Making Inferences: “Inference is an educated guess made through observation.” Which of the following BEST explains the bubbles found in ice core samples?

a)

Liquid water was changed to water vapor

b)

Gases were trapped in ice core samples

c)

Low air temperature caused water vapor to condensed to ice

7.

Making Inferences: “Inference is an educated guess made through observation.” Which of the following BEST explains the melting of an ice cube on a countertop?

a)

Option 1: An ice cube melts due to the absorption of heat energy from the warmer air surrounding it.

b)

Option 2: An ice cube melts due to the absorption of heat energy from the warmer surface of the countertop.

c)

Both options are correct

d)

Both options are incorrect

8.

Making Inferences: “Inference is an educated guess made through observation.” Which of the following BEST explains why the parts of an ice cube that are NOT in contact with the surface of a countertop melt slower?

Both options are incorrect

9.

Making Inferences: “Inference is an educated guess made through observation.” Which explains the direction of heat energy in relation to the melting of an ice cube?

a)

Option 1: Heat energy goes into an ice cube which results to its melting.

b)

Option 2: Heat energy goes out of an ice cube which results to its melting.

Both options are correct.

d)

Both options are incorrect

10.

Making Inferences: “Inference is an educated guess made through observation.” Which source of heat could explain the melting of glaciers in polar regions such as those in Antarctica and the Arctic Sea?
