 PRAYER BEFORE THE EXAM

Lord, grant me clarity of mind,

strength of body and
serenity of spirit,
so that I may be able to answer
each and every question in this exam
as best and as honestly as I can
without the aid of anyone or anything…

Never let me resort to chances

or dishonesty…
Instead, let me offer whatever the result
of this exam to You…

and I will be honest.

Afterall, in Your eyes Lord,

that is all that really matters.

PANALANGIN BAGO ANG PAGSUSULIT

Panginoon, bigyan mo ako ng kalinawan ng isip,

lakas ng katawan at
katahimikan ng espiritu,
para makasagot ako
bawat tanong sa pagsusulit na ito
bilang pinakamahusay at bilang matapat hangga't makakaya ko
nang walang tulong ng sinuman o anupaman ...

Huwag mo akong hayaan na mag-pagkakataon

o kawalan ng katapatan ...
Sa halip, hayaan mo akong mag-alok ng anuman ang resulta
ng pagsusulit na ito sa Iyo ...
alam kong gagawin ko ang aking makakaya
at ako ay magiging matapat.

Pagkatapos, sa iyong mga mata Panginoon,

iyon lang ang talagang mahalaga.

Amen.

The main reason for this is because:
a. All matter is heavy
b. Matter can be a gas
c. Matter is made up of tiny particles that have mass and take up space
d. The Earth is made of matter

2. Water drops stay together on wax paper and they don’t break apart
easily.

b. Water molecules are in motion
c. Water molecules are attracted to each other
d. Water molecules are wet

3. When you bring two drops of water near each other and allow them
to touch, they combine immediately and become one drop.
This is mainly because:

 b. have no viscosity.
c. decrease in volume with increasing temperature.
d. are free to move in a container but remain in close contact with
one another.

8. The surface of water can act like a sort of skin due to a property of
liquids called
a. viscosity. c. condensation.
b. surface tension. d. evaporation.

9. In which state of matter do the particles spread apart and fill all the
space available to them?
a. crystal c. gas
b. liquid d. solid

10. The change from liquid to solid, or the reverse of melting, is called
a. condensation. c. sublimation.
b. boiling. d. freezing.

11. It has the strongest intermolecular force of attraction.

a. Liquid c.Heat

a. Liquid c.Heat
b. Gas d. Solid

13. This is an example of non-matter.

a. Liquid c.Heat
b. Gas d. Solid

14. Its particles are attracted to one another more strongly than the
particles of gases are.
a. Liquid c.Heat
b. Gas d. Solid

15. Gases have...
