question: Think about the magnetic force between the magnets in each pair. Which of the following statements is true?

choice: (A) The magnetic force is stronger in Pair 2. (B) The strength of the magnetic force is the same in both pairs. (C) The magnetic force is stronger in Pair 1.

context: The images below show two pairs of magnets. The magnets in different pairs do not affect each other. All the magnets shown are made of the same material.

gold answer: A

wrong prediction:

Rationale:

0: Magnets can pull or push on each other without touching.
1: When magnets attract, they pull together.
2: When magnets repel, they push apart.
3: These pulls and pushes between magnets are called magnetic forces.
4: The stronger the magnetic force between two magnets, the more strongly the magnets attract or repel each other.
5: You can change the strength of a magnetic force between two magnets by changing the distance between them.
6: The magnetic force is stronger when the magnets are closer together.
7: Distance affects the strength of the magnetic force.
8: When magnets are closer together, the magnetic force between them is stronger.
9: The magnets in Pair 1 are closer together than the magnets in Pair 2.
10: So, the magnetic force is stronger in Pair 1 than in Pair 2.
11: The answer is C.

question: Which property do these three objects have in common?

choice: (A) scratchy (B) fuzzy (C) hard

context: Select the best answer.

gold answer: A

wrong prediction:

Rationale:

0: An object has different properties.
1: A property of an object can tell you how it looks, feels, tastes, or smells.
2: Properties can also tell you how an object will behave when something happens to it.
3: Different objects can have properties in common.
4: You can use these properties to put objects into groups.
5: Grouping objects by their properties is called classification.
6: Look at each object.
7: For each object, decide if it has that property.
8: A hard object does not change shape when pressed or squeezed.
9: None of the objects are hard.
10: A fuzzy object is covered in soft hair.
11: All three objects are fuzzy.
12: A scratchy object is rough and itchy against your skin.

question: Would you find the word gym on a dictionary page with the following guide words? game - gnaw

choice: (A) no (B) yes

gold answer: A

wrong prediction:

Rationale:

0: Guide words appear on each page of a dictionary.
1: They tell you the first word and last word on the page.
2: The other words on the page come between the guide words in alphabetical order.
3: To put words in alphabetical order, put them in order by their first letters.
4: If the first letters are the same, look at the second letters.
5: If the second letters are the same, look at the third letters, and so on.
6: If one word is shorter, and there are no more letters to compare, then the shorter word comes first in alphabetical order.
7: For example, be comes before bed.
8: Put the words in alphabetical order.
9: Since gym is between the guide words game - gnaw, it would be found on that page.
10: The answer is B.

question: Think about the magnetic force between the magnets in each pair. Which of the following statements is true?

choice: (A) The magnitude of the magnetic force is greater in Pair 2. (B) The magnitude of the magnetic force is greater in Pair 1. (C) The magnitude of the magnetic force is the same in both pairs.

context: The images below show two pairs of magnets. The magnets in different pairs do not affect each other. All the magnets shown are made of the same material, but some of them are different sizes and shapes.

gold answer: A

wrong prediction:

Rationale:

0: Magnets can pull or push on each other without touching.
1: When magnets attract, they pull together.
2: When magnets repel, they push apart.
3: These pulls and pushes between magnets are called magnetic forces.
4: The strength of a force is called its magnitude.
5: The greater the magnitude of the magnetic force between two magnets, the more strongly the magnets attract or repel each other.
6: You can change the magnitude of a magnetic force between two magnets by using magnets of different sizes.
7: The magnitude of the magnetic force is greater when the magnets are larger.
8: The magnets in Pair 1 attract.
9: The magnets in Pair 2 repel.
10: But whether the magnets attract or repel affects only the direction of the magnetic force.
11: It does not affect the magnitude of the magnetic force.
12: Magnet sizes affect the magnitude of the magnetic force.
13: Imagine magnets that are the same shape and made of the same material.
14: The larger the magnets, the greater the magnitude of the magnetic force between them.
15: Magnet A is the same size in both pairs.
16: But Magnet B is larger in Pair 1 than in Pair 2.
17: So, the magnitude of the magnetic force is greater in Pair 1 than in Pair 2.
18: The answer is B.

choice: (A) translucent (B) soft (C) sour

context: Select the best answer.

gold answer: C

wrong prediction:

2: Properties can also tell you how an object will behave when something happens to it.
3: Different objects can have properties in common.
4: You can use these properties to put objects into groups.
5: Grouping objects by their properties is called classification.
6: Look at each object.
7: For each object, decide if it has that property.
8: A soft object changes shape when pressed or squeezed.
9: The lime, the lemon, and the green apple are soft, but the translucent shell is not.
10: A translucent object lets light through.
11: But you cannot see clearly through a translucent object.
12: All four objects are translucent.
13: A lemon has a sour taste.
14: The green apple and the lime are not sour.
15: The property that all four objects have in common is translucent.
16: The answer is A.

question: Which solution has a higher concentration of purple particles?

choice: (A) neither; their concentrations are the same (B) Solution B (C) Solution A

context: The diagram below is a model of two solutions. Each purple ball represents one particle of solute.

gold answer: B

wrong prediction:

Rationale:

0: A solution is made up of two or more substances that are completely mixed.
1: In a solution, solute particles are mixed into a solvent.
2: The solute cannot be separated from the solvent by a filter.
3: For example, if you stir a spoonful of salt into a cup of water, the salt will mix into the water to make a saltwater solution.
4: In this case, the salt is the solute.
5: The water is the solvent.
6: The concentration of a solute in a solution is a measure of the ratio of solute to solvent.
7: Concentration can be described in terms of particles of solute per volume of solvent.
8: concentration = particles of solute / volume of solvent In Solution A and Solution B, the purple particles represent the solute.
9: To figure out which solution has a higher concentration of purple particles, look at both the number of purple particles and the volume of the solvent in each container.
10: Use the concentration formula to find the number of purple particles per milliliter.
11: Solution A has more purple particles per milliliter.
12: So, Solution A has a higher concentration of purple particles.
13: The answer is C.
