Photosynthesis & Plants
This uses sunlight, carbon dioxide, & water to make food in plant leaves.
Photosynthesis
Arthropods have an external skeleton made of this protein.
Chitin
The Earth has three main internal layers. Name any two.
Matter is anything that has these two properties.
Mass and volume (or has mass and takes up space).
This type of volcano is formed by eruptions of mostly tephra and very little lava
Cinder cone
The tiny openings on the underside of a leaf that take in carbon dioxide and release oxygen.
Stomata (Stoma)
Insects have three main body regions. Name any two.
head, throax, abdomen
What is the name of the scale commonly used to express earthquake magnitude?
Richter scale
What small particle travels around the outside of an atom and carries a negative charge?
electrons
This is the term for arranging animals or other things into groups according to their similarities.
Classification
Name the organelle inside leaf cells where photosynthesis takes place.
Chloroplast
This order of insects is known for having "scale wings" & includes butterflies & moths.
Lepidoptera
Name the three major rock types based on how they form.
Igneous, sedimentary, metamorphic
Give the chemical formula (using element symbols) for water as shown in the text.
H2O
Draw a basic flower & label the following:
ovule
sepal
pistil
stamen
petal
See teacher response
What part of a flower contains ovules and later develops into fruit?
Ovary
Spiders belong to a different class than insects. Name one major difference between spiders (arachnids) & insects.

Identify three adaptations or special leaves mentioned that help plants survive or obtain nutrients (one is carnivorous)

Crustaceans often have ten legs and can regenerate missing parts. Give two examples of crustaceans (besides crabs or lobsters) from the text.
crayfish, shrimp, barnacles, prawns
Describe how plate movements can form mountains or mid-ocean ridges (give the plate interaction for each).
Mountains form when plates collide (convergent); mid-ocean ridges form where plates move apart (divergent).
Explain, in simple terms, what happens in a chemical reaction (what is rearranged) and give the combustion example type described in the text.
Atoms are rearranged to form new substances (the total number of atoms is conserved); combustion is a rapid reaction with oxygen (e.g., burning).
Give the element name that corresponds to the following symbols:
Au
Ag
Fe
Pb
Hg
Silver
Iron
Lead
Mercury
