A first look
This shelf is still being planted — the questions are being written and checked. Come back soon. A Skill needs at least 5 checked questions before it opens here.
Question 1 of 3
Which of these objects can be stretched most easily?
Question 2 of 3
Mia has three solid objects: 1) a ball of soft modeling clay, 2) a short piece of dry spaghetti, 3) a thin rubber ribbon. She tries to change each one: - She presses the clay flat with her hand. - She tries to bend the spaghetti into a curve. - She pulls the rubber ribbon to make it longer. Which description correctly tells what happens to each object?
Question 3 of 3
You have a soft clay cube. You want to change it into a thin, curly worm shape (a long rope that is spiraled). Which sequence of shape‑changing actions will let you do this, using each of the four ways – squashing, bending, twisting, and stretching – exactly once?
