Today is the 4th of July, and Sammie's dad celebrated with fireworks. He lit them in the yard for everyone to see. His dad asks them if the changes made to the fireworks can be reversed or not. Sammie says the changes cannot be reversed, and his dad says the changes can be reversed. How can Sammie's dad prove the changes can be reversed?

If Sammie's father wants to prove that he can reverse the changes to the fireworks, then he would need to return them to their original state. He needs to reverse anything that has been done to them in the process of lighting them or during the explosion.

Heating and cooling is a process that can be reversed. I melted a popsicle and then put the popsicle back in the freezer, and it froze into a solid popsicle again. I did this multiple times, and it always worked. This is an argument based on evidence.

Three of the arguments listed include no evidence or personal opinion. The only statement that is based on scientific data or evidence is, "Some changes made to materials by heating or cooling them can be reversed. If you melt an ice cube, you can refreeze it, and it will be a solid again.". This statement mentions an example of an experiment that can be conducted, and evidence can be collected.

I melted a crayon and then put the crayon in the refrigerator, and it did not form back into the crayon shape, just a hard pile of colored wax. I did this multiple times, and it always happened the same way. I think heating can be reversed. This is an argument based on evidence.

Becca says that some heating changes can be reversed. She gives the example of melting butter. She says that you can turn a solid piece of butter into a liquid and then turn it back to a solid. Her friend Melva disagrees and says butter cannot be changed back and forth.
Is this an argument that can be settled with evidence?

This is an argument that could be settled with evidence. The girls are arguing if heating and cooling is a process that can be reversed with butter as an example. The girls could test the butter by melting it and seeing if they can turn it back to solids. They could collect information during the investigation to help decide who is correct.

Annie and Patrick could use any of the answer choices to determine who is correct. They could perform an investigation or experiment and collect information. They also can research heating and cooling changes to determine if someone else has discovered an answer to their question. All of these actions could help the siblings collect evidence about the topic.
