Practice current Texas science concepts, models, investigations and evidence with selected TEKS connections.
Independent, original skill practice with selected TEKS connections. These shorter banks cover each tested subject and major content category, but not every assessed standard or official item format. They are not official STAAR tests, SST simulations, adaptive tests, or score predictions.
18 original questions and tasks. Written responses
use task-specific self-review checklists and examples, without automatic
scoring. Original classroom stories and hypothetical data are fictional;
historical sources and paraphrases are identified individually.
This bank samples the assessed Grades 6–8 science band.
Spring 2027 can include standards from the full assessed band,
including Grade 6. Science investigation
and evidence are integrated across the content strands.
Request a hint when you need one. All levels use the same original questions.

Question 1 of 18 · Matter and Energy
Track mass in a closed reaction · Curriculum connections: 8.6(E)
A sealed reaction
Original classroom material; people, sources and data are fictional.
Original classroom investigation with hypothetical measurements. Two substances react inside a sealed, rigid flask. Bubbles form. The entire flask and contents have a mass of 185 g before and 185 g after the reaction. The flask is never opened. A model also shows carbon dioxide as CO₂.
Which explanation is consistent with the unchanged measured mass after bubbles form?
