This type of organism makes its own food.
Producer
This stage of a butterfly can fly and pollinate flowers.
Adult stage
Weather describes conditions over this amount of time.
Daily or short term
This planet is known as the red planet.
Mars
These phases cause the highest tides.
New moon and full moon
A group of the same species is called this.
Population
If grass disappears, these organisms are directly affected first.
(Carnivores, Omnivores or Herbivores)
Primary consumers (Herbivores)
A frog living in water then on land is an example of this.
Change in habitat
Climate describes conditions over this amount of time.
Earth spinning on its axis is called this.
Rotation
As ocean depth increases, light does this.
Decreases
All living and nonliving things in an area.
Ecosystem
Energy in a food chain always starts with this.
The Sun
A niche is....
An organism’s role/job in its environment.
This storm forms over warm ocean water with strong winds.
Hurricane
Earth moving around the sun is called this.
Revolution
This type of organism floats in the ocean.
Plankton
Multiple populations living together.
Community
If a prey population decreases, what happens to its predator?
It will die due to less food.
Why don’t caterpillars and butterflies compete for food?
They have different niches
Name ONE negative effect of a tornado.
Trees uprooted / habitats destroyed / erosion
Name TWO gas giants.
Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune (any 2)
Name one thing that decreases ocean salinity.
Rainfall or melting ice
“We all live downstream” means this.
Our actions affect water quality
Explain how energy moves through a food chain using 3 organisms.
Sun → producer → consumer (example explanation)
Give one example of how an organism’s role changes during its life cycle.
Student response may vary
Explain the difference between weather and climate
Student answer may vary
Put the first four planets in order from the sun.
Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars
Explain how depth affects ocean life.
Less light = fewer organisms deeper
Give an example of an ecosystem.
Forest, ocean, pond, etc.
