Flashcard 1: What is one correct way to show a measurement idea in a sketch without exact numbers?
Answer: Use words like longer, shorter, or same length. Relative terms show size without exact measures.
Flashcard 2: What should you do in a sketch to show a solution that uses a sequence of steps?
Answer: Draw the steps in order, left to right or top to bottom. Sequential arrangement shows the process flow.
Flashcard 3: Identify the best sketch choice for a shadow problem: include light source, object, and screen?
Answer: Yes, include the light source, object, and screen. All three elements are needed to show shadows.
Flashcard 4: Which option is the best sketch for showing how to keep an ice cube from melting fast?
Answer: Ice cube inside an insulating cover, labeled. Insulation prevents heat transfer to the ice.
Flashcard 5: What should you add to a sketch to show that a plant needs sunlight from a window?
Answer: Draw the sun or window light arrows toward the plant. Light arrows show the plant's energy source.
Flashcard 6: Identify what to draw to show a magnet picking up paper clips from a pile.
Answer: A magnet near paper clips with arrows toward the magnet. Arrows show magnetic attraction pulling clips.
Flashcard 7: Which option best shows a solution for a ramp problem: show ramp slope and arrow down the ramp?
Answer: Show the ramp and an arrow down the ramp. Shows gravity's effect on the ramp clearly.
Flashcard 8: What should you sketch to show a solution for keeping a toy boat from tipping in water?
Answer: A wider base or balanced weight placement, labeled. Wider base or balanced weight prevents tipping.
Flashcard 9: Identify the best sketch feature to show a before-and-after change in an object.
Answer: Two pictures labeled before and after. Two labeled pictures clearly show the change.
Flashcard 10: What should you do if your sketch is too crowded to read clearly?
Answer: Redraw larger and include only important details. Simplifying makes the sketch easier to understand.
Flashcard 11: Which option is best for showing where water goes in a simple model: arrows or many sentences?
Answer: Arrows. Arrows are clearer than written descriptions.
Flashcard 12: What is the correct way to show that an object stops in a sketch?
Answer: Show the object at the end point with no motion arrow. No arrow means no movement at that position.
Flashcard 13: What should you add to a sketch to show which object is which?
Answer: Labels for each object. Labels help identify different parts clearly.
Flashcard 14: What is the best way to show the start and end of a path in a sketch?
Answer: Mark a start point and an end point. Clear endpoints show the complete journey.
Flashcard 15: What should you do in a sketch to show a solution that uses sorting into groups?
Answer: Draw separate groups and label each group. Grouping visually shows the sorting solution.
Flashcard 16: What should you do in a sketch if the problem mentions a barrier or wall?
Answer: Draw the barrier in the correct place. Including barriers shows complete problem setup.
Flashcard 17: Which sketch feature best shows where something happens: words, labels, or extra colors?
Answer: Labels. Labels are clearer than colors for locations.
Flashcard 18: Find the missing sketch feature: A drawing shows a ball rolling, but no direction is shown. What should be added?
Answer: An arrow showing the rolling direction. Movement needs direction to be clearly understood.
Flashcard 19: Which label set is best for a sketch of a plant experiment: "plant" only or "sunlight, water, plant"?
Answer: "sunlight, water, plant". Multiple labels show all important factors in the experiment.
Flashcard 20: What is the correct way to show a change over time in a solution sketch?
Answer: Draw before-and-after pictures. Two drawings show the starting and ending states.
Flashcard 21: What is the correct way to show that two objects are different sizes in a sketch?
Answer: Draw one larger and one smaller consistently. Consistent size differences help viewers understand scale.
Flashcard 22: What is the correct way to show where an object is located in a solution sketch?
Answer: Draw it in position and label nearby objects. Context clues help show spatial relationships.
Flashcard 23: What should you draw first in a solution sketch: the problem goal or extra details?
Answer: The problem goal (the important parts). Focus on essential elements first to avoid confusion.
Flashcard 24: Identify which sketch shows a solution for moving a heavy box: pushing with one person or using a ramp?
Answer: Using a ramp. Ramps reduce the force needed to move heavy objects.
Flashcard 25: Which sketch best shows how to make a shadow bigger: flashlight closer or farther from the object?
Answer: Flashlight closer to the object. Closer light sources create larger shadows.
Flashcard 26: Which option best shows a plan to keep an ice cube from melting quickly: draw it in the sun or in a cooler?
Answer: Draw it in a cooler. Coolers insulate and slow heat transfer to ice.
Flashcard 27: Identify the best sketch choice to show two magnets attracting: arrows toward each other or away from each other?
Answer: Arrows toward each other. Attraction means objects pull toward each other.
Flashcard 28: What is the purpose of a sketch when solving a science problem?
Answer: To show the plan and the solution clearly using a picture. Sketches help visualize both the problem and how to solve it.
Flashcard 29: Which sketch change fixes this error: The arrow shows wind blowing left, but the flag points right.
Answer: Change the arrow to point right (same direction as the flag). Wind direction and flag direction must match.
Flashcard 30: Find the missing sketch part: A magnet attracts a paper clip; what must be added to show the solution?
Answer: An arrow from the paper clip toward the magnet. Arrows show the direction of magnetic attraction.
