About Testing

Testing is how we can find out if something is true. We don't really know anything until we test it. You might think you are the fastest in class, but until you all have a race together, you don't know.

Examples

If you wanted to know which strings make a deep sound, the thick ones or the thin ones you could do an experiment by plucking each string and listening carefully.

If you want to know if an egg is rotten you can test it by smelling the egg.

If you want to know who can run the fastest you will test how fast each person can run by doing a race.

Used in a Sentence
