Science Experiments Final Test Worksheet
What you do (Find the experiment, use the idea): 1. Read the question and find its experiment. 2. Use that experiment’s science idea. 3. For a fair test: one thing changed, the rest kept the same, one thing measured. 4. For safety: an adult helps, nothing goes in the mouth, no heat, sharp tools or plug points for children.
