The statement presented in the question is false. You can take an object, break it into small pieces, and then put it back together to create something new. If you were to build a castle with blocks, you could knock it down and build something else instead. This is a simple example of making something new out of the pieces of something else.

The term disassemble means to take something apart. In this case, the child is taking apart a tower that has already been built to make something new. Objects can be disassembled, and their parts use for other projects.

Jessica created a robot picture out of broken materials and pieces of something larger broken down into smaller bits. Some of the answer choices are personal opinion rather than evidence-based, and others are incorrect statements. "This is an example of creating something new out of the smaller pieces of a larger object." is a true and accurate statement and based on evidence from the information provided.

Creating an evidence-based statement or account means that no personal opinion or thought can be included, and it must be able to be supported by an investigation or experiment. The answer choice that is based on evidence and observation is, "Building blocks are individual pieces but can be put together and taken apart to make something new." This is something that could be tested and also has no personal thoughts or opinions included.

Personal opinion statements will include thoughts and feelings from the author. "Artists love to make mosaic pieces of artwork." is a statement that provides for individual ideas and makes a sweeping statement that "artists love to make mosaics." This is not something that can be proved scientifically and is just one person's opinion.

The following statement is based on evidence. " I observed an artist ripping up a newspaper and dipping it into a mixture of liquids. She then laid it carefully around an inflated balloon and left it to harden. When she finished, she popped the balloon and peeled it off the newspaper. It left behind a solid bowl."

This statement is accurate and based on evidence. There is no personal opinion or description of the bowl besides scientific observation. Had the author included information like "the bowl was beautiful" or "the artist was very talented." then personal thoughts would be integrated and no longer allow this to be completely evidence-based on observation.

Mike uses building blocks to make a racecar, track, and bleachers for viewers. He tears it down and decides to make a castle and drawbridge for his next creation.
Based on this information, Mike is breaking apart a whole object and using the pieces to make something new.

Mike is indeed using pieces of a whole to create something new. He has broken the racetrack, car, and bleachers up, and is using the same blocks to make a building. Disassembling something is possible to create something new.

Jessica created a robot picture out of broken materials and pieces of something larger broken down into smaller bits. Some of the answer choices are evidence-based, while one is a personal opinion. "While cutting up the tinfoil, Jessica cut her finger, and it hurt very badly." includes a personal opinion. It may be factual that she cut her finger, but the degree of pain felt is an opinion and subjective for each person.

Jackie says that she can take a piece of paper, cut it into tiny shapes, and put it back together again to make something new. Her friend Amanda said that isn't possible and once the paper has been cut it is ruined.
Who is correct and why?

In this scenario, Jackie is correct, and Amanda is wrong. Objects can be disassembled or broken apart to form new objects. In the case of a piece of paper, it is much like a puzzle, the pieces can be put back together to reform the paper, or they can be formed into something new by changing their order.

The photo of the mosaic artwork is a perfect example of making something new out of the small pieces of another object. Artists will take small pieces of tile, glass, or other materials and put them together to make a new creation. It is possible to disassemble something and create something new!

Tabitha's teacher has not given her an impossible task. This is something that can be done because larger objects can be broken down into smaller pieces and then be made into something new. Tabitha could take the cube apart and put the cubes back together in a different order, which would make something unique.

The photo that represents an object being broken down into smaller pieces to make something new is the pizza. The individual ingredients are added to make the entire pizza. Olives are cut up, tomatoes crushed, peppers cut, etc. to be added onto the crust and baked. This is an example of something new being created from the smaller pieces of objects being broken up.
