What is melting?
Melting is a change of state from solid to liquid.
List all six types of simple machines.
Lever, wheel and axle, pulley, wedge, incline plane, and screw.
What are 4 layers of the Earth?
Crust, mantle, outer core, and inner core.
Name four things that plants need to survive.
Sunlight, water, nutrients from soil, and carbon dioxide (or air).
This block moves a sprite forward by a number of steps.
"Motion" blocks.
List at least 3 examples of natural and processed materials.
Natural materials: grass, tree, cotton plant
Processed materials: paper, shirt, table
List at least one example of how the Indigenous people use a simple machine in their lives.
Antler wedges, paddles, Inuit scraping tools (ulu).
List at least 5 natural events that would change the Earth's surface.
Volcanic eruptions, earthquakes, landslides, tsunamis, and floods.
Animals that only eat meat are called c_______; animals that only eat plants are called h_______; animals that eat meat and plants are called o_______;
Carnivores, herbivores, omnivores.
This block lets you change what your sprite says in a speech bubble.
"Looks" blocks.
Use your own words to explain what reversible and permanent changes are.
A reversible change is a change that can be undone, such as melting or freezing.
A permanent change is a change that cannot be undone, such as cooking an egg or baking a cake.
Use your own words to explain what a force is.
A force is a push or pull on an object resulting from an interaction with another object.
List at least 3 human activities that would change the Earth's surface.
living on the land, building towns and cities, growing crops and farming (agriculture), polluting...
Use your own words to explain what a food chain is.
A food chain shows the order in which plants and animals depend on each other for food.
This block starts code when a specific key is pressed.
"Events" blocks.
Use your own words to explain what solid, liquid, and gas are.
A solid is a state of matter that has a definite shape and volume.
A liquid is a state of matter that has a definite volume but no definite shape.
A gas is a state of matter that has neither a definite shape nor a definite volume.
Use your own words to explain Newton's First Law.
An object that is not moving will stay still until a force makes it move, and an object that is moving will keep moving until a force stops it.
What gases cause global warming, and where do those gases come from?
Carbon Dioxide is produced by burning coal and cutting down trees.
Methane is produced from agriculture, landfills and waste decomposition, natural gas and oil extraction.
Use your own words to describe how to protect our environment.
Respectfully interacting with nature, minimizing disturbance to plants and animals, being aware of animal crossings, and following fishing and hunting regulations...
This block keeps repeating the code forever.
"Control" blocks.
Use your own words to explain what the water cycle is.
The water cycle is a process in which water on Earth moves continuously between bodies of water, land, and the atmosphere.
In the water cycle, water changes state from a liquid to a gas through evaporation, forms clouds through condensation, and then falls back to Earth in a liquid or solid state (precipitation).
Water can change state from solid to liquid and back again. Water can change state from liquid to gas and back again.
Use your own words to explain how a simple machine makes our lives easier.
A simple machine makes our lives easier by reducing the amount of force needed to perform a task. It changes the direction or magnitude of a force, allowing us to move objects more efficiently, lift heavier loads, or complete work with less effort.
Use your own word to describe how fossils are formed.
Fossils are formed when the remains of plants or animals are buried by layers of mud, sand, or other materials shortly after they die. Over time, these layers build up and harden into rock. As the soft parts of the organism break down, the hard parts—like bones, shells, or wood—may slowly be replaced by minerals, turning them into stone. In some cases, fossils are formed by leaving an impression or shape in the rock. This whole process can take millions of years, preserving clues about life from the past.
Use your own words to describe how First Nations, Métis, and Inuit people use natural resources and pay respect to nature.
They rely on the land, water, plants, and animals for food, clothing, shelter, and tools. When they hunt, fish, or gather, they take only what they need and make sure not to waste anything. They also give thanks to nature through stories, ceremonies, and traditions, showing respect for the land and the animals.
This block lets you ask a question and store the answer.
