Day/Night
One day/night cycle takes about this many hours.
It is this season in Bloomer if the northern hemisphere is tilted toward the sun.
What is summer?
This animal is born with fish-like gills and grows four legs and lungs before adulthood.
What is a frog?
This is when a plant begins to grow and sprout.
What is germination?
This is the process of liquid water turning into water vapor.
What is evaporation?
The earth does this to change part of the earth from day to night.
What is rotate?
This is the imaginary line that separates northern and southern hemispheres.
What is the equator?
This animal hatches from an egg and is worm-like in its early stages but grows wings in adulthood.
What is a butterfly?
These plant parts stay underground and help absorb water and nutrients.
What are roots?
Precipitation can fall in these forms. (Name at least 3)
What are rain, snow, sleet, and hail?
True or false? Daytime and nighttime are always the same amount of time, everyday/night.
What is false?
Some animals dig burrows and find dens to do this when it is winter because it is hard to find food.
What is hibernate?
This animal uses an egg tooth to hatch from an egg that has a shell, a yolk, and an albumen.
What is a chicken?
True or false? All plants die in the winter.
What is false?
This is the process of water vapor turning into liquid water.
What is condensation?
This is what we call a sequence of events that happens over and over again.
What is a cycle?
When there is equal amounts of daylight and nighttime, this is the word that describes that phenomenon.
What is an equinox?
Describe the life cycle of a chicken.
A chick hatches from an egg. Then, it grows into an adult chicken, and the adult chicken lays an egg and the life cycle starts again.
This is the process of flowers trading pollen, usually with the help of bees, birds, and other insects.
What is pollination?
When does precipitation happen?
Precipitation happens when clouds become too heavy with water vapor and then precipitation (rain, snow, sleet, or hail) falls from the sky.
This happens every four years because the day/night cycle is not actually a FULL 24 hours.
What is Leap Day?
Why do we have seasons? Describe what the Earth does that causes us to have 4 seasons.
Earth rotates on a tilt. As one part of the Earth is tilted towards the sun, that part of the planet has summer and the opposite side has winter.
Describe the life cycle of a plant.
First a seed is planted. Then, it germinated and grows roots. It sprouts through the soil and grows a stem. As it grows, small leaves appear. The stem grows taller and grows more leaves. Finally, the plant matures and flowers grow.
This is the process of plants making their own food.
What is photosynthesis?
Condensation happens when water vapor builds up in the sky as clouds. When there is too much water vapor, precipitation happens. Then, water vapor is evaporated by the sun. The water vapor creates clouds and the cycle begins again.
