Human Body
This organ's function is to pump blood, oxygen and nutrients to all the organs in the body.
The heart
Classify this animal into its group: an elephant.
Consider what structures the animal has. Does it have a backbone or not? Does it have live birth or lay eggs? Is it warm blooded or cold blooded?
Mammal
This structure of a plant is responsible for anchoring the plant to the ground and pulling water and nutrients from the soil.
Roots
These structures allow organisms to take in oxygen and exhale carbon dioxide. Name the structure that performs this function in humans and in fish.
Lungs and gills
What are sensory organs?
Sensory organs are the organs responsible for sight, hearing, touch, smell and taste (eyes, ears, skin, nose and tongue). They communicate with the brain by sending and receiving messages about the environment.
Not be to confused with the smaller of the two organs, this organ's function is to absorb water, store and release solid waste from the body.
The large intestine
These animals have a backbone, although the structure of their skeleton looks different depending on the type of animal. What group of animals do they belong to?
Vertebrates
These strcutures make food for the plant through a process called photosynthesis.
Leaves
These strcutures function to provide protection and support for the organism. Name the structure in vertebrates and invertebrates.
Skeleton and exoskeleton
What is the difference between amphibians and reptiles?
Reptiles have scales and their skin is dry. Amphibians do not and their skin is covered with mucus, which keeps them from drying up. Reptiles lay eggs on land, while amphibians lay eggs in water.
These two structures work together in your body to allow you to move.
The bones and muscles
Invertebrates do not have an internal skeleton. Some invertebrates have an external skeleton. What is the name of this structure?
Exoskeleton
This strucure of the plant provides support for the plant. Water, nutrients and food travel up and down this structure. Name the structure of the plant and name the structure it is most similar to in a human.
Stem and spine/backbone
This body covering regulates body temperature in mammals, like humans. It also provides protection between the environment and the internal organs. Some animals have a different body covering that fuction to regulate body temperature by keeping the organism warm and providing a layer of protection. Name the body covering for humans, bears and fish.
Skin, fur, and scales
Moss is a nonflowering plant. What structure does moss have that allows it to reproduce?
Spores
Rumi's blood sugar is low. She eats a sugary snack and feels better for awhile, but her blood sugar becomes low again too quickly. What organ in her body may not be functioning correctly?
The pancreas
These organisms go through incomplete metamorphosis. Their bodies are made of segmented parts. What are these organisms classified as?
Arthropods
The main reproductive structure of flowering plants. Pollen from the stamen of another plant enters the pistil and allows a seed to form. This structure protects the seed and attracts pollinators.
Flower
Organisms have different structure for taking in water and nutrients. Name the structure tigers use to perform this function and the structure a rose uses to perform this function.
Mouth and roots
What is germination?
Germination is the process of a seed becoming an adult plant. Starting as a seed and eventually leading to a seedling, sprout and eventually an adult plant.
This organ is responsible for a number of jobs in your body and it part of the digestive system. Food does not pass through this organ. One of its main functions is to break down fat in the food you eat.
The liver
During complete metamorphosis, the organism changes at each stage of its life. For example, a lady bug hatches from an egg, enter the larval phase, becomes a pupa and then the adult lady bug. It looks different at each stage of its life. During incomplete metamorphosis, the organism's appearance is not drastically different at each stage of its life. For example, the grasshopper hatches from an egg and enters the nymph stage of its life. The nymph looks like a smaller version of the adult as it ages.
This plant is a non-flowering plant. The seed is stored in a structure that releases when the structure opens. These trees are common in homes this time of year. Name the type of plant and the structure that holds the seed.
Conifer plant and cone
What do humans and fish have in common? Use science vocabulary to describe the similarities.
Both are vertebrates, breathe oxygen using different structures, have offspring, take in nutrients through their mouths, and complete life cycles.
Explain the steps of the digestive system. How does food enter the body? What organs are involved as food moves through the body? What organs does food pass through? What organs provide digestive juices that help to digest the food? How does food leaves the body?
Foods enters the body through the mouth. Teeth and saliva breaks the food into smaller pieces. When you swallow, food travels down the esophagus and into the stomach. There food mixes with digestive juices callec chyme to break down the food further. The food then enter the small intestine where it mixes with bile from the liver. The small intestine aborbs the nutrients from food and passes the rest to the large intestine. The large intestine absorbs water from the food and stores the solid waste until it is ready to leave the body.
