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 great egret's scientific name is Ardea alba. The first word of its scientific name is Ardea. Ardea purpurea is in the genus Ardea. The first word of its scientific name is Ardea. So, Ardea purpurea and Ardea alba are in the same genus. Caprimulgus macrurus is in the genus Caprimulgus. The first word of its scientific...

The passage below describes an experiment. Danny noticed that he could make a dome of water on a penny if he added drops of water slowly enough. He wondered if adding soap to the water would allow him to fit more or less water on the penny. Danny put equal-sized drops of pure water, one at a time, onto a penny. He rec...

Identify control and experimental groups
Experiments have variables, or parts that change. You can design an experiment to investigate whether changing a variable between different groups has a specific outcome. For example, imagine you want to find out whether adding fertilizer to soil affects the height of pea plants. You could investigate this question wit...

Identify properties of an object
An object has different properties. A property of an object can tell you how it looks, feels, tastes, or smells.
Look at the object. Think about each property. A stretchy object gets longer when you pull on it. The ceramic tea cup is not stretchy. A breakable object will break into pieces if you drop it. The ceramic tea cup is breakable.
