statement gives a clue to which answer choice would be the correct measurement. The only answer choice that measures distance is, "Grant will measure the distance the balls traveled on each type of grass.". This choice would collect information about each grass type and the distance the balls traveled so they can be compared.

This graphic represents an unbalanced force. One individual player versus three players on the opposite team is not an equivalent amount of force or strength. The single-player will move towards the group of three when the pulling starts because they have more power than one player alone. The lone player will eventually lose the game when crossing over the center point due to an equal amount of force.
