Science practice for ages 8–9

At ages 8–9 science is discovery: living things, materials and simple experiments you can try at home. Curiosity in, understanding out.

What the questions look like

Three examples at the ages 8–9 level. In BrainBite, every question comes with an instant explanation.

Water from the tap is a solid, liquid or gas?

Liquid. It flows and takes the shape of its container. That's a liquid.

What do plants need to grow?

Light and water. Plus air and nutrients. Try it: one plant in the light, one in the dark.

Which material sticks to a magnet: wood, iron or glass?

Iron. Magnets attract iron and steel, but not all metals, and never wood or glass.
