At ages 9–10 the how and why arrive: forces, states of matter and food chains. Science stops being facts and starts being explanations.

What the questions look like

Three examples at the ages 9–10 level. In BrainBite, every question comes with an instant explanation.

Ice melting is a change from … to …

Solid to liquid. Melting = solid → liquid. Evaporating = liquid → gas. Freezing = liquid → solid.

In a food chain, what do the arrows show?

Who is eaten by whom. The arrow points from food to eater: grass → rabbit → fox. Energy flows along the arrows.

Which force slows a rolling bike down?

Friction. Friction between tires and road, plus air resistance. No friction, no stopping.
