Praxis 5025-Science Questions with Correct
Answers
What is volume? The amount of space an object takes up
What is an activity that teaches volume? They can pour a set volume of water into
different containers with different sizes.
What is the basis of all matter in the universe? Atoms
What two concepts in science are usually combined for activities? Why? The
measurement of mass and weight are usually combined for them. Mass independent of gravity is
harder to grasp.
Mass and weight activities are usually centered around the use of what? A balance scale
or digital scale, asking the question what weighs more?
,What happens to gas when its cooler or warmer? It spreads out when warmed and
contracts when cooled.
What does the water cycle teach students? how water moves through these three states
(solid, liquid, and gas)
Define temperature. how much energy is contained in the particles in matter
If it has high energy, is the temperature high or low? The temperature is high.
When will water freeze to form ice, what temperature? 32 degrees F or 0 degrees C
When will water boil to form water vapor, what temperature? 212 degrees F, or 100 C
, What is sublimination? Solid to gas
What is deposition? Gas to solid
What is condensation? Gas to liquid
What is evaporation? Liquid to gas
What is a chemical change? Changing of one thing into another that has different
properties
What is energy? the capacity to do work—to cause some sort of movement or change
Which energy makes it possible for the eye to see? Light
