Magnets can pull or push on each other without touching. When magnets attract, they pull together. When magnets repel, they push apart.

Distance affects the strength of the magnetic force. But the distance between the magnets in Pair 1 and in Pair 2 is the same. So, the strength of the magnetic force is the same in both pairs.

Plants
Describe and construct conifer life cycles
Conifers are plants that grow cones. Conifers use their cones to reproduce, or make new plants like themselves. How do conifers use their cones to reproduce? Conifers can grow male and female cones. Male cones make pollen, and female cones make eggs. Pollination is what happens when wind blows pollen from male cones on...
A seed can germinate and grow into a new plant. The new plant can grow male cones and pollen. But a seed does not grow into a male cone or pollen.

Magnets
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 south pole of one magnet is closest to the north pole of the other magnet. Opposite poles attract. So, these magnets will attract each other.

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.
An ostrich is a bird. It has feathers, two wings, and a beak. The ostrich is the largest bird alive today. Ostriches cannot fly, but they can run very fast. A tiger shark is a fish. It lives underwater. It has fins, not limbs. Tiger sharks are nocturnal. This means that they are active mostly at night.

Evaluate tests of engineering-design solutions
People can use the engineering-design process to develop solutions to problems. One step in the process is testing if a potential solution meets the requirements of the design. How can you determine what a test can show? You need to figure out what was tested and what was measured. Imagine an engineer needs to design a...

Classification and 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 crown-of-thorns sea star's scientific name is Acanthaster planci. Acanthaster planci has the same scientific name as a crown-of-thorns sea star. So, these organisms are in the same species. Eriocheir sinensis does not have the same scientific name as a crown-of-thorns sea star. So, Acanthaster planci and Eriocheir si...

Adaptations
Animal adaptations: beaks, mouths, and necks
An adaptation is an inherited trait that helps an organism survive or reproduce. Adaptations can include both body parts and behaviors. The shape of a bird's beak is one example of an adaptation. Birds' beaks can be adapted in different ways. For example, a sharp hooked beak might help a bird tear through meat easily. ...
Look at the picture of the broad-tailed hummingbird. The broad-tailed hummingbird has a long, thin beak. Its beak is adapted to get nectar out of long flowers. The broad-tailed hummingbird's long, thin beak can reach deep into the flowers. Now look at each bird. Figure out which bird has a similar adaptation. The bronz...

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 the two samples has the same mass, but the particles in sample A have a higher average speed than the particles 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, sampl...
