This organism is Rangifer tarandus. It is a member of the animal kingdom. Rangifer tarandus is commonly called a reindeer. Both male and female reindeer grow large antlers on their heads. Each year, reindeer naturally shed their antlers. The antlers usually fall off in the spring or summer. Then, over the next three to...

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...
A black howler's scientific name is Alouatta caraya. Ovis canadensis does not have the same scientific name as a black howler. So, Alouatta caraya and Ovis canadensis are not in the same species. Alouatta caraya has the same scientific name as a black howler. So, these organisms are in the same species. Lontra canadens...

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. The shape of an animal's feet is one example of an adaptation. Animals' feet can be adapted in different ways. For example, webbed feet might help an animal swim. Feet with thick fur m...
Look at the picture of the Atlantic puffin. The Atlantic puffin has webbed feet. Its feet are adapted for swimming. As it swims, the Atlantic puffin uses its webbed feet to push itself through water. Now look at each animal. Figure out which animal has a similar adaptation. The lava gull has webbed feet. Its feet are a...

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...

Particle motion and energy
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...
The particles in both samples have the same average speed, but each particle in sample B has more mass than each particle 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 kinetic energy, sample B mus...

This passage describes the shell banding trait in Cepaea snails: Cepaea snails live on land in many parts of Europe. The shells of Cepaea snails can have different colors and patterns. Banded shells have dark bands, or stripes, that spiral around their surfaces. Unbanded shells do not have bands. In a group of Cepaea s...

Genes to traits
Use Punnett squares to calculate probabilities of offspring types
Offspring genotypes: homozygous or heterozygous? How do you determine whether an organism is homozygous or heterozygous for a gene? Look at the alleles in the organism's genotype for that gene. An organism with two identical alleles for a gene is homozygous for that gene. If both alleles are dominant, the organism is h...
