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. ...

States of matter
Classify matter as solid, liquid, or gas
Solid, liquid, and gas are states of matter. Matter is anything that takes up space. Matter can come in different states, or forms. When matter is a solid, it has a definite volume and a definite shape. So, a solid has a size and shape of its own. Some solids can be easily folded, bent, or broken. A piece of paper is a...
Water droplets are a liquid. A liquid takes the shape of any container it is in. If you collect water droplets in a bucket, they will take the shape of the bucket. But the water droplets will still take up the same amount of space.

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 an animal's neck is one example of an adaptation. Animals' necks can be adapted in different ways. For example, a large frilled neck might help an animal appear dangerous ...
Look at the picture of the gerenuk. Now look at each animal. Figure out which animal has a similar adaptation. The dromedary camel has a long neck. Its neck is adapted for reaching high branches. The warthog has a short neck. Its neck is not adapted for reaching high branches. The warthog eats grasses, roots, and bulbs...

Ecosystems
Describe ecosystems
An ecosystem is formed when living and nonliving things interact in an environment. There are many types of ecosystems. Here are some ways in which ecosystems can differ from each other: the pattern of weather, or climate the type of soil or water the organisms that live there
A wetland is a type of ecosystem. Wetlands have the following features: land that is covered with water during most of the year, soil that is rich in nutrients, and other water ecosystems nearby. So, Scarborough Marsh has soil that is rich in nutrients. It also has other water ecosystems nearby.

Identify and compare air masses
To study air masses, scientists can use maps that show conditions within Earth's atmosphere. For example, the map below uses color to show specific humidity, a measurement of the amount of water vapor in the air. The map's legend tells you the specific humidity level that each color represents. Colors on the left in th...
Look at the colors shown within the outlined area. Then, use the legend to determine which specific humidity levels those colors represent. The legend tells you that this air mass contained air with specific humidity levels between 20 and 24 grams of water vapor per kilogram of air. 21 grams of water vapor per kilogram...

Scientific names
Identify common and scientific names
An organism's common name is the name that people normally call the organism. Common names often contain words you know. An organism's scientific name is the name scientists use to identify the organism. Scientific names often contain words that are not used in everyday English. Scientific names are written in italics,...
Cathartes aura is written in italics. The first word is capitalized, and the second word is not. So, Cathartes aura is the scientific name.

[ "no", "yes" ]
1
This organism is Oxalis acetosella. It is a member of the plant kingdom. Oxalis acetosella is commonly called wood sorrel. A wood sorrel plant has heart-shaped leaves and white flowers. Its flowers and leaves can fold up at night. Folding up helps protect the flowers and leaves from being eaten by insects.

Classification
Describe, classify, and compare kingdoms
In the past, scientists classified living organisms into two groups: plants and animals. Over the past 300 years, scientists have discovered many more types of organisms. Today, many scientists classify organisms into six broad groups, called kingdoms. Organisms in each kingdom have specific traits. The table below sho...
