A school helper named Anna is setting up tables for a special graduation celebration in the media center.
She sets up 6 long tables and places exactly 8 chairs around each one.

A meteorologist notices a fast-moving, ribbon of air blowing high up in the atmosphere from west to east across the United States. This wind current is acting as a boundary, trapping freezing polar air to the north of North Carolina, while warm, humid air stays to the south.
If this wind current suddenly dips downward directly over North Carolina, what will most likely happen to the local weather?
A) The temperature will rise sharply, causing a sudden heatwave.
B) The wind will stop completely, bringing clear, calm summer skies for weeks.
C) The air pressure will drop, bringing a drastic decrease in temperature and a shift in weather.
D) The ocean tides along the coast will reverse directions instantly.
C) The air pressure will drop, bringing a drastic decrease in temperature and a shift in weather.
The gym was echoing with loud cheers as the annual Winding Springs Elementary tug-of-war match began. Taylor’s team was slipping backward on the slick floor, the heavy rope pulling taut. Taylor looked over at the opposing line, noting their steady footing and matching neon shirts. Instead of pulling harder with pure force, Taylor planted his heels firmly into the mat, lowered his center of gravity, and shouted a rhythmic count for his team to pull all at once. Slowly, the red marker on the rope began to shift back toward their side.
Why did Taylor change his strategy during the match?
B) He realized that pulling with random individual force was not working against a highly coordinated team.
The morning of the school field day finally arrived, and the sky was a bright, neon blue. Taylor was selected to run the final lap of the relay race for his class team. As he waited at the starting line, his hands began to shake and his stomach felt like it was tied up in knots. He looked over at Mr. Daniels, who smiled and gave him a thumbs-up. Taylor took a deep breath, and as soon as the whistle blew, he flew down the track like a rocket.
What does the author mean by saying Taylor’s "stomach felt like it was tied up in knots"?
Taylor was feeling nervous or anxious about running the final lap.
The Flight Project
The students in the media center worked hard to finish their engineering displays before the school day ended. Anna, who was the lead helper for the project, carefully measured the wooden wings of her model airplane. Behind her, Mr. Daniels and Taylor were assembling the landing gear when a sudden gust of wind from an open window blows the paper blueprints right off the table. Everyone scrambled to catch the flying pages before they slid under the book racks.
Which change should be made to correct the underline/bold error in the passage?
assembled
A student is given a mystery mineral sample during a science lab. She records the following observations in her notebook:
The mineral has a dull, earthy luster.
The mineral cannot be scratched by a copper penny, but it can be scratched by a steel nail.
When dropped into a cup of vinegar, bubbles instantly form on the surface of the mineral.
Which of the student's observations describes a chemical property of the mineral rather than a physical property?
Observation 3
During a recess game, a heavy wooden box is sitting completely still on a flat tile floor. Two students step up to move it.
Larissa pushes the box toward the right with a force of 10 pounds.
At the exact same time, Taylor pushes the box toward the left with a force of 10 pounds.
Describe what will happen to the box with each of them pulling?
The box will remain completely still because the forces are balanced and cancel each other out.
A student helper named Anna is organizing a large box of custom graduation decals.
1/3 of the decals in the box are cyberpunk neon logos.
2/5 of the decals in the box are vintage Art Deco style designs.
The remaining decals in the box feature high-level space designs, like black holes and event horizons.
What fraction of the total box of decals features space designs?
4/15
Three student helpers are organizing the media center book fair display tables.
Anna organized 5/8 of her assigned book shelf.
Larissa organized 3/4 of her assigned book shelf.
Taylor organized 4/6 of his assigned book shelf.
Complete the statement __ < __ < __
5/8 < 4/6 < 3/4
A line segment on a number line starts at 0 and ends at 1. The segment is divided into equal sections. The third tick mark after the 0 is labeled 3/6.
If a student starts at the 0 mark and hops exactly halfway across the number line toward the 1, which fraction names the point where they land?
3/6
In a balanced wetland ecosystem, a population of large frogs relies heavily on eating smaller aquatic insects. Terrestrial birds, like blue herons, hunt and eat the frogs.
Runoff water from a nearby construction site accidentally enters the wetland, introducing a pollutant that prevents the aquatic insect eggs from hatching, causing the insect population to instantly collapse. Which of the following is the most likely long-term secondary effect on this food web?
A) The plant population in the wetland will decrease because there are fewer birds.
B) The heron population will eventually decrease because the frog population will shrink from a lack of food.
C) The frogs will instantly adapt to eating the blue herons for survival.
D) The insect population will quickly grow larger to fight off the pollutant.
B) The heron population will eventually decrease because the frog population will shrink from a lack of food.
During a field day race, a student's leg muscles require a massive amount of oxygen delivered quickly to keep running at full speed. Which two body systems must work closely together to ensure the muscles get the oxygen they need while removing carbon dioxide waste?
A) The Digestive system and the Skeletal system
B) The Respiratory system and the Circulatory system
C) The Nervous system and the Digestive system
D) The Muscular system and the Integumentary (Skin) system
B) The Respiratory system and the Circulatory system
Two students are pushing a heavy toy box across the floor. Larissa pushes with a force of 10 pounds to the right. Taylor pushes with a force of 5 pounds to the left.
What will happen to the box?
The box will move to the right because Larissa is pushing with more force.
