Question 4 • Physical Science Sem 1 (2003310) BCPS 2026-27
Michaela is baking a dessert. She measures 100 mL of vegetable oil by pouring it from the bottle into a measuring cup, then she pours the oil into a bowl with the other ingredients.Which statement best describes what happened to the vegetable oil during this process?
Answer
A
The volume of the vegetable oil changed, but its shape did not.
B
The shape of the vegetable oil changed, but its volume did not.
C
Both the volume and the shape of the vegetable oil changed.
D
Both the volume and the shape of the vegetable oil remained the same.
Explanation
A liquid keeps the same volume when poured, as long as none is spilled. The oil’s shape changes to fit each container—the bottle, measuring cup, and bowl—so the best choice is “The shape of the vegetable oil changed, but its volume did not.”
