Example Question #1 : 1st Grade Science
If the weather has been sunny and warm all week, what is a likely prediction for the weather tomorrow?
sunny and warm
freezing rain and cold
snow and cold
rainy and cold
sunny and warm
If a weather pattern has been sunny and warm all week, that is likely to continue. It would be uncommon for the weather to turn cold, with snow and freezing rain so quickly.
Example Question #1 : Earth And Space Science
At night, what could you see in the sky?
The moon and the sun
The moon
Stars and the moon
Stars
Stars and the moon
At night, the sky is dark. The sun cannot be seen in the night, only during the day. However, you could see both the moon and stars in the sky at night.
Example Question #2 : 1st Grade Science
During the afternoon, what could you see in the sky?
Stars
The sun
The moon
The sun and stars
The sun
During the afternoon, it is light outside. The moon and stars cannot be seen when it is light outside. However, you can see the sun during the afternoon.
Example Question #2 : Earth And Space Science
If it is snowing outside, what would the temperature likely feel like?
Warm
Hot
Cold
Cold and hot
Cold
In order for snow to fall, the temperature has to be cold and there has to be moisture in the air. If the temperatures are not low enough, the snow would be rain. When the weather is warm or hot, snow cannot form. The correct answer is cold.
Example Question #1 : Life Science
Select the item that is non-living.
Butterfly
Cat
Car
Grass
Car
The world is made up of both living and non-living things.
Living things are things that are alive. Living things eat so that they can grow and develop. Non-living things have never been alive, they are just objects.
A butterfly, grass, and a cat are all living things. They grow and develop over time. However, a car is an object that does not grow or develop. It is an objects, which means it is non-living.
Example Question #1 : Life Science
Select the item that is non-living.
Plant
Swing
Worm
Bird
Swing
The world is made up of both living and non-living things.
Living things are things that are alive. Living things eat so that they can grow and develop. Non-living things have never been alive, they are just objects.
A bird, plant, and worm are all living things. They grow and develop over time. However, a swing is an object that does not grow or develop. It is an objects, which means it is non-living.
Example Question #2 : Life Science
Select the answer choice that is living.
Kite
String
Car
Grass
Grass
The world is made up of both living and non-living things.
Living things are things that are alive. Living things eat so that they can grow and develop. Non-living things have never been alive, they are just objects.
A car, kite, and string are not alive. They do not grow or develop. However, grass grows and develops, which means it is living.
Example Question #3 : Life Science
Select the answer choice that is living.
TV
Fish
Table
Fork
Fish
The world is made up of both living and non-living things.
Living things are things that are alive. Living things eat so that they can grow and develop. Non-living things have never been alive, they are just objects.
A TV, fork, and table are not alive. They do not grow or develop. However, fish grows and develops, which means it is living.
Example Question #1 : Physical Science
Select the answer choice that will not stick to a magnet.
Stick
Paperclip
Nickel
Nail
Stick
A magnet can stick to metals that are made of iron, cobalt, or nickel. A magnet cannot stick to plastic, wood, rubber, and many other non-metal objects.
Looking at our answer choices, a paperclip, nail, and nickel are all made out of metals that are magnetic. A stick is made of wood, which is not a magnetic material, so it will not stick to a magnet.
Example Question #1 : Physical Science
Select the answer choice that will not stick to a magnet.
Nail
Nickel
Tennis ball
Paperclip
Tennis ball
A magnet can stick to metals that are made of iron, cobalt, or nickel. A magnet cannot stick to plastic, wood, rubber, and many other non-metal objects.
Looking at our answer choices, a paperclip, nail, and nickel are all made out of metals that are magnetic. A tennis ball is rubber and fabric, which are not magnetic materials, so it will not stick to a magnet.
