Lakes freeze from

  1. the middle out.

  2. the top down.

  3. the bottom up.

We use kilograms as the standard unit of weight.

FALSE; mass

100

If an object has greater density than water, it will____

sink

100

The amount of space taken up by something is called ____________.

volume

200

Which cube is experiencing the most pressure, and why?

Cube 3, because pressure depends on depth, the deeper you are the more pressure you will experience. Due to cube 3 being the deepest cube, it is experiencing the most pressure when compared to the other cubes.

200

When you dissolve powder into a liquid, it

changes the density, but the volume stays the same.

200

Volume is measured in cubic units.

TRUE

200

A ____________ is a container used to measure liquids.

graduated cylinder

Here are 3 containers of the same fluid. 

Which container has the least pressure at the bottom of the container?

Which container has the most pressure at the bottom of the container?

LEAST pressure: container D

MOST pressure: container C

300

What happens to the density of air when its temperature is decreased and it is in a rigid container?

Density is increased

300

Iron is heavier than wood.

FALSE; more dense

300

Air is a ____________.

fluid

300

____ will remain the same whether on Earth or its moon.

Mass

400

Here are 3 containers of the same fluid (with the same density). Which container has the least pressure at the bottom of the container, and why?

Considering all 3 containers have the same amount of liquid, they will all have the same amount of pressure at the bottom. 

400

As the temperature of water drops from 4°C to 0°C, its volume increases, so its density...

Decreases
