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 green iguana is a reptile. It has scaly, waterproof skin. Iguanas are a type of lizard. Iguanas eat plants and fruit. A sea otter is a mammal. It has fur and feeds its young milk. Sea otters have very thick fur. Their fur keeps them warm in cold water. A toco toucan is a bird. It has feathers, two wings, and a beak. ...

Rocks and minerals
Identify rocks and minerals
Properties are used to identify different substances. Minerals have the following properties: It is a solid. It is formed in nature. It is not made by organisms. It is a pure substance. It has a fixed crystal structure. If a substance has all five of these properties, then it is a mineral. Look closely at the last thre...
Muscovite has all the properties of a mineral. So, muscovite is a mineral.

As the wind pushes on the umbrella, what is the direction of the opposing force?
[ "away from Ivan", "toward Ivan" ]

The text below describes a pair of opposing forces. Opposing forces act on an object in opposite directions. Read the text. Then answer the question below. Ivan uses his umbrella on a windy day. Think about two of the forces that act on the umbrella: Ivan pulls toward himself. The wind pushes away from Ivan.

Force and motion
How do balanced and unbalanced forces affect motion?
A force is a push or a pull that acts on an object. Each force acts on an object in a certain direction. If two forces act on an object in opposite directions, they are called opposing forces.
Find the direction the wind pushes on the umbrella. Ivan uses his umbrella on a windy day. Think about two of the forces that act on the umbrella: Ivan pulls toward himself. The wind pushes away from Ivan. The text tells you that the wind pushes away from Ivan. The opposite direction is toward Ivan. So, the direction o...

Materials
Compare properties of objects
An object has different properties. A property of an object can tell you how it looks, feels, tastes, or smells. Different objects can have the same properties. You can use these properties to put objects into groups.
Look at each object. For each object, decide if it has that property. A breakable object will break into pieces if you drop it. The rubber ball is not breakable. A smooth object is not scratchy or rough. Both objects are smooth. The property that both objects have in common is smooth.

Magnets
Compare magnitudes of magnetic forces
Magnets can pull or push on each other without touching. When magnets attract, they pull together. When magnets repel, they push apart. These pulls and pushes between magnets are called magnetic forces. The strength of a force is called its magnitude. The greater the magnitude of the magnetic force between two magnets,...
Magnet sizes affect the magnitude of the magnetic force. Imagine magnets that are the same shape and made of the same material. The larger the magnets, the greater the magnitude of the magnetic force between them. Magnet A is the same size in both pairs. But Magnet B is larger in Pair 2 than in Pair 1. So, the magnitud...

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, called north and south. Here are some examples of magnets....
Will these magnets attract or repel? To find out, look at which poles are closest to each other. The north pole of one magnet is closest to the north pole of the other magnet. Poles that are the same repel. So, these magnets will repel each other.

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 scarlet macaw. The scarlet macaw has a thick hooked beak. Its beak is adapted to crack large, hard nuts. The scarlet macaw uses its thick beak to crack the shell of a nut by squeezing it. The hooked shape of the beak can help the bird hold the nut in place while cracking it. Now look at each ...
