Compare magnitudes of magnetic forces
Magnets can pull or push on each other without touching. When magnets attract, they pull together. When magnets repel, they push apart. These pulls and pushes between magnets are called magnetic forces. The strength of a force is called its magnitude. The greater the magnitude of the magnetic force between two magnets,...
Magnet sizes affect the magnitude of the magnetic force. Imagine magnets that are the same shape and made of the same material. The larger the magnets, the greater the magnitude of the magnetic force between them. Magnet A is the same size in both pairs. But Magnet B is larger in Pair 2 than in Pair 1. So, the magnitud...

The temperature of a substance depends on the average kinetic energy of the particles in the substance.

For a pure substance, the greater the mass of...
The particles in both samples have the same average speed, but each particle in sample A has more mass than each particle in sample B. So, the particles in sample A have a higher average kinetic energy than the particles in sample B. Because the particles in sample A have the higher average kinetic energy, sample A mus...

Identify multiple materials in objects
A material is a type of matter. Wood, glass, metal, and plastic are common materials. Some objects are made of just one material. Most nails are made of metal. Other objects are made of more than one material. This hammer is made of metal and wood.
Look at the picture of the binder. The binder is made of two different materials. The cover is made of plastic, and the rings are made of metal.

Compare properties of objects
An object has different properties. A property of an object can tell you how it looks, feels, tastes, or smells. Properties can also tell you how an object will behave when something happens to it. Different objects can have properties in common. You can use these properties to put objects into groups. Grouping objects...
Look at each object. For each object, decide if it has that property. Sugar has a sweet taste. The balloon is not sweet. A stretchy object gets longer when you pull on it. All four objects are stretchy. You can see clearly through a transparent object. The rubber toys, the balloon, and the spring are not transparent. T...

Designing experiments
Identify the experimental question
Experiments can be designed to answer specific questions. How can you identify the questions that a certain experiment can answer? In order to do this, you need to figure out what was tested and what was measured during the experiment. Imagine an experiment with two groups of daffodil plants. One group of plants was gr...

Ecosystems
Interpret food webs
A food web is a model. Models can make things in nature easier to understand. Models can be simpler than the things they represent. A food web is a model that shows where living things in an ecosystem get their food. If a food web showed every living thing in an ecosystem, the food web would be hard to understand. So, ...
Producers make their own food. They do not eat other living things. So, there are no arrows in a food web that point from other living things to producers. The phytoplankton does not have any arrows pointing to it. So, the phytoplankton is a producer. The zooplankton has an arrow pointing to it from the phytoplankton. ...

Adaptations
Animal adaptations: feet and limbs
An adaptation is an inherited trait that helps an organism survive or reproduce. Adaptations can include both body parts and behaviors. Arms, legs, flippers, and wings are different types of limbs. The type of limbs an animal has is an example of an adaptation. Animals' limbs can be adapted in different ways. For examp...
Look at the picture of the flamingo. Long legs help the flamingo keep its body above the surface of the water while wading. Thin legs are easier to move through the water. Now look at each animal. Figure out which animal has a similar adaptation. The hammerkop has long, thin legs. Its legs are adapted for wading. The f...
