Test a tool

1. Luca and Maya are curious. Lily uses a magnifying glass to look at bugs. Does the tool do its job?

   • It only works in rain
   • Yes, it helps see small things (right)
   • No, it makes bugs go away

2. Jonah wonders: Mia uses a flashlight to find her lost toy under the couch. Does the flashlight help do its job?

   • Yes, it makes toys float
   • It works better with wind
   • Yes, it shows dark places (right)

3. In science class, Ines asks: A student uses a string to pull a toy across the floor. Does the string do its job?

Tip: To test a tool, use it in a real way and see if it works well for its job. A tool is tested by seeing if it does what it was built to do.
