People don’t typically post answers on the PhET website. I see you are a 4th grade teacher in Chandler Unified School District, so I made you an answer key with a short statement to justify my answers. I emailed it to you, I hope you find it helpful.

Dayana, activity authors don't generally post answers on the PhET site. I would recommend that you talk to your instructor or classmates if you have questions related to your upcoming exam.
