When the Anglo-Saxons arrived in Britain, they built their villages near rivers. Give two reasons why.
For water (drinking/farming) and for travel (boats/transport).
Solids stay in one shape, but liquids flow and change shape. Why?
Because particles in a liquid can move/slide past each other (in a solid they are stuck/fixed).
Why is the weather usually hotter at the Equator and colder at the Poles?
Because the Equator gets more direct sunlight (The sun hits it directly).
A bat can fly, but it is not a bird. It is a mammal. How do we know? (Give one reason).
It has fur/hair (not feathers) OR it feeds its babies milk.
Some seeds have little hooks on them. Why do they have hooks?
To stick to animal fur (so the animal carries the seed to a new place).
How do you spell the career (job) of the people that study old things?
Archaeology
I have a glass of water, sand, and salt all mixed together. How do I get the salt back? (You need two steps!
First filter (sieve) the sand, then evaporate (heat) the water.
It is 12:00 PM in London, but it is 3:00 PM in Kuwait. Why is the time different?
Because the Earth rotates (spins), so the sun hits different parts of the world (Longitudes) at different times.
Think about a human baby and a frog egg. What is the biggest difference in how they grow into adults?
The frog changes its body shape completely (Metamorphosis/tadpole to frog), but the human just gets bigger.
Most plants grow from seeds, but a Strawberry plant sends out a "runner" to grow a new plant. What is this called?
