RETURN TO AGENCY HQ              EXIT AGENCY

 

Could you be the next SECRET SCIENCE AGENT? 

Test your skills here:

Question 1:  If you mix a spoonful of baking soda and a spoonful of vinegar in a glass, the mixture will:


A.  Bubble and fizz, because a gas has been created.
B.  Turn green.
C.  Freeze into a solid.

 

Question 2:  If you shake up a can of soda pop, it will: 
(Note to agents:  do this experiment outside!)

 

A.  Turn into slime.
B.  Change into ice cubes.
C.  Make bubbles that will fizz out when you open the top (or maybe even explode!).

 

Question 3:  If you add water to a dry, solid bar of soap, it will:

 

A. Sprout legs and walk away.
B. Become very slippery, because the water has combined with the solid soap to create liquid soap.
C. Turn into cottage cheese.

 

Question 4:  If you combine oil and water in a glass:

A. They will mix together permanently so you can't tell which is which.
B. The mixture will turn into a meatball.
C. They will sort of mix together, but then separate out again so that you can tell them apart.

 

And finally, a science riddle:  I'm a solid in the freezer, a liquid on the counter, and a gas on the hot stove.  You can find me in the ocean and in lakes and streams.  What am I?
