1. Which step of the scientific method comes AFTER you form a hypothesis?

   1. Conducting the experiment
   2. Asking a question
   3. Making observations
   4. Writing the conclusion

2. You want AI to help you figure out what could affect your plant growth experiment. What should you ask AI to help with?

   1. Writing your conclusion
   2. Choosing what colors to paint your poster
   3. Identifying variables to control
   4. Designing your science fair booth

3. A classmate says, 'AI did my whole science project for me.' Based on what you learned, what's wrong with that statement?

   1. AI cannot actually help with any science project steps
   2. The student should also do the actual experiment and observations themselves
   3. AI is only useful for math, not science
   4. Science projects don't need hypotheses

4. Which of these is something the lesson says AI can help a young scientist do?

   1. Grade other students' projects
   2. Write a hypothesis for their experiment
   3. Do the experiment while they watch TV
   4. Build the experiment equipment

5. After completing your experiment and collecting results, which part of your project would you most likely ask AI to help with?

   1. The conclusion section
   2. The hypothesis section
   3. The materials list
   4. The title

6. What does it mean to 'control variables' in an experiment?

   1. Keep everything the same except the one thing you're testing
   2. Let your pet play with your experiment materials
   3. Make your experiment as complicated as you can
   4. Change as many things as possible during your test

7. Your teacher asks you to pick a science fair project. Based on the lesson, how could AI help?

   1. By building your project display board
   2. By doing the experiment for you while you sleep
   3. By telling you the answers before you start
   4. By suggesting project ideas you could try at home

8. Why is it important for YOU to make observations during your science experiment, not just let AI do it?

   1. You learn by seeing things happen yourself and noticing details
   2. AI cannot physically be at your experiment location
   3. Observations are not part of real science
   4. Scientists never write down observations

9. Which of these best describes what the lesson says about AI's role in science projects?

   1. AI is only useful after the project is done
   2. AI replaces the student completely
   3. AI is a helpful partner throughout the project
   4. AI should never be used for science projects

10. You want to ask AI for help writing your conclusion. What information should you provide to AI?

    1. Your friend's project results
    2. Your favorite colors and foods
    3. Your experiment results and what you observed
    4. A made-up story about your project

11. In the scientific method, what is a hypothesis?

    1. An educated guess about what will happen
    2. The materials you use
    3. A summary of what you learned
    4. The final answer to all questions

12. Based on the lesson, which statement about science fair projects is true?

    1. Kids should let AI do all the work so they get a good grade
    2. AI cannot help with science projects
    3. Kids should do experiments themselves with AI helping plan and write
    4. Kids don't need to understand their own experiments

13. Your experiment showed that plants with more sunlight grew taller, but your hypothesis said they would be shorter. What should you do?

    1. Lie about your results
    2. Write a conclusion explaining what you observed and what it means
    3. Change your results to match your hypothesis
    4. Throw away your experiment and start over

14. Which example from the lesson shows AI helping with the very first step of starting a science project?

    1. 'Help me figure out what variables to control'
    2. 'Help me write a hypothesis for my plant growth experiment'
    3. 'Suggest 5 science fair projects a 4th grader could do at home'
    4. 'Help me write the conclusion section based on my results'

15. Why should you NOT just copy what AI writes for your science project without understanding it?

    1. Because teachers can tell when AI writes things
    2. Because AI always makes up fake information
    3. Because copying is fun but not educational
    4. Because you won't learn the science yourself and you should understand your own project
