DROPDOWN QUESTION

(a) is an example of condensation.
Answer explanation
When the warm, invisible water vapor hits the cold glass, it cools down and turns into tiny drops of liquid water. This is called condensation. So, condensation is when water vapor in the air turns into liquid water, just like how the drops form on the outside of your cold glass!

Noah left a glass of water outside on a hot day. What change might he observe?
The water will freeze.
The water will evaporate and become water vapor.
The water will turn into ice.
The water will remain unchanged.
Answer explanation
This process is called evaporation. So, when the sun heats up water, like from a puddle or a lake, the water turns into vapor and floats up into the air, just like magic!

MULTIPLE CHOICE QUESTION

Why does condensation form on the outside of a cold glass?
The glass is absorbing water from the air.
The cold temperature of the glass causes water vapor in the air to cool and change into liquid water.
The glass is leaking water.
The glass is melting.
Answer explanation
Great question! When you have a cold glass, the air around it has tiny bits of water in it, even though you can't see it. When the warm air touches the cold glass, it cools down. The cold glass makes the tiny water bits in the air stick together and form little drops of water. That’s what you see on the outside of the glass!
So, condensation happens because the cold glass makes the water in the air turn back into liquid and form drops.

Nora and Lily were conducting a science experiment. They placed a metal spoon in a pot of boiling water. What do you think happened to the spoon? (a)
The spoon melted
The spoon stayed cold
The spoon turned black
Answer explanation
When you put a metal spoon in hot water, the spoon gets hot because metal can pass heat really well. The hot water makes the spoon warm, and then the spoon makes the part you hold hot too! That's why you should be careful when you touch it!

MULTIPLE CHOICE QUESTION

Explain why ice cream melts on a hot day.
The heat from the sun causes the ice cream to absorb energy, changing it from a solid to a liquid.
The ice cream is made of water, which naturally turns into liquid.
The air is too cold for the ice cream to stay solid.
The ice cream is not real.
Answer explanation
When the sun or the warm air touches the ice cream, it starts to melt, turning from a solid into a liquid. This happens because the heat makes the ice cream's molecules move around faster, causing it to lose its shape and become a liquid. That’s why you need to eat it quickly before it melts!

Design an experiment to show how water can change from a liquid to a gas.
Place a cup of water in the freezer and observe.
Boil a pot of water and observe the steam rising.
Put a cup of water in the refrigerator and observe.
Leave a cup of water in a dark room and observe.
Answer explanation
Boiling water in a pot is a good way to design an experiment because it’s easy to see what’s happening. When the water boils, you can watch it turn into steam and see bubbles. This helps you understand how heat works and how things change when they get hot.
