Let's solve this "Inquiry Skills" matching task step by step.

We are given five inquiry skills:
- classify
- measure
- compare
- observe
- predict

And five definitions (meanings) on the right. We need to match each skill with its correct meaning.

---

Step 1: Understand each term



1. Classify
→ To group or sort things based on shared characteristics.
➤ So, it matches: *"To sort things by how they are alike"*

2. Measure
→ To determine size, amount, weight, etc., using tools or units.
➤ So, it matches: *"To find the size or amount of something"*

3. Compare
→ To look at similarities and differences between things.
➤ So, it matches: *"To observe how things are alike or different"*

4. Observe
→ To use your senses (sight, sound, touch, etc.) to gather information.
➤ So, it matches: *"To use senses to learn about something"*

5. Predict
→ To make an educated guess about what will happen in the future.
➤ So, it matches: *"To make a guess about what will happen"*

Final Matching:



Now, let’s match them correctly:

| Inquiry Skill | Meaning |
|---------------|--------|
| classify | To sort things by how they are alike |
| measure | To find the size or amount of something |
| compare | To observe how things are alike or different |
| observe | To use senses to learn about something |
| predict | To make a guess about what will happen |

---

Answer Layout (for the worksheet):



From top to bottom (left column), fill in:

1. classify → "To sort things by how they are alike"
2. compare → "To observe how things are alike or different"
3. observe → "To use senses to learn about something"
4. predict → "To make a guess about what will happen"
5. measure → "To find the size or amount of something"

> ⚠️ Note: The order of the green boxes is: classify, measure, compare, observe, predict — but the meanings are listed in a different order. So we must match them correctly regardless of position.

So the correct drag-and-drop is:

- First blank (top): classify → "To sort things by how they are alike"
- Second blank: compare → "To observe how things are alike or different"
- Third blank: observe → "To use senses to learn about something"
- Fourth blank: predict → "To make a guess about what will happen"
- Fifth blank: measure → "To find the size or amount of something"

That completes the task!
