A question about temperature, plants, or energy can lead to a simple experiment or a careful observation. Science trivia works best when you pause to think about what evidence might support an answer. For kids ages 5–7, talking about each answer can be more useful than rushing to the score. Ask what they noticed in the question and let them explain their choice in their own words.
If an answer is unexpected, ask what you could observe or test to understand it better. A new science question can be the start of a home or classroom investigation. The sample questions above give you a quick look at the subject before you start. You can also take a different category quiz if another interest catches your eye.
