Article Question: What happens to chocolate when it's placed near a campfire, and why does it change?

It melts because heat makes the molecules move around more.

It burns because its molecules react with oxygen.

It freezes because the fire removes energy.

It evaporates because the temperature is too high.

Article Question: What is the difference between burning and melting?

Melting is a phase change, and burning is a chemical reaction.

Melting turns something into gas, and burning turns it into liquid.

Burning is a phase change, and melting is a chemical reaction.

Both burning and melting are chemical reactions.

a noticeably different form or state of the same substance

What does it mean to refute something?

to provide evidence that goes against a claim

Article Question: What fills the lakes and seas on Titan?

Tar-like substances like methane and ethane

Article Question: Who was Robert Boyle, and what did he discover about air?

An English scientist who discovered that air is matter.

A French scientist who discovered gravity.

An Italian explorer who found new continents.

A German philosopher who studied the stars.

Article Question: How did Boyle’s experiments change how scientists study gases today?

He based his discoveries on physical evidence that could be tested.

He relied on theories from old philosophers.

He used ideas without testing them.

He guessed the properties of air.

Article Question: How do water molecules behave in the liquid phase compared to the solid phase?

They move freely in the liquid phase but are locked in place in the solid phase

They are locked in place in both phases

They flow past each other in both phases

Article Question: What causes a flash flood in a desert, like Antelope Canyon?

Quick rainfall on dry, hard ground
