The hair-like structures on the roots increase its ability to store food made by the plant. D. The hair-like structures on the roots increase its ability to release heat into the environment.
B. The hair-like structures on the roots increase its ability to absorb water from the soil.
Light travels faster than this form of energy.
What is sound?
A test used to answer a science question is called this.
What is an experiment?
Water falling from clouds as rain, snow, sleet, or hail is called this.
What is precipitation?
These remains or traces of ancient living things found in rocks are called this.
What are fossils?
This structure carries water from roots to leaves in plants.
What is the stem?
This happens when light bounces off an object.
What is reflection?
This should stay the same during an experiment.
What is a constant?
8. Look at the Grand Canyon Rock Layers model in the passage. Which statement best describes the Redwall Limestone layer in the Grand Canyon? A. It is older than the Bright Angel Shale layer because it is above the Bright Angel Shale layer. B. It is the same age as the Kaibab Limestone layer because they are both limestone layers. C. It is younger than the Supai Group layer because it is a thinner layer than the Supai Group layer. D. It is older than the Coconino Sandstone layer because it is below the Coconino Sandstone layer
D. It is older than the Coconino Sandstone layer because it is below the Coconino Sandstone layer

Weathering breaks rocks into smaller pieces, while this process moves the pieces to new places.
What is erosion?
This helps animals survive in their environment.
What is an adaptation?
This happens when sound waves bounce off a surface and repeat.
What is an echo?
Charts and graphs help scientists do this with data.
What is analyze/interprete data?
During some storms, lightning can strike objects and cause them to burn. Also, lightning causes thunder, which observers can hear.
Which statement best describes how energy is transformed by lightning? A. Sound energy is transformed into light and heat energy. B. Light energy is transformed into electrical energy. C. Electrical energy is transformed into light, heat, and sound energy. D. Light, heat, and sound energy are transformed into electrical energy.
C. Electrical energy is transformed into light, heat, and sound energy.
This process happens when rocks are broken down into smaller pieces by wind, water, ice, or plant roots.
What is weathering?
Which statement best supports the student’s claim?
A. The main function of a beak is to obtain food. B. The main function of a beak is to build nests. C. The main function of a beak is to take in oxygen. D. The main function of a beak is to protect the bird from predators
A. The main function of a beak is to obtain food.
Sound is made when objects do this.
What is vibration/vibrate?
The thing that is changed on purpose during an experiment is called this.
