Name: 2 A student fills three identical glasses with different amounts of water as shown. She taps each one with a spoon and observes that each produces a sound with a different pitch. Which statement explains the student’s observations? A The tapping creates different sounds that echo. B Sound travels faster through larger amounts of water. C The amount of water in the glass affects vibration rate. D Some of the glasses were tapped harder with the spoon. 2 Test Booklet ID: fb904c49-cae9-4368-843a-e995daea9776-1 Copyright © 2021 Cambium Assessment, Inc. All rights reserved. Name: 3 The following question has two parts. First, answer part A. Then, answer part B. Part A Students observe that the sound of their voices echoes in an empty classroom. They fill the room with soft objects like coats and backpacks and notice that the sounds of their voices change. How will the sound of their voices change if the room is filled with soft objects? A The sounds will combine. B The sounds will become quieter. C The sounds will travel more slowly. D The sounds will have a higher pitch. Part B Why do the sounds of the students’ voices change after the classroom is filled with soft objects? A The objects cause sound vibrations to bounce back. B The objects allow sound vibrations to pass through them. C The objects absorb the sound vibrations that reach them. D The objects move when the sound vibrations reach them.

Blue, green, red, yellow, and other colors make up sunlight. Move the color labels into the blank boxes to show which color(s) the flower absorbs and which color(s) it reflects. You do not need to fill all the blank boxes. 4 Test Booklet ID: fb904c49-cae9-4368-843a-e995daea9776-1 Copyright © 2021 Cambium Assessment, Inc. All rights reserved. Name: 5 A student designs a method to increase the temperature of water in a glass. A. Move a cup onto the table to identify which cup will absorb the most heat. B. Move a lamp into a blank box to identify which lamp will increase the temperature of the water in the cup the most. Move only one cup onto the table. Move only one lamp into one of the blank boxes.

Name: 6 A student investigates the pitch of sound with identical water glasses containing different amounts of water. Different pitches are created by tapping on the rim of each glass. The vibration rate of each sound is measured and recorded in a table. Using this data as a guide, click on a water level needed in Glass D to produce a pitch lower than the pitch produced by Glass A. There may be more than one correct answer. Test Booklet ID: fb904c49-cae9-4368-843a-e995daea9776-1 7 Copyright © 2021 Cambium Assessment, Inc. All rights reserved.

Name: 7 A student wants to set up a demonstration to show how white light can be refracted. Move a tool into the blank box to correctly set up a white light refraction demonstration. Move only one tool into the blank box. You do not need to use all of the tools. Test Booklet ID: fb904c49-cae9-4368-843a-e995daea9776-1 9 Copyright © 2021 Cambium Assessment, Inc.

Move the labels into the blank boxes to show how light travels from the object to the student’s eye. 10 Test Booklet ID: fb904c49-cae9-4368-843a-e995daea9776-1 Copyright © 2021 Cambium Assessment, Inc. All rights reserved. Name: 9 A teacher makes a model guitar by using an open box for the guitar body and rubber bands for the strings. Students observe that the pitch of the sound produced by each rubber band depends on how tight the rubber band is. Based on your understanding of pitch, what is a possible reason that the tightness of a rubber band can change the pitch of sound? A It makes the rubber band vibrate faster or slower. B It makes the rubber band vibrate in different directions. C It makes the rubber band vibrate more loudly or more softly. D It makes the rubber band vibrate for different lengths of time.
