  • Alfredo and his friends rode their bikes on a bike path. The path was perfectly level, except where it went up over a small bridge and then came back down. There was no wind. The picture shows a side view of the shape of the path they followed. They had a contest to see who could coast the farthest. They pedaled as fast as they could from point 1 to point 2, and then they stopped pedaling and coasted to a stop at point 7. Of points 3, 4 and 5, at which point did their bikes travel fastest?

    3
    4
    5
    They went about the same speed at all three points.

    Crouching low over their bikes while coasting
    Swerving their bikes from side to side
    Pumping more air into their tires
    Oiling the wheel bearings

They pedaled as fast as they could from point 1 to point 2, and then they stopped pedaling and coasted to a stop at point 7. They were going faster at point 5 than at point 4 because of what energy change?

    From chemical energy to mechanical energy
    From kinetic energy to heat
    From kinetic energy to mechanical energy
    From potential energy to kinetic energy

  • The Friends of Nature youth club has been studying a local greenbelt area for several years. The plants and land shapes in the area have changed very little, except that a very strong wind about a year ago blew down nearly all the large dead trees. Some of the other things the club has learned are shown in the table. The club has decided to investigate the population changes shown in the table. To explain the decline in the squirrel population, they should first investigate

    changes in the fox population.
    dwindling food supply.
    the increase in the duck population.
    loss of a safe nesting area.

Some of the other things the club has learned are shown in the table. The club has decided to investigate the population changes shown in the table. The club could well predict that the change in the duck population might be due to reduction in

    habitat.
    number of squirrels.
    trees.
    predators.

  • Shown are two pictures of the same mountain. Use the pictures to answer the question. These pictures show a mountain at two different points in time. About how long did it probably take the mountain to change from “Before” to “After”?

    Less than a year
    About ten thousand years
    About a million years
    Over a billion years

  • A small ball is dropped down one end of a pipe. When air is blown in from the opposite end, the ball stops in the pipe. Which is a probable explanation?

    The pipe fills with air which will keep anything from falling through it
    Gravity’s pull is less inside the pipe than outside the pipe.
    The ball is made of very lightweight plastic.
    The force of the air on the ball balances the pull of gravity.

  • Look at this diagram. Each circle shows one state of matter. The arrows show ways that matter might change state. For example, arrow 2 shows that matter can change from a liquid to a gas. A pan of water boiling on a stove would match arrow 2. Heating a substance almost never causes the change shown by arrow
