Desert animals sleeping during the day is this kind of adaptation.

What is a behavioral adaptation?

A physical adaptation for why small mammals have survived the pressure of larger animals who eat them.

What are faster legs for outrunning their predator?

Mosses would most likely survive in this moist and humid environment/ habitat.

What is the tropical rain forest?

This is the stage in the life cycle that is essential to the survival of the species.

What is reproduction?

A yellow jacket behaves like a syrphid fly to avoid a predator is this type of adaptation.

What is a behavioral adaptation?

This is the definition for a fossil.

What is the remains of an organism?

This is what Dr. Tidwell learned from comparing the fossils of ancient horses to the skeleton of modern day horses.

What is how horses have changed over time?

This is what scientists use to figure out which organisms lived during the Cretaceous period.

What are fossils?

This is a conclusion from studying these two fossils:

What is sharks from the past were much larger than modern day sharks?

A fossil was found to have two very large and sharp incisor teeth. This animal most likely ate this.

What is other animals?

This is the reason why the islands of Hawaii are the upper part of mountains that rise from the ocean floor.

What is lava from volcanoes?

This is a feature caused by divergent oceanic tectonic plates under the Atlantic Ocean where the water is shallow and light blue along the coasts, but grows darker and deeper as you sail out into sea. A.Continental Shelf B. Continental Slope C. Continental Drift D. Continental Divide

What is the Continental Slope?

This is why cities near oceans are often warmer in the winter than cities far from the ocean at the same latitude.

What is oceans cool more slowly than land?

This happens when cooler air under high pressure over the sea meets warmer air under low pressure on the land.

What is a sea breeze?

This is the reason why fog or precipitation forms at higher altitudes, which contributes to the rain shadow effect.

What is the temperature decreases the higher the altitude, so the water condenses?

The “Great Red Spot” is actually a large storm in this planet’s atmosphere. The storm on this planet is twice the size of Earth.

What is Jupiter?

This planet’s orbit is closest to Earth’s orbit.

What is Venus?

This is one similarity between these two planets.

What is both planets have atmospheres made of similar gases?

According to the information in the table, this planet is closest in size to the Earth.

What is Venus ?

This instrument is used to identify constellations.

What is a star chart?

This is the best diagram and REASON for investigating how water affects the germination of radish seeds.

What is A. because the results will provide an answer to the specific testable question: How does water affect the germination of radish seeds?

Observing and recording what these birds eat everyday could help answer this question.

What is where do these birds obtain their energy?

This method enables scientist to gather information from experimentation that may explain the unknown.

What is the Scientific Method.

This is the testable question to this experiment: Plant sunflower seeds at different distances from the water and record how well each one grows.

What is “How will the distance from the ocean affect the growth of sunflowers”?

This scientist developed the scientific method.

Who is Sir Isaac Newton?

This is the BEST way to determine if the composition of an ice cube affects the melting point.

What is freeze pure water, sugar water, and salt water in 3 identical trays side by side in the same room.
