Classroom Review Maze
Students navigate a turn-based maze and clear 10 quiz orbs. The mixed science questions include asking a scientific question, forming a hypothesis, choosing a measuring tool, and identifying an independent variable.

Questions and observations
An investigation begins with an observation that leads to a focused question that evidence can address.
Testable hypotheses
A hypothesis is a testable explanation or prediction, not simply a guess or a proven fact.
Variables and measurement
Identify what changes, what is measured, and what stays controlled so results can be interpreted fairly.
Data and conclusions
Organize results, look for patterns, and decide whether the evidence supports the hypothesis; unexpected results can lead to revision and repeated testing.
Try This in Class
Before selecting an answer at each science quiz orb, ask a pair to name the evidence or lab example that supports its choice. Finish by having students write one testable question and identify its independent variable.
