Nia's Rock Test

Snow lines the town park paths. Nia wants a warmer rock for a sitting spot. She tests two matching flat rocks on bare ground. Both start equally cold. One sits in sunlight. One sits in shade. After 20 minutes, an adult checks each surface with a thermometer. The sun rock got warmer. The shade rock stayed as cold as before.

1.
Which choice best fits Nia's plan?
  • A. The shade rock, because shade warmed its surface.
  • B. The sun rock, because its surface got warmer.
  • C. Either rock, because both surfaces warmed equally.
  • D. Neither rock, because neither surface could warm.
