Explain the water cycle in your own words.
The water cycle is the process of water evaporating, forming clouds, and then falling as precipitation (rain or snow)
How does temperature affect the state of water?
Increasing temperature turns ice (solid) to water (liquid) and then to steam (gas).
Describe the process of photosynthesis.
Photosynthesis is the process by which plants use sunlight, carbon dioxide, and water to produce glucose and oxygen.
Explain how to convert 5/8 into a decimal.
Divide 5 by 8 to get 0.625

Create a real-life scenario where you would need to multiply decimals.

Develop a scientific explanation of how the position of Earth relative to the Sun affects the seasons, including a diagram to support your explanation.
The seasons change due to the tilt of Earth's axis and its orbit around the Sun. When the Northern Hemisphere is tilted towards the Sun, it experiences summer, while the Southern Hemisphere experiences winter. Conversely, when the Northern Hemisphere is tilted away from the Sun, it experiences winter, and the Southern Hemisphere experiences summer. A diagram should show Earth's position in its orbit, highlighting the tilt and the areas experiencing different seasons at the same time.
Describe an experiment to test how force affects the motion of different objects.
Roll a ball and a toy car down a ramp and measure which one goes farther, demonstrating the effect of force and mass on motion.
Explain the different types of symbiotic relationships with examples
Mutualism (both benefit, like bees and flowers), commensalism (one benefits, the other is unaffected, like barnacles on whales), and parasitism (one benefits at the expense of the other, like ticks on dogs).
