Human Brain, Body and Vision
This organ controls your thoughts, feelings, and movements.
What is the brain?
This is a feature or behavior that helps an animal or plant survive in its environment.
What is an adaptation?
This is the layer of the Earth’s surface that includes mountains, valleys, and plains.
What is the crust?
This type of energy lets us see things and travels in straight lines.
What is light?
Energy is the ability to do this.
What is work?
These parts of your body help you take in information from the world, like light, sound, and touch.
What are the senses?
A polar bear has thick fur and a layer of fat. These adaptations help it survive in what kind of environment?
What is a cold or Arctic environment?
Wind and water can slowly wear away rocks and land. What is this process called?
What is weathering?
Vibrations of matter cause this form of energy, which we hear with our ears.
What is sound?
This type of energy comes from moving objects, like a rolling ball or a spinning wheel.
What is kinetic energy?
This sense uses your eyes to detect light, shapes, and colors.
What is vision?
Some desert plants, like the cactus, have waxy coatings and deep roots. What do these adaptations help them conserve?
What is water?
When rocks, sand, and soil are moved from one place to another, this process is happening.
What is erosion?
This kind of energy makes things warmer and can come from the Sun, fire, or electricity.
What is heat (or thermal energy)?
When you rub your hands together and they get warm, you are transferring energy as this type.
What is heat (or thermal energy)?
This part of your body sends messages to and from your brain, allowing you to move and feel things.
What is the nervous system?
Some animals, like chameleons or walking sticks, can blend into their surroundings. What is this adaptation called?
What is camouflage?
Volcanoes and earthquakes happen because of movement in this layer of the Earth.
What is the mantle (or tectonic plates in the crust/mantle)?
This type of energy flows through wires and can power lights, TVs, and computers.
What is electricity?
This energy is stored in food, batteries, and fuel and is released during chemical reactions.
What is chemical energy?
Explain how your eyes and brain work together to help you understand what you see.
What is "Your eyes take in light and images, and your brain processes that information so you know what you’re looking at"?
Explain how adaptations like sharp beaks, webbed feet, or long necks help animals survive in their specific habitats.
What is "These physical traits help animals get food, escape danger, or move better in their environment"?
Explain how a fast process like a landslide and a slow process like erosion can both change Earth’s surface.
What is "A landslide can quickly move large amounts of earth, while erosion slowly wears down and shapes land over time"?
Explain how a complete circuit works to light a bulb.
What is "A complete circuit has a power source, wires, and a path for electricity to flow to and from the bulb, allowing it to light up"?
Explain how energy can be transferred from the Sun to a plant and then to an animal.
What is "The Sun gives light energy to the plant for photosynthesis, and when the animal eats the plant, the energy is transferred to the animal"?
