In the assessment, students needed to identify examples of chemical change like when cake batter changes color, when fruit ripens, or when light is produced in a glow stick.

A student places a pan containing liquid cake batter into a hot oven. The student observes a chemical reaction when:

In the test, students were asked to distinguish differences between chemical and physical changes, like when ice cubes melt.

Which activity does not represent a chemical change?

The test states that students need to define volume as the amount of space an object takes up. Feathers is the correct answer.

Students make four piles with an equal mass of dirt, rocks, sugar, and feathers. Which pile has the greatest volume?

Mass is the amount of matter in an object, according to the test. Brick is the correct answer.

Which object has a high mass but would have a small volume?

Students needed to recognize that red cabbage juice as a common indicator turns bright pink with an acid and green or yellow with a base, according to the test rules.

A scientist mixes rainwater and cabbage juice. The cabbage juice turns green. The scientist correctly concludes that the rainwater is:

According to the test, students needed to recognize that heat energy is related to things like insulation, refrigerators, air conditioners, the sun, and a stovetop.

Which statement describes how a potato, gasoline, a log, and milk are alike?

The test's directions say that students must recognize that light and heat energy is related to the sun while chemical energy is related to food and batteries.

Which activity is not an example of chemical energy?

Students needed to compare concave and convex lenses in order to pass the test. Light rays come together through the convex lens.

Which sentence correctly describes how light rays travel through the lens in the human eye?

Students needed to know how convex and conclave lenses bend light in order to pass a series of test questions. Concave lenses bend light rays outward to focus the image on the back of the eye instead of in front of it.

People who cannot see distant objects very well are nearsighted. They usually are given concave lenses to improve their vision. Which statement best describes how concave lenses improve their vision?

The moon’s gravity is approximately one-sixth that of Earth, according to the directions on the test. On the moon, an object's weight would decrease but the mass stays the same.

An object is sent to the moon from Earth in a spacecraft. Which observation correctly describes what happens to the mass and weight of the object on the surface of the moon?

[A 100 pound person would weigh](http://www.seasky.org/solar-system/planet-weight-calculator.html) approximately 236 pounds on Jupiter and a mere 37 pounds on Mars.

On which two planets would an object weigh more than on Earth?

A 100 pound person [would weigh only](http://www.seasky.org/solar-system/planet-weight-calculator.html) 16 pounds on the moon.

An object weighs 10 pounds on the moon. On Earth, the same object would weigh about:

Objects that have a larger mass have more gravitational force, according to the test. Therefore, sun is the correct answer.

A spacecraft is traveling from Mercury to Jupiter. Where would the spacecraft experience the greatest gravitational force?

The test states that every cell has a membrane, but only plant cells have a cell wall.

How can a student decide if a cell is from a plant or an animal?

Chloroplasts are involved in photosynthesis so only a plant's cell would contain chloroplasts.

Which cell contains chloroplasts?

Which statement correctly identifies a body system and its main function?

Like other plants, the sun helps kudzu grow.

Kudzu is a common plant found in Alabama. Which statement correctly describes a relationship between kudzu and an abiotic factor in an ecosystem?

According to the Alabama State Department of Education manual, students needed to know the terms biotic, abiotic, mutualism, commensalism, and symbiosis. In a commensalism relationship, one organism benefits while the other is unharmed and doesn't benefit.

A certain species of vine grows on the trunk of a tree. The vine uses the tree to help it reach sunlight. Its relationship with the tree is a type of symbiosis called commensalism. This relationship means that:

According to the test's answer key, students needed to know that geosphere is the layer on Earth where rocks are formed and where volcanoes, caves, and earthquakes exist while hydrosphere contains Earth’s liquid.

In which two spheres of Earth are the effects of both volcanoes and earthquakes found?

Here's a cookie for passing 5th grade. You are the best of the best. Not only are you smarter than a fifth grader, but you're probably smarter than most adults to be honest. You're knowledgeable about most fields and you'd be the teacher's pet. Some people try to cheat off you, but don't let them take away your fire.

Congratulations—You got an A!

You scored better than most. You're a well-rounded person who knows how to have fun, but you also know your facts and your studious labor will pay off.

Awesome—You scored in the top percentile!

You passed this test, which means you passed 5th grade and are headed to junior high. Watch out—some people may try to stuff you in lockers or force you to take some drugs. Your gym teacher will watch you undress. You should probably take this test again and fail so that you can stay in elementary school, forever.

Amazing—You passed with flying colors!

You didn't get most of these right, so that means you get to stay in 5th grade forever. Puberty is a bitch, so consider yourself lucky. These results don't really matter, since everyone knows online quizzes are bullshit anyways.
