research reviewer

During a science fair, Ethan noticed that his friend Grace was quick to dismiss the results of her experiment without considering the data. He wondered, which of the following reflects a scientific attitude?

• Jumping to conclusions

• Being curious about things

• Ignoring observations

• Refusing to test ideas

Mason is a scientist who carefully watches and records how a plant grows every day in his garden. What skill is he using?

• Inferring

• Observing

• Predicting

• Classifying

Lily is curious about why her plants are not growing well. She wants to find out the reason behind it. What should be her first step in the scientific method?

• Make a conclusion

• Identify a problem

• Conduct an experiment

• Gather data

Avery says, "I think the plant will grow taller if it gets more sunlight." This is an example of:

• Prediction

• Conclusion

• Observation

• Measurement

During a science fair, Ava conducted an experiment to test the effects of different fertilizers on plant growth. After collecting her data, she noticed that one fertilizer did not perform as well as she had hoped. Instead of altering her results to make it look better, she decided to be truthful about her findings. Which is an example of honesty in science?

• Changing results to fit your guess

• Reporting what really happened

• Copying another student's answers

• Hiding your data

William is conducting an experiment in the kitchen and needs to measure the temperature of boiling water. What process skill is he demonstrating?

• Classifying

• Inferring

• Measuring

• Communicating

During a science fair, Zoe is trying to determine which fertilizer helps plants grow the fastest. She decides to test different fertilizers by planting seeds in pots and observing their growth over a month. However, she also considers using a method where she just guesses which fertilizer might work best without any prior evidence. Which of these methods is NOT part of the scientific method?

• Experimenting

• Guessing without evidence

• Making a hypothesis

• Stating a conclusion

During a science class, Ethan notices that the plants in the experiment are growing differently than expected. He shows curiosity by:

• Asks questions about why things happen

• Ignores unusual results

• Accepts answers without checking

• Copies others' explanations

During a school science fair, Ava created a graph to showcase her experiment results. The graph is used mainly to:

• Prove a hypothesis

• Display data clearly

• Replace observations

• Avoid measuring

Evelyn walked into her living room and noticed that the floor is wet.

What can she infer from this observation?

• "The floor is wet."

• "It rained earlier because the floor is wet."

• "The clock shows 3:00 PM."

• "The glass has 100 mL of water."
