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.
A white stork is a bird. It has feathers, two wings, and a beak. Storks wade in shallow water to look for food. Storks eat fish, insects, worms, and other small animals. A koala is a mammal. It has fur and feeds its young milk. Koalas sleep for up to 20 hours a day!

Offspring phenotypes: dominant or recessive? How do you determine an organism's phenotype for a trait? Look at the combination of alleles in the organism's genotype for the gene that affects that trait. Some alleles have types called dominant and recessive. These two types can cause different versions of the trait to a...
To determine how many boxes in the Punnett square represent offspring with curly fur or straight fur, consider whether each phenotype is the dominant or recessive allele's version of the fur type trait. The question tells you that the F allele, which is for straight fur, is dominant over the f allele, which is for curl...

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 south pole of the other magnet. Poles that are different attract. So, these magnets will attract each other.

Each particle in the two samples has the same mass, and the particles in both samples have the same average speed. So, the particles in both samples have the same average kinetic energy. Because the particles in both samples have the same average kinetic energy, the samples must have the same temperature.

Adaptations
Animal adaptations: feet and limbs
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 feet is one example of an adaptation. Animals' feet can be adapted in different ways. For example, webbed feet might help an animal swim. Feet with thick fur m...
Look at the picture of the osprey. The osprey has long toes with sharp claws. Its feet are adapted for grabbing prey. The sharp claws can help the osprey attack and kill its prey. The long toes can help it hold on to its prey. Now look at each animal. Figure out which animal has a similar adaptation. The African crowne...

Force and motion
Identify pushes and pulls
A force is a push or a pull that one object applies to a second object. 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 child's finger applies a force to the button as he presses it. The direction of this force is away from the child's finger. This force is a push.

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.
A fruit bat is a mammal. It has hair and feeds its young milk. Fruit bats eat fruit and drink nectar from flowers. They have special teeth to help them bite through fruit skins. A flamingo is a bird. It has feathers, two wings, and a beak. Flamingos live in large groups. These groups are called flocks.

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 crystal jellyfish's scientific name is Aequorea victoria. Aequorea victoria has the same scientific name as a crystal jellyfish. So, these organisms are in the same species. Aurelia aurita does not have the same scientific name as a crystal jellyfish. So, Aequorea victoria and Aurelia aurita are not in the same speci...

Describe ecosystems
An environment includes all of the biotic, or living, and abiotic, or nonliving, things in an area. An ecosystem is created by the relationships that form among the biotic and abiotic parts of an environment. There are many different types of terrestrial, or land-based, ecosystems. Here are some ways in which terrestri...
