Read the prompt. Answer the question.
Two friends put a bowl of very cold water outside on a hot sunny
day. The Sun warmed the water. They wondered about the energy
of the water. This is what they thought:
Ted: “The very cold water had energy. The Sun provided
additional energy to warm the water.”
Amber: “The very cold water did not have energy. The
energy in the warm water came from the Sun.”
1. Which friend has the best idea? Explain why you agree with
one friend and not the other.

Read the prompt. Pick which statement would be your hypothesis
1. Christine put 5 ice cubes in a glass. Twenty minutes later
most of the ice had melted to form “ice water.” There were
still some small pieces of ice floating in the water. She
measured the temperature, then added 5 more ice cubes
to the glass. She measured the temperature three
minutes later.
A. The temperature of the “ice water” increased.
B. The temperature of the “ice water” decreased.
C. The temperature of the “ice water” stayed the same.
2. Explain what happens to the temperature when more
ice is added.
