Expectation: 4.6(B)DOK: 2 The picture shows a test that Lani did on a piece of brass, which is made of copper and zinc, to learn about its properties.
In another test, seen in the picture below, Lani took the same piece of brass and put one end on a hot plate that was left on for five minutes. When Lani touched the other end of the brass, it was very hot.
Based on the tests, what is true about the brass?
It is a good electrical conductor and a good thermal conductor.B It is a good electrical conductor but a poor thermal conductor.C It is a poor electrical conductor and a poor thermal conductor.D It is a poor electrical conductor but a good thermal conductor.

Expectation: 4.6(D)DOK: 2 The picture below shows Peggy's new racetrack. It has different starting positions and an upside-down loop for cars to go through. She has 3 cars that she wants to try on the track: a sports car, a truck, and a jeep.
Peggy knows that height can change how fast a car will go. Which experiment will help Peggy choose the starting position that allows every car to complete the loop?
F Peggy drops each car from the same starting height and records which cars complete the loop from that height.
G Peggy drops each car from the same starting height and measures the amount of time it takes each car to complete the loop.
