Feeling Like a Scientist

Brianna wants to find out what happens when an ice cube sits in a warm place or a cool place. Look, predict, and think like a scientist. You can point, draw, or tell your answers.

Plan the test

Brianna puts one ice cube by a sunny window and one in a shady spot. She uses the same-sized ice cubes and waits the same amount of time.

1.What is Brianna trying to find out?
  • Which ice cube melts faster
  • Which plate is prettier
  • Which spot is louder
2.Before the test, predict: Which ice cube do you think will melt faster?
  • The ice cube by the sunny window
  • The ice cube in the shady spot
3.What should Brianna keep the same to make this a fair test? Choose two.
  • Use ice cubes the same size
  • Wait the same amount of time
  • Put one cube in water

Observe and record

After a while, Brianna sees a small puddle by the sunny-window plate. The ice cube in the shady spot is still mostly solid.

4.Which ice cube melted more?
5.Circle the word that tells what Brianna used to learn:
  • Observe (look carefully)
  • Guess without looking
  • Forget
6.True or false: Brianna changed only the place where each ice cube sat.
TrueFalse
7.Draw what you think the two plates look like after the test. Show the melted ice.
Draw the sunny-window plate and the shady-spot plate after the test.
8.Brianna's result: the ice by the sunny window melted more. Finish the sentence: The sunny spot was than the shady spot.
9.If Brianna repeats the test, what is a good thing to do?
  • Try the test again and observe carefully
  • Use a much bigger ice cube in one spot
  • Stop watching the ice
10.Name one thing a scientist can do: ask a question, make a prediction, observe, or record what happens.
