- Q1Which of the following is an example of making an inference using the scientific method?Noticing that a thermometer shows a high temperature in the summerObserving that plants grow taller when they are given more waterObserving that a basketball bounces higher when it is fully inflatedObserving that the sky is blue during the day30s
- Q2What is an inference in science?A random experiment with no purposeA wild guess without any evidenceA belief that cannot be supported by factsA logical conclusion based on observations and evidence30s
- Q3If a student observes that ice melts faster in sunlight than in the shade, what could be a possible inference?Ice melts faster if it is placed in a freezerSunlight provides heat energy that causes ice to melt fasterIce melts faster if it is left outside for a longer timeIce melts faster in the shade because it is cooler30s
- Q4If a student observes that a magnet attracts paper clips but not glass marbles, what inference can be drawn?All objects are attracted to magnetsMagnets attract objects made of iron or steel, but not objects made of glassMagnets attract objects randomlyGlass marbles have special properties that repel magnets30s
- Q5If a student observes that plants wilt when they are not watered for a long time, what can be inferred from this observation?Plants can survive without water indefinitelyPlants wilt due to lack of sunlightPlants wilt when they are overwateredWater is essential for keeping plants healthy and hydrated30s
- Q6If a student observes that adding salt to ice causes it to melt faster, what inference can be made?Salt lowers the freezing point of iceIce melts faster when it is left aloneSalt has magical properties that melt iceSalt makes ice colder30s
- Q7If a student observes that a metal spoon gets hot when left in a bowl of hot soup, what inference can be made?Metal is a good conductor of heatPlastic spoons conduct heat better than metal spoonsMetal spoons cool down soup fasterThe hot soup has special heat-absorbing properties30s
- Q8If a scientist observes that a plant grows taller when it receives more sunlight, what can the scientist infer?Sunlight is important for the growth of plantsWater is the only factor affecting plant growthPlants grow taller in the darkPlants grow taller at night30s
- Q9If a student observes that putting a plant near a window results in more growth than putting it in a dark corner, what inference can be drawn?Plants grow best in dark cornersPlants need sunlight for photosynthesis and growthHumidity is the key factor for plant growthPlants grow faster with less sunlight30s
- Q10If a student notices that a metal spoon left in a cup of coffee becomes warm, what inference can be drawn?Coffee has special properties that heat up metalMetal is a good conductor of heatPlastic spoons conduct heat better than metal spoonsMetal spoons are better at cooling down drinks30s
