Use climate data to make predictions
Scientists record climate data from places around the world. Precipitation, or rain and snow, is one type of climate data. Scientists collect data over many years. They can use this data to calculate the average precipitation for each month. The average precipitation can be used to describe the climate of a location. A...
To describe the average precipitation trends in Cairo, look at the graph. Choice "Jan" is incorrect. Choice "Jul" is incorrect. Choice "Sep" is incorrect. January has an average monthly precipitation of about 15 millimeters. This is higher than in any other month. So, January is the wettest month on average.

Describe ecosystems
An environment includes all of the biotic, or living, and abiotic, or nonliving, things in an area. An ecosystem is created by the relationships that form among the biotic and abiotic parts of an environment. There are many different types of terrestrial, or land-based, ecosystems. Here are some ways in which terrestri...
A taiga is a type of ecosystem. Taigas have the following features: long, cold winters and short, cool summers, many evergreen trees, and soil that is poor in nutrients.

Classification
Identify mammals, birds, fish, reptiles, and amphibians
Birds, mammals, fish, reptiles, and amphibians are groups of animals. The animals in each group have traits in common. Scientists sort animals into groups based on traits they have in common. This process is called classification.
A bison is a mammal. It has fur and feeds its young milk. Male bison have horns. They can use their horns to defend themselves. A great white shark is a fish. It lives underwater. It has fins, not limbs. Great white sharks can live for up to 70 years.

Distance affects the magnitude of the magnetic force. When there is a smaller distance between magnets, the magnitude of the magnetic force between them is greater. There is a smaller distance between the magnets in Pair 2 than in Pair 1. So, the magnitude of the magnetic force is greater in Pair 2 than in Pair 1.

Scientists record climate data from places around the world. Precipitation, or rain and snow, is one type of climate data. A bar graph can be used to show the average amount of precipitation each month. Months with taller bars have more precipitation on average.
To describe the average precipitation trends in Santiago, look at the graph. Choice "Jun" is incorrect. Choice "Aug" is incorrect. Choice "Oct" is incorrect. June has an average monthly precipitation of about 80 millimeters. This is higher than in any other month. So, June has the highest average precipitation.
