Example Questions
Example Question #1 : Warming Effect Of Sunlight
Which would help my popsicle from melting in the Sun?
Holding it higher
Changing the flavor
Putting it in the shade
Putting it in the shade
Shading the popsicle from the Sun would reduce the warming effect the sunlight has on it. When in direct sunlight the popsicle will melt quickly. When in the shade it is possible it may take longer to melt.
Example Question #1 : Design A Structure To Reduce Warming Effect Of Sunlight
What is a structure?
How old something is
How fast a race car can drive
How something is arranged or built
How something is arranged or built
A structure is how something is arranged or built. When building a structure you need materials or supplies and a plan of what you are making.
Example Question #2 : Warming Effect Of Sunlight
What does reduce mean? Example: I want to reduce the warming effect of sunlight so my ice cream doesn't melt.
To lessen or make smaller
To do nothing at all
To increase or make bigger
To lessen or make smaller
To reduce something means to lessen it or make it smaller. If I want to reduce the effect of something that means I want to lessen the effect it has.
Example Question #1 : Design A Structure To Reduce Warming Effect Of Sunlight
What do you think will happen to ice cubes in a sunny area and ice cubes in a shaded area after 5 minutes?
Sunny area - Melted
Shaded area - Less melted
Both will still be ice cubes
Shady area - Melted
Sunny area - Less melted
Sunny area - Melted
Shaded area - Less melted
The ice cubes in the sunny area would be melted completely or al least almost completely. The ice cubes in the shaded area should be less melted than the ice cubes in the sunlight because it was under a structure like a tree or cover to keep it shaded.
Example Question #4 : Warming Effect Of Sunlight
What does sunlight do to objects?
Sunlight warms objects and can change them.
Sunlight makes objects disappear like magic.
Sunlight cools objects and leaves them the same.
Sunlight warms objects and can change them.
Sunlight warms objects and can change them. If a popsicle is left in the sunlight it will quickly melt and change to liquid because the popsicle is being warmed by the Sun.
Example Question #5 : Warming Effect Of Sunlight
What is happening to the ice cream in this picture?
It is freezing.
It is melting.
It is evaporating.
It is melting.
The ice cream in the picture is melting. We can see it is dripping onto the owner's hand and it is in the sunlight so it is probably warm outside which causes the melting.
Example Question #2 : Design A Structure To Reduce Warming Effect Of Sunlight
Susan designed a structure out of popsicle sticks and construction paper to make a shaded area for her chocolate bar. What will the effect be on the candy?
It should stop or slow the candy bar's melting.
It will have no effect on the candy bar.
It will cause the candy bar to melt faster.
It should stop or slow the candy bar's melting.
If the candy bar is placed under the structure that Susan designed it should create an area of shade to help stop or slow the candy bar's melting. We can design structures to help reduce the warming effect of sunlight.
Example Question #3 : Design A Structure To Reduce Warming Effect Of Sunlight
What could students do to reduce the effect the sunlight has on the popsicle?
Design a structure to shade the popsicle.
Wave the popsicle around in the air.
Hold the popsicle closer to the Sun.
Design a structure to shade the popsicle.
Students can design a structure that would shade the popsicle so it will not melt as quickly. Sunlight warms the Earth's surface and this can change objects.
Example Question #1 : Warming Effect Of Sunlight
Which structure would be most helpful to reduce the effect of sunlight and stop a chocolate bar from melting?
The umbrella would be the most helpful structure to reduce the effect of sunlight. Placing the umbrella over the chocolate bar will shade it and help stop it from melting. A lightbulb and a flame are going to melt it faster.
Example Question #5 : Warming Effect Of Sunlight
Which material would not be good to use in a structure that will sit in the Sun?
Popsicle stick
Crayon
Shoe
Crayon
A crayon would not be a good material to use in a structure that will sit in the Sun because it would melt. Popsicle sticks are made of wood and shoes are made of cloth and rubber which would not melt and are sturdy.
