Science Notebook: Ask a Testable Question
Name:
Date:
Today I am practising: sorting questions by whether they can be investigated safely
1
Circle the question you could investigate: Which paper towel holds more water?
2
Cross out a question that needs a dangerous or impossible test.
3
Underline what you would compare in a paper-towel question.
4
Write a question about two safe objects.
5
Choose a tool: eyes, ruler, or cup for your question.
6
Tell an adult how you could collect evidence.
- Use only supervised, low-risk classroom or home comparisons.
- Accept interesting broad wonders first, then help narrow just one into an observable question.
- Ask what evidence would answer the question before starting any test.
