9. Camouflage

10. A giraffe has a long neck and a fish has fins, these are examples of:

11. Adaptations – the long neck allows the giraffe to eat and the fish can swim because it has fins.

12. How come the clown fish is not being stung?

13. Mutualism – the clown fish helps feed the sea anemone and the sea anemone helps clean the clown fish.

14. Why isn’t the crocodile eating the bird?

15. Mutualism – The crocodile is getting his dental work done while the plover is getting a meal.

16. mammals, birds, fish, reptiles, and amphibians are examples of:

17. vertebrates – animals with a backbone

18. insects, arachnids and octopus are examples of:

19. Invertebrates – animals without a backbone.

20. Explain how roots, stems, leaves and flowers help a plant to live.

21. The roots suck the water from the soil and then the stem helps to feed the rest of the plant, the leaves soak up the sun and release water. The flower helps the plant reproduce.

22. Explain how bones, nerves and muscles help animals.

23. Bones give our bodies support and shape. Muscles help us move, and nerves help us feel things.

24. Which animal lives in the habitat above? Why?

25. All populations need air, water, plants, animals, soil that meet their needs – the scorpion would live in the desert because the habitat is perfect. The frog would need more vegetation and the manatee would need water.

26. Explain what the words above all have in common. oil coal gas uranium

27. Nonrenewable Resources Nonrenewable resource are those natural resources that cannot be replaced once they are used up.

28. Explain what the words to the right have in common. soil air water wood sunlight

29. Renewable Resources Renewable resources are those resources that can be replaced as they are used up.

30. What will happen if we run out of oil?

31. It is a nonrenewable resource so we would not be able to get more and we would have to find another thing to use instead.

32. What can we do to make our resources last longer?

33. reducing, reusing, recycling, finding substitutes

34. What are the consequences of environmental occurrences that happen rapidly like fire, flood, and tornados

35. Fire – structures burn, people can get injured, smoke can cause pollution. Flood – structures can be destroyed, people can get hurt and water can get polluted. Tornados – structures can be destroyed, people can be hurt, and chemicals can spill.

36. What are the consequences of disasters that happen over a long period of time like: drought, melting icecaps, green house effect and erosion?

37. Drought – plants and animals can die and food can be scarce. Melting ice caps can cause the oceans to swell and disrupt the food chain of the ocean. Green house effect – this can cause the earth to get too hot and things can die. Erosion can change the shape of the land.

38. How can natural disasters and human activity be both good and bad for the Earth?

39. Good things can be new inventions and learning that takes place. Bad things can be loss and devastation.

40. Describe the good things that have come from the technology improvements in the last 20 years.

41. Computers, air conditioning, iPods, refrigerators, medicine, more efficient use of our fossil fuels and electricity, solar power…

42. If you were a scientist working on a flash light, explain how it works.

44. Using this graph, can you tell what school lunch is the most popular and least popular?

45. Pizza is the most popular and salad and chicken rings are the least popular.

46. Using the following line graph, what do you think would be better to wear next week – shorts, or pants?
