What would be a good model to help Reese understand how rock can change into a liquid? a ball rolling down a hill clothes drying in a dryer chocolate mixing with milk ice melting into water 2. A farmer has a flock of chickens, like the ones shown below. The farmer is trying to get his chickens to lay more eggs, so he decides to conduct an experiment. Before he begins the experiment, the farmer predicts that the type of feed the chickens eat determines the number of eggs the chickens lay. To conduct the experiment, the farmer gives the same group of chickens a different type of feed each week. The chickens were all the same type. He does not limit the amount of food each chicken is allowed to eat.

2 What data must the farmer collect to test his prediction? the type of chickens and the type of food given the size of the eggs the amount of food given and the number of eggs laid the type of food given and the number of eggs laid 3. Mr. Jenson's class is observing the growth of one kind of pea plant. The class wants to design an experiment to answer the question, "What amount of water will cause the plants to produce the greatest number of peas?" What could the class do to create the experiment? give all of the pea plants different amounts of water and count the number of peas that the plants produce give all the pea plants the same amount of water and count the number of peas that the plants produce stop watering all of the pea plants and then count the number of peas that the plants produce give all the pea plants different amounts of water and only guess the number of peas that the plants produce 4. Haley knows that plants and animals are made up of many different materials. She wants to know how these materials can cycle through an ecosystem.

3 What question could Haley ask to learn more about this topic? What will happen to a sunflower plant if it is grown in a dark closet? What happens to the materials that make up a living organism after it dies? What kind of organism is the most popular at Haley's school? What kind of plant should Haley buy her mom for her birthday? 5. Technology Enhanced Questions are not available in Word format. 6. Which of the following activities are part of scientific investigations? communicating comparing and contrasting observing all of these 7. Evan decides to test his prediction that seeds grow better in the dark. He has gathered seeds and put them on damp paper towels. Which of the following would be the best way for Evan to test his prediction? put one paper towel with seeds in a sunny place and one in a dark closet put one paper towel with seeds in a cold closet and another in a warm closet put one paper towel with seeds in a sunny window put one paper towel with seeds in a cold, dark closet 8. For several years, a scientist has been studying the mineral levels in the soil found in a certain area of forest. Then, last year, a wildfire swept through the forest, killing the plants that had lived there and chasing away the animals.

4 During the days and months following the fire, the scientist revisited the fire-damaged forest and made observations. She counted the number of shrubs and tree seedlings beginning to grow where the tall adult trees had once stood. She made note of three new kinds of insects that she has not seen in the area before. Then, she measured the amount of minerals in the soil. Using this information and the data the scientist had already gathered on the soil, what is a question the scientist could answer? What will the mineral levels in the soil be in 20 years? How much did the fire change the mineral levels in the soil? Do animals run from fire because of the heat or the smell? How much more sunlight do the seedlings get now? 9. Technology Enhanced Questions are not available in Word format. 10. Mr. Green gave his students a set of items.

5 They had a toothpick, pencil, paper clip, safety pin, nail, and dime. He also gave them a magnet. He told them to predict which items are magnetic. How can they test their predictions? measure each of the items see which items stick to the magnet weigh each of the items see which items stick to the pencil 11. Jada is doing an experiment. She wants to find out if bananas go bad faster if they are in the refrigerator. To find out, Jada will place five bananas on the counter. She will put five more in the refrigerator. She will record how many days it takes for each to turn brown. Which is the best prediction Jada could make about her project? The bananas on the counter turned brown in five days. Bananas taste better than apples. The bananas on the counter will turn brown first. Bananas go bad faster than pears. 12. Fourth graders were experimenting with melting times of ice cubes. All the ice cubes were exactly the same size and shape. They had three identical glasses.

6 Sam put his ice cube in an empty glass on the counter. Ciaran put his cube in an empty glass in the refrigerator, and Faith put her ice cube in a glass filled with water on the counter. What would the fourth graders want to observe and record about the experiment? the shape of the melting ice cube the amount of water produced from the melted ice cube the time it took for the ice cube to melt completely the color of the melting ice cube
