Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. To get from home to school, you would usually take which of the following vehicles (which creates a new term if added after "school")?

Answer: Bus

A school bus, which is typically bright yellow in color, is the vehicle in which most children ride to go to school every day. This characteristic color helps drivers and pedestrians clearly see the bus and recognize that there are probably children inside.

They help millions of children get to school and back home and help the environment since they can transport multiple children who would otherwise have to be driven by their parents in individual cars.
2. If you arrive at school on a rainy day, you are likely to be wearing which of the following items, one that you could hang when you walk into the classroom?

Answer: Raincoat

A raincoat is a piece of clothing made with special materials that repel water and help keep you dry. Since many jackets and sweaters are made with cotton, which easily absorbs water, they can be uncomfortable to wear in heavy rain because of how wet and heavy they could get! This is why raincoats are a great option for rainy days, in addition to boots and umbrellas.
3. Which of the following parts of your body is the first half of a compound word that ends in "pack", forming an object that helps you take your stuff from one place to another?

Answer: Back

A backpack is one of the most helpful items in a student's life! It helps them carry their books, writing utensils, and any other things that they need for their schoolwork. They can come in many different shapes, though one of the most popular is the two-strap model that goes around each shoulder. Be careful not to overload it though, since carrying too much weight can cause back problems in the long run.

In fact, recent studies have suggested that children's spines can be at risk if they carry too much weight on a daily basis.
4. Which of the following writing utensils can form a new word when added before "case", creating a handy container for your writing instruments?

Answer: Pencil

A pencil is an essential instrument to take to school. They are often preferred over pens because they can be more easily erased should you make a mistake when writing something. Pencils are commonly made out of graphite and have a little eraser attached to them.

A pencil case allows students to carry their pencils, coloring pencils, pens, and markers in one convenient vessel. They come in all sorts of shapes and colors so there's one for everybody!
5. If your teacher told the class you needed to write something down, which of the following "books" would you most likely retrieve?

Answer: Notebook

A notebook is an essential part of a student's daily life. Students often have several notebooks to cover their different subjects, though some prefer to use one notebook for several subjects or attach loose sheets into binders. Even though technology has made students prefer their laptops as a notetaking tool, studies have repeatedly shown that writing by hand can enhance retention of content in a much better way than laptops, since students tend to write everything they hear on their computers whereas they can write less on their notebooks, which means they will focus on the most important aspects of the content.
6. Playing sports at school can be a fun way to unwind from a busy day. Which of the following sports, formerly played by Michael Jordan, is a common activity for children at school?

Answer: Basketball

Basketball is a popular sport that involves dribbling a ball and trying to score as many points as possible. Many school playgrounds, particularly in the United States, have basketball courts available for children to practice this sport. Some of the most famous athletes to have played this sport include Michael Jordan, Kobe Bryant, and LeBron James.
7. Some classrooms have fish in them to help children learn about them and care for them. Which of these colors would you place before "fish" to create an aquatic animal? (also the name of a snack)

Answer: Gold

The goldfish is a small fish that is commonly kept as a pet in both homes and classrooms. There are several different varieties of goldfish but most of them have the same gold/orange color. Goldfish are useful not only as pretty pets to take care of, but they can also help control pests because they eat mosquitoes.

"Goldfish" is also the name of a popular snack food named like this because the crackers are shaped like fish. They come in flavors like cheddar, parmesan, and ranch.
8. If your teacher wants you to learn how to use old-fashioned mail, he or she might ask you to write which of the following "cards"?

Answer: Postcard

Postcards are typically rectangular-shaped cardboard pieces with two sides: one with a photograph or image and the other with blank space available to write. Before technological advances like e-mail and social media, postcards were a popular way to communicate for people living in different cities or countries. Sending a postcard is very easy: you choose one with an image you like, then write a message, and send it through a post office once you put a stamp on the card.
9. In which of the following "boxes" are you most likely to carry food to eat during recess time at school?

Answer: Lunchbox

Lunchboxes come in all sorts of fun designs for children to pick. They are handy vessels in which students can take their food from home to eat at school. Many of them are equipped with special materials that help keep food or drink cool so that they can be enjoyed even hours after being prepared.

Many schools have special shelves for lunchboxes either inside or outside the classroom. They may also have lockers available for students to store their lunchboxes while they are in class.
10. If your teachers want you to think of as many ideas as possible, they might ask you to create a mind map or word web connecting your thoughts. Which human organ's name is used to describe this activity, referred to as a "storm"?

Answer: Brain

Brainstorming is one of the best ways to come up with ideas, especially when you have writer's block and can't think of anything. There are many methods of brainstorming, one of the most common being a mind-map or word web where you can create relationships between different terms or concepts.

The human brain is a powerful organ that oversees the most important functions of life, such as thinking, seeing, and remembering.
