What are three types of waste materials?
Solid, liquids, and gases.
Name 2 examples of non-contact forces.
Gravity force, magnetic force.
True or false: The Sun is a planet.
False. The Sun is a star.
Planes fly in this layer of the atmosphere.
Stratosphere
Name one example of a food chain.
Grass → Grasshopper → Frog → Snake → Hawk
List at least 5 methods of waste management that can reduce negative environmental impacts.
Reducing, reusing, recycling, repurposing, repairing, and composting.
What are the two poles of magnets?
North and south.
Name the planet that is closest to the Sun.
Mercury.
The Northern Lights you see at night sometimes happen in this layer.
Thermosphere
Name the life cycle stages of a frog.
Egg → Tadpole → Tadpole with legs →Adult Frog
Why do people use symbols to identify dangerous materials?
People use symbols to identify dangerous materials because symbols provide a clear, quick, and universal way to communicate hazards, even if someone cannot read the language. These symbols help keep people safe by warning them about materials that may be poisonous, flammable, explosive, corrosive, or harmful to health.
How does the two poles of a magnet work?
Opposite magnetic poles attract each other and like magnetic poles repel each other.
Name at least two technologies for viewing objects in space.
Binoculars, telescopes, and planetariums.
Name all the layers of the atmosphere.
Troposphere
Stratosphere
Mesosphere
Thermosphere
Exosphere
Sensory organs of animals include?
Ears, eyes, nose, tongue, and skin.
What does WHMIS stand for?
WHMIS stands for Workplace Hazardous Materials Information System.
Use your own words to describe what magnetic force is.
Magnetic force is a type of non-contact force that occurs between certain materials—like iron, nickel, or cobalt—and magnets. It is the force that pulls or pushes objects without touching them, depending on the magnetic poles.
List all the planets in the solar system, from the order of the closest to the sun to farthest away.
Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune
In Alberta, what are some differences in the sunlight in summer and winter?
In Alberta, sunlight is more direct and the length of daylight is longer in summer than in winter.
What are some examples of the external structures of plants and animals?
Plants may have roots, stems, leaves, flowers, fruit, or other structures, and animals may have claws, teeth, legs, shells, skins, or other structures.
What are some responsible methods of waste management?
Creating less waste by using fewer materials; choosing reusable items instead of single-use products; using items multiple times instead of throwing them away; donating or repurposing old clothes, toys, or furniture; sorting paper, plastic, glass, and metal so they can be processed into new products; helps conserve natural resources and reduce pollution; turning food scraps and yard waste into nutrient-rich soil, reduces the amount of organic waste sent to landfills.
Use your own words to describe what gravity is.
Gravity is a natural force that pulls objects toward each other. It is what keeps us on the ground and what makes things fall when you drop them. The Earth has gravity, so it pulls everything—like people, water, and air—toward its center. Gravity also keeps the Moon in orbit around the Earth and the planets moving around the Sun. The bigger the object, the stronger its pull of gravity.
Use your own words to explain what a solar eclipse is.
A solar eclipse happens when the Moon moves between the Earth and the Sun, blocking some or all of the sunlight from reaching the Earth. It can look like the Sun is partly or completely covered for a short time. This only happens during the day and only in certain places where the Moon’s shadow falls on Earth. During a full solar eclipse, the sky can get very dark for a few minutes, even though it’s daytime.
Use your own words to explain why water is a basic need for plants and animals.
For plants, water is needed to make food through a process called photosynthesis. It also helps carry nutrients from the soil to all parts of the plant and keeps the plant standing tall and firm.
For animals, water is important because it helps their bodies work properly. It keeps them cool, helps with digestion, and carries nutrients and oxygen to cells. Without water, plants and animals would not be able to grow, stay healthy, or survive.
How does plants detect sensory stimuli?
Plants detect sensory stimuli, such as light, gravity, temperature, and touch, which help them grow and survive.
