You can find examples of the different forms of energy in nature. Lightning: natural example of electrical energy. Heat energy inside Earth: warms underground water and rock, producing geysers and volcanoes. Fireflies: are natural examples of light sources. The Sun: most important light source for Earth. Light from the Sun is a form of solar energy. ____________, from nature, has the same energy as that provided by batteries. Why?

Lightening! Lightening can provide an electrical current, just like batteries. Benjamin Franklin discovered that lightening held an electrical charge.

A plants life cycle includes fertilization, seed forming, seed dispersal, germination, and maturation. What role would a squirrel play in the plants life cycle?

The squirrel would help with seed dispersal.

Which of the following is an adaptation most likely observed in plants growing along Aransas Bay? A Use green light B Ability to use saltwater C Root length D Fight off diseases

B Ability to use saltwater These plants are able to tolerate the salt level in the water.

The diagrams below show the plant communities present in the same area at different times over a 200-year period following a forest fire. What is the correct sequence of these plant communities following the forest fire? (1)B  A  D  C (2)B  D  C  A (3)B  C  D  A (4)B  A  C  D

This cycle puts a gas into the ground from decomposers and can then be used by plants

The Nitrogen Cycle

Some mesquite trees have deeper roots than any other plant in the desert. How are deep roots an adaptation for survival in the desert? F Deep roots can protect the tree from predators. G Roots encounter cooler conditions far below the desert surface. H Roots can extend great distances to reach water. J Deep roots interact with beneficial bacteria below the surface.

H Roots can extend great distances to reach water. Key phrase is: surviving in the desert. It is sometimes hard to find water in the desert.

Which object is the best conductor of electricity? A metal fork B rubber boot C plastic spoon D wooden bat
