Space
The planets in our solar system are divided into two groups: the inner planets and the outer planets. The inner planets are:
What are Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars?
This kind of energy allows us to see objects and comes from sources like the Sun or a flashlight.
What is light energy?
This substance moves through the water cycle and can be found in rivers, oceans, clouds, and rain.
What is water?
Some animals live together in these instead of living alone.
What are (animal) groups?
This state of matter has a fixed shape and volume, like a rock or a book.
What is a solid?
This object changes shape during the month, going through phases like new, half, and full.
What is the Moon?
When an object is moving, it has this type of energy.
What is mechanical/motion energy (or What is kinetic energy?)
When the Sun heats water and turns it from liquid into gas, this water‑cycle process is happening.
What is evaporation?
Living in a group can help animals stay safer from this danger.
This state of matter keeps the same volume but changes shape to fit its container, like water in a cup.
What is a liquid?
What is the largest planet in the solar system?
What is Jupiter?
Clapping your hands or playing a drum shows this kind of energy.
This step in the water cycle happens when water vapor cools and forms clouds.
What is condensation?
In a wolf pack or a bee hive, different members have these special jobs.
What are roles? (or What are specialized roles?)
Air is an example of this state of matter that spreads out and fills all available space.
What is a gas?
The stars seem to move across the sky at night, but really it is this movement of Earth that causes the pattern.
What is the Earth's rotation?
When you rub your hands together and they get warm, motion energy changes into this kind of energy.
What is heat (thermal) energy?
Rain, snow, sleet, or hail falling from clouds to Earth is called this stage of the water cycle.
What is precipitation?
Birds flying in a V shape or fish swimming in schools show how group behavior helps animals save energy and stay safe. This is an example of __________.
What is working together? (or What is cooperation?)
Even though we can’t see them, all solids, liquids, and gases are made of these tiny pieces.
What are particles?
Name the planets in order from closest to the Sun to farthest from the Sun.
What are Mercury Venus Earth Mars Jupiter Saturn Uranus Neptune?
A light bulb uses electrical energy and changes it into light and heat. This change shows that energy can be __________.
What is transferred or changed (converted)?
The water cycle shows how water moves between Earth’s surface, underground, and the air. These parts of Earth are called __________.
What are Earth's systems? (or What are atmosphere, hydrosphere, and geosphere?)
Scientists explain that animals live in groups because it increases their chances of this important goal.
What is survival?
Scientists use drawings or diagrams to show how particles are arranged in solids, liquids, and gases. These drawings are called __________.
What is a model?
