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 man pulls open his car door. The direction of the pull is toward his hand.

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.
Look at each object. For each object, decide if it has that property. A flexible object can be folded or bent without breaking easily. All three objects are flexible. A rough object feels scratchy when you touch it. None of the objects are rough. You can see clearly through a transparent object. None of the objects are...

Fossils
Compare ages of fossils in a rock sequence
A fossil is the preserved evidence of an ancient organism. Some fossils are formed from body parts such as bones or shells. Other fossils, such as footprints or burrows, are formed from traces of an organism's activities. Fossils are typically found in sedimentary rocks. Sedimentary rocks usually form in layers. Over t...
Look again at the fossils in the rock sequence diagram. Compare the positions of these fossils to determine which one is older: The insect fossil is in a deeper layer in the rock sequence than the mammal tooth fossil. So, the insect fossil is most likely older than the mammal tooth fossil.

Identify magnets that attract or repel
Magnets can pull or push on each other without touching. When magnets attract, they pull together. When magnets repel, they push apart. Whether a magnet attracts or repels other magnets depends on the positions of its poles, or ends. Every magnet has two poles: north and south. Here are some examples of magnets. The no...
To predict if these magnets will attract or repel, look at which poles are closest to each other. The north pole of one magnet is closest to the south pole of the other magnet. Opposite poles attract. So, these magnets will attract each other.

A change in an object's temperature indicates a change in the object's thermal energy: An increase in temperature shows that the object's thermal energy increased. So, thermal energy was transferred into the object from its surroundings. A decrease in temperature shows that the object's thermal energy decreased. So, th...
The temperature of each cake decreased, which means that the thermal energy of each cake decreased. So, thermal energy was transferred from each cake to the surroundings.

The passage below describes an experiment. Read the passage and then follow the instructions below. Greta planted 25 tomato seeds one-half inch below the soil surface in each of six pots. Greta added an equal amount of fertilizer to three of the six pots. She placed the pots in a plant growth chamber where all the see...

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...

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 east arrow is pointing. Oklahoma is farthest east.

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...
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 ...

Angiosperm and conifer life cycles
Gymnosperms are plants that have seeds but not flowers. Conifers are a type of a gymnosperm. Instead of flowers, conifers have cones. Conifers use their cones for sexual reproduction. Most conifer trees have both male and female cones. The male cones produce pollen. The female cones produce eggs and a sticky substance ...
Pine seeds can be dispersed, or spread around, by the wind. When the seeds land on the ground, they can germinate and grow into a new plant. Pollen may land on and stick to an unfertilized female cone. But seeds are not dispersed by sticking to female cones.

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. A hard object does not change shape when pressed or squeezed. The tennis ball, the socks, and the stuffed dice are not hard. A stretchy object gets longer when you pull on it. The socks are stretchy, but the kiwi is not. A fuzzy object is covered in ...

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.

To describe the average precipitation trends in Cairo, look at the graph. Choice "Jan" is incorrect. Choice "Mar" is incorrect. Choice "Jul" 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.
