The boiling point
An animal that eats plants and animals is called
An Omnivore
A behavior that is developed from observing other animals or being taught is called
Learned behavior
A measure of gravity pulling on an object
Weight
The order in which animals eat plants and other animals is called
The food chain
All living and non living things in a certain environment is called
An ecosystem
a natural resource
Materials from nature that are useful to people is called
An idea that can be tested by an experiment or observation is called a
Hypothesis
A unit of measure that is equal to one hundredth of a meter is called a
Centimeter
A mountain built from harden lava, rocks and ash from eruptions on the earth
Volcano
The spinning of the Earth on its axis
Rotation
A behavior that an animal inherits from its parents to is not taught this is called
Instinct
The temperature at which a solid will become a liquid is called the
Melting point
A combination of two or more substances put together
Mixture
Matter
Anything that takes up space
To gather information using any of the five senses
Observe
The final decision explaining whether your experiment supports your hypothesis or not is called
Conclusion
Temperature
The measurement of how hot or cold a substance is.
Organisms that break down and digest dead materials and wastes
Decomposers
Conclusion
The final decision explaining whether your experiment supports your hypothesis or not is called.
An animal that is hunted, caught, and eaten by another animal is called
Prey
A predator
Hunts other animals for food
The feel and the appearance of a substance
Texture
A giraffes long neck enables it to reach leaves high above other animals this is an example of.
An adaptation
Hypothesis
An educated guess about how something works. In other words a guess about what will happen
Fossil fuels
Include petroleum (oil),coal and natural gas. These materials are called fossil fuels because, like fossils they are the remains of organisms that lived long ago.
What is renewable energy?
It is energy made from resources that nature will replace, like wind water and sunshine.
Evaporate
Change from a liquid to a gas
Freeze
Turn a liquid to a solid
Boil
Heat a liquid so that it changes from a liquid to a gas
Cool
Take away heat
Mass
How much matter an object has
Balance scale
A tool that measures mass
Gas
Is matter that spreads out to fill the space of whatever it is in. Gas does not have its own shape.
The 3 states/kinds of matter
Solid, liquid, and gas
When you put a liquid into different containers, what changes?
Its shape changes,but the amount of liquid is the same
What tool shows which way the wind blows?
A wind vane
What tool measures rain?
Rain gauge
Sun
The sun is a star that heats Earth
Insects
Animals that have three body parts and six legs
The three body parts are the Head, thorax and Abdomen.
Grassland
A dry place with a lot of grass
Forest
A place where there are a lot of trees
Pond
A small body of water that has little or no salt
Ocean
A large body of salt water
Pollen
Powder inside a flower that makes seeds
Food chain
Shows the order in which living things get the food they need
