  2. Ms. Munzbergs third grade class is learning about science. Which of the following does the class find to be true about stars? • They are all the same size. • They are all the same color. • They all make their own light. • They are all the same distance from the Earth.

  3. Latrae was playing basketball outside on a sunny day. The ball landed in the grass next to the court and got wet.

  4. Hannah writes a sentence in her science notebook about the energy that the Earth gets from the sun. There is a mistake in the sentence that she writes. • The Earth receives heat and electrical energy from the sun. • Which of the following would correct the mistake Hannah made? • Electrical and sound • Light and magnetic • Heat and sound • Heat and light

  5. Autumn enjoys observing the sky during the day and at night. She knows that many stars can be seen from her backyard in Holly Hill without a telescope. Which of the following is a star that is closest to the Earth?? • Mars • Moon • North Star • Sun

  6. A bird is at the top of a tall tree. The bird shakes one of the branches and berries fall from the tree. Which of the following explains why the berry falls to the ground?? • Gravity pulls the berry to the ground. • Gravity pushed the berry to the ground. • Gravity increases the weight of the berry. • Gravity decreases the weight of the berry.

  7. Zaileni visits the Creekside observatory every year to view the stars that can be seen in the nighttime sky. The observatory has a special tool that helps him see more stars that he can see with just his own eyes. Which tool would BEST help Zaileni see more stars in the nighttime sky? • Binoculars • Hand lens • Microscope • Telescope

  8. From Earth, we can see many stars in the night sky. During the day, we can see only one star. Why can we NOT see the other stars during the day?? • The sun’s glare blocks the other stars • The sun is the largest and brightest star • The clouds hide the other stars during the day • The other stars shine the brightest only at night

  9. Deon is studying about stars in his third grade science class. He learns that the sun is a medium-sized star. This surprises him because the sun appears to be the largest in the sky. Why does the sun look larger than other stars in the sky? • The sun is closer to Earth • The color makes the sun look larger • The shape changes the size of the sun • The sun is brighter than all the other stars

Which of the following BEST explains why Sinus appears brighter than Polarus in our nighttime sky?? • Sinus is larger than Polarus is • Sinus is closer to Earth than Polarus is • Sinus has different gases than Polarus does • Sinus has a different color than Polarus does.

  11. Daviana knows that stars are very large balls of hot gas. She observes what appears to be small points in the sky. What causes very large stars to appear so small in the sky?? • Brightness • Color • Distance • Size

  12. Mrs. Margison’s class is learning about ways to overcome gravity. She shows them the following examples: FLOATING EGG FLYING KITE FALLING RAIN JUMPING FROG • Which of the following examples does NOT show gravity being overcome? • Floating Egg • Flying Kite • Falling Rain • Jumping Frog

  13. The driveway in front of Amiriah’s house gets sunlight during the day. On most summer days, the driveway gets very hot and hurts her feet when she walks on it. At night, she notices that it does not hurt her feet when she walks on it. Why is it easier for Amiriah to walk on the sidewalk at night? Heat is lost Temperature increases Heat is gained Temperature does not change
