Example Questions
Example Question #1 : Analyze Data From Design Solutions
I want to make a cup move farther when hit with a marble rolling down a ramp. I test 3 different marbles.
Which marble moved the cup the farthest?
The 30-gram marble.
The 10-gram marble.
The 20-gram marble.
The 30-gram marble.
The larger marble, which weighs 30 grams, moved the cup 5 inches which is the farthest of the three distances when compared. Measuring and recording data during an investigation helps us find answers to our questions.
Example Question #2 : Analyze Data From Design Solutions
What is a solution?
A type of investigation by police
An answer to a problem
The opposite of helpful
An answer to a problem
A solution is an answer to a problem. If someone has an issue or problem they encounter they have to solve it and they do this by coming up with a solution.
Example Question #3 : Analyze Data From Design Solutions
Which trial shows a change in direction?
Trial 2
Trial 1
Trial 3
Trial 2
Trial 2 shows that there was a change in direction. Trial 1 and 3 show that the ball stayed straight but Trial 2 the ball moved left. This would show a change in direction.
Example Question #2 : Analyze Data From Design Solutions
Ann pushes her toy car across the floor. She decides to measure how long it takes it to get across a finish line. Each time she pushes it harder and harder. In which trial did Ann push the car the hardest?
Trial 1
Trial 2
Trial 3
Trial 3
Ann pushed her car the hardest in Trial 3 based on the data we are given. If she pushes the car harder it should change the speed and make the car move faster. Trial 3 only took 5 seconds to cross the line so this was the fastest time (and hardest push).
Example Question #5 : Analyze Data From Design Solutions
What does it mean to design something?
Design means what something is like.
Design means to come together, to hit or crash together.
Design means to draw or write a plan for something.
Design means to draw or write a plan for something.
Design means to draw or write a plan for something. If you are asked to design an experiment or a solution you are being asked to make a plan to put into action.
Example Question #3 : Analyze Data From Design Solutions
Your teacher ties a string to a box. You hold the string, it does nothing. You pull the string towards you, the box moves. How do you know the pull made the box move?
It didn't move until the string was held.
We can't tell that the pull made it move.
It didn't move until the string was pulled.
It didn't move until the string was pulled.
The solution of pulling the string makes a change to the motion of the box. Holding the string does nothing, but pulling it causes movement. This is the evidence or data we need to support our claim. Pulling something can change its movement.
Example Question #4 : Analyze Data From Design Solutions
Which marble moved the cup the shortest distance?
The 10-gram marble.
The 20-gram marble.
The 30-gram marble.
The 10-gram marble.
The marble that weighed 10 grams moved the cup the shortest distance. Using the data from the investigation we can compare the distances the cup moved with all three marbles and find the shortest distance. This marble had the least force.
Example Question #8 : Analyze Data From Design Solutions
Analyzing data is a good way to decide if a solution works or not.
False
True
True
Analyzing data means finding patterns in information so it would be a good way to decide if a solution works or not. If we look at data and it shows pushing something harder always makes it move faster we know how to solve the problem of getting something to move faster!
Example Question #9 : Analyze Data From Design Solutions
What does it mean to analyze data?
Find patterns
Sing songs
Ask questions
Find patterns
To analyze data means to find patterns in information that has been collected. When doing an experiment or investigation in science you will collect measurements and data. Afterwards you can analyze the data to learn about what happened.
Example Question #145 : Kindergarten Science
Based on the data, which trial(s) shows an object that did not change directions?
Trial 1 and 2
Trial 3
Trial 1 and 3
Trial 1 and 3
Trials 1 and 3 both show an object that did not have its direction changed. The ball stayed straight and did not move left or right so its direction was unchanged.
