Try each quiz question before looking at the correct answer. Use the explanations to review missed ideas, then come back to similar questions until the pattern feels familiar.

Question 1

1. How many books stayed standing for each design after the gentle push. (correct answer)

2. Only Design 1 got bumped, and Design 2 was kept safe with no bumps.
3. Design 2 had more jars than Design 1, so it was harder to keep stable.

Question 3

1. Design 2 reached the top, and Design 1 stopped halfway and rolled back down.
2. Design 1 reached the top, and Design 2 stopped halfway and rolled back down. (correct answer)
3. Both ramps reached the top every time with the same gentle push.

Question 4

1. How easy it was to climb and if the child could reach the sink. (correct answer)
2. Which stool had the brightest color and the most stickers on it.
3. How many stools could fit inside a backpack during cleanup time.

Question 5

1. Design 1 held 5/5 books, and Design 2 held 3/5 books after the same push. (correct answer)
2. Design 2 held 5/5 books, and Design 1 held 3/5 books after the same push.
3. Both designs held 5/5 books, so the results are exactly the same today.

Question 6

1. Design 1 held all 5 books, but Design 2 held only 3 books upright. (correct answer)
2. Design 2 held all 5 books, but Design 1 held only 3 books upright.
3. Both designs held 5 books upright after the same gentle push test.

Question 7

1. He counted how many times each holder stayed stable during the same 5 bumps. (correct answer)
2. He asked friends which holder color they liked best and picked the favorite.
3. He used 3 jars in one holder and 6 jars in the other to test faster.

Question 8

1. How many poles each shade design used to stand up safely.
2. How much sandbox area was shaded by each design at noon. (correct answer)
3. Which shade design looked nicer to the kids during recess time.

Question 9

1. Design 2 was faster: 45 seconds, and Design 1 was slower: 120 seconds total.
2. Design 1 was faster: 45 seconds, and Design 2 was slower: 120 seconds total. (correct answer)
3. Both designs took 45 seconds because they had the same size opening.

Question 10

1. Yes, both designs carried the same 8 items the same distance to compare drops fairly. (correct answer)
2. No, because only Design 1 was carried across the room and Design 2 stayed on the shelf.
3. No, because Design 2 carried 10 items while Design 1 carried only 8 items.

Question 11

1. Yes, because both designs had the same 5 books and the same push test. (correct answer)
2. No, because Design 1 was tested with 5 books and Design 2 with 2 books.
3. No, because Emma only tested Design 2 and did not test Design 1.

Question 12

1. The same plant height and the same amount of water were used for both cans. (correct answer)
2. Design 1 used less water, and Design 2 used more water to water faster.
3. Design 2 watered a different plant that was lower and easier to reach.

Question 13

1. Both designs used 5 books and got the same gentle push during the test. (correct answer)
2. Design 1 used 5 books, but Design 2 used 10 books to test it.
3. Both designs were different shapes, so the test was not the same.

Question 14

1. Both ramps worked the same because both ramps were made from wood.
2. Design 1 reached the top, but Design 2 stopped halfway and rolled back down. (correct answer)
3. Design 2 reached the top, but Design 1 stopped halfway and rolled back down.

Question 15

1. She timed how long it took each scoop to collect all 20 toys. (correct answer)
