What is a flying squirrel?
This type of agriculture is the breeding, rearing, and harvesting of fish, shellfish, algae, and other organisms in all types of water environments.
What is aquaculture?
the continuous process of rock transformation where rocks change from one type to another—igneous, sedimentary, or metamorphic—over geologic time.
What is the rock cycle?
a community of living organisms (biotic factors) interacting with each other and their non-living physical environment (abiotic factors) like air, soil, water, and sunlight.
What is an ecosystem?
To ID this tree, look for long, soft needles that are in bundles of five, with a soft, bluish-green color.
What is Eastern White Pine?
To identify this mammal, look for its long ear tufts, entirely black-tipped tail, large "snowshoe-like" paws, and grayish, spotted coat
What is a Canada lynx?
This can be anything grown, cultivated, and harvested on a farm
What is a crop?
These are earth's 4 spheres.
What are the hydrosphere, biosphere, geosphere and atmosphere?
the process by which plants and some other organisms use sunlight to synthesize foods from carbon dioxide and water
What is photosynthesis?
To identify this tree, look for scale-like, flattened, fan-shaped leaves arranged in sprays, often green with lighter undersides, that release a pleasant, aromatic scent when crushed.
What is white cedar?
To identify this bird, look for a large, blue-gray wading bird with a long neck, long yellow-green legs, and a long, pointed yellow bill
What is a great blue heron?
the branch of agriculture concerned with animals that are raised for meat, milk, or other products

What is to harvest?
the responsible management of natural resources and the preservation of ecosystems to meet present needs without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.
What is sustainability?
the variety of life on Earth, encompassing the different plants, animals, fungi, and microorganisms, along with the genetic information they contain and the ecosystems they form.
What is biodiversity?
