Step 1: Identify Each Item

Here are the 12 images shown on the worksheet (in order from top to bottom, left to right):

1. Cherries – fruit
2. Microscope – used in science labs
3. Thermometer – measures temperature
4. Erlenmeyer flask – lab glassware
5. Test tube – used in experiments
6. Candle and stand – often used in chemistry experiments
7. Ruler – measuring tool
8. Boy with a cup – not a tool
9. Dice – game item
10. Cupcake – food
11. Safety goggles – protective equipment in science
12. Fox – animal
13. Balance scale – measures mass

Step 2: Determine Which Are Science Tools

Now let’s classify each:

1. Cherries → ✘ Not a science tool (food)
2. Microscope → ✔ Science tool (used to view small objects)
3. Thermometer → ✔ Science tool (measures temperature)
4. Erlenmeyer flask → ✔ Science tool (lab glassware)
5. Test tube → ✔ Science tool (used for mixing chemicals)
6. Candle and stand → ✔ Science tool (often used in experiments like combustion)
7. Ruler → ✔ Science tool (measures length)
8. Boy with a cup → ✘ Not a science tool (person, not a tool)
9. Dice → ✘ Not a science tool (game item)
10. Cupcake → ✘ Not a science tool (food)
11. Safety goggles → ✔ Science tool (safety equipment in labs)
12. Fox → ✘ Not a science tool (animal)
13. Balance scale → ✔ Science tool (measures mass)

Final Answer:

#### Circle these (Science Tools):
- Microscope
- Thermometer
- Erlenmeyer flask
- Test tube
- Candle and stand
- Ruler
- Safety goggles
- Balance scale

#### Draw an "X" through these (Not Science Tools):
- Cherries
- Boy with a cup
- Dice
- Cupcake
- Fox

✔ Summary:

- Science tools: 8 items
- Not science tools: 5 items

This helps students learn to distinguish between tools used in science and everyday objects.
