Fizzling — Color, Temperature & Reaction Clues Colorflash Gallery

Hi!

I'm Fizzling.

Welcome to Colorflash Gallery!

Will you help me investigate color, temperature & reaction clues?

The Grumblies have mixed up our clues.

Let's check the evidence!

Color and temperature changes can be clues about a reaction.

Mixing colored materials or heating externally can produce similar observations

without proving new substances formed.

Does color change alone prove a reaction?

  • A. Only if the color is blue
  • B. No
  • C. Yes

The answer is B: No

Color and temperature changes can be clues about a reaction.

Mixing colored materials or heating externally can produce similar observations

without proving new substances formed.

That clue helps us make sense of this place.

Controls and multiple observations strengthen an explanation.

Ask what changed, what stayed the same

and whether a new substance is supported.

Why use a control comparison?

  • A. To test alternative explanations
  • B. To force every trial to be identical in outcome
  • C. To remove the need for evidence

The answer is A: To test alternative explanations

Controls and multiple observations strengthen an explanation.

Ask what changed, what stayed the same

and whether a new substance is supported.

Hmm...

how does that connect to our first clue?

Our records compare adding blue coloring to water with a

documented new solid forming in another mixture.

Color alone is weaker evidence than the new-substance record.

Which record has stronger new-substance evidence?

  • A. Blue coloring simply spreading
  • B. The change in the chart's title
  • C. The documented new solid

The answer is C: The documented new solid

Our records compare adding blue coloring to water with a

documented new solid forming in another mixture.

Color alone is weaker evidence than the new-substance record.

Nice investigating!

You've been following the evidence.
