Force and motion
Identify directions of forces
A force is a push or a pull that one object applies to another. Every force has a direction. The direction of a push is away from the object that is pushing. The direction of a pull is toward the object that is pulling.
The girl pushes the window open. The direction of the push is away from her hands.

Scientific names
Use scientific names to classify organisms
Scientists use scientific names to identify organisms. Scientific names are made of two words. The first word in an organism's scientific name tells you the organism's genus. A genus is a group of organisms that share many traits. A genus is made up of one or more species. A species is a group of very similar organisms...
An Iberian lynx's scientific name is Lynx pardinus. Felis nigripes does not have the same scientific name as an Iberian lynx. So, Lynx pardinus and Felis nigripes are not in the same species. Lynx pardinus has the same scientific name as an Iberian lynx. So, these organisms are in the same species. Felis silvestris doe...

Maps
Use lines of latitude and longitude
Lines of latitude and lines of longitude are imaginary lines drawn on some globes and maps. They can help you find places on globes and maps. Lines of latitude show how far north or south a place is. We use units called degrees to describe how far a place is from the equator. The equator is the line located at 0° latit...
The equator is the line at 0° latitude. It intersects South America. It does not intersect Europe or Australia.

Classification
Identify mammals, birds, fish, reptiles, and amphibians
Birds, mammals, fish, reptiles, and amphibians are groups of animals. Scientists sort animals into each group based on traits they have in common. This process is called classification. Classification helps scientists learn about how animals live. Classification also helps scientists compare similar animals.
A fruit bat is a mammal. It has hair and feeds its young milk. Fruit bats eat fruit and drink nectar from flowers. They have special teeth to help them bite through fruit skins. An emu is a bird. It has feathers, two wings, and a beak. Emus cannot fly, but they can run very fast. They run to avoid predators. A barn owl...

Analyze data to compare properties of planets
A planet's volume tells you the size of the planet. The primary composition of a planet is what the planet is made mainly of. In our solar system, planets are made mainly of rock, gas, or ice.
To determine if this statement is true, calculate the value of 50% of Jupiter's volume by multiplying Jupiter's volume by 0.5. Then compare the result to the volume of Saturn. The volume of Saturn is 827,130 billion km^3, which is more than 715,640 billion km^3. So, Saturn's volume is more than 50% of Jupiter's volume.

Read a map: cardinal directions
Maps have four cardinal directions, or main directions. Those directions are north, south, east, and west. A compass rose is a set of arrows that point to the cardinal directions. A compass rose usually shows only the first letter of each cardinal direction. The north arrow points to the North Pole. On most maps, north...
To find the answer, look at the compass rose. Look at which way the north arrow is pointing. Pennsylvania is farthest north.

Identify how particle motion affects temperature and pressure
The temperature of a substance depends on the average kinetic energy of the particles in the substance. The higher the average kinetic energy of the particles, the higher the temperature of the substance. The kinetic energy of a particle is determined by its mass and speed. For a pure substance, the greater the mass of...
Each particle in sample B has more mass than each particle in sample A. The particles in sample B also have a higher average speed than the particles in sample A. So, the particles in sample B have a higher average kinetic energy than the particles in sample A. Because the particles in sample B have the higher average ...
