What are vertebrates?

Back

Vertebrates are animals that have a backbone or spinal column. They include mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians, and fish.

Front

What is an electromagnet?

Back

An electromagnet is a type of magnet in which the magnetic field is produced by an electric current. It can be made stronger by increasing the electric current.

Front

What is deposition in geology?

Back

Deposition is the process by which sediments, soil, and rocks are added to a landform or land mass. It often occurs when a river slows down and drops its load.

Front

What are the two main groups of plants based on reproduction?

Back

Plants can be grouped into spore producers (like ferns) and seed producers (like flowering plants and conifers).

Front

What is a chemical change?

Back

A chemical change occurs when substances combine or break apart to form new substances, often accompanied by energy changes.

Front

How can you increase the strength of an electromagnet?

Back

You can increase the strength of an electromagnet by increasing the electric current flowing through the wire.

Front

What is the role of a river in building up a floodplain?

Back

A river builds up a floodplain by overflowing its banks and depositing sediments as it slows down.

Front

What are the characteristics of vertebrates?

Back

Vertebrates typically have a skeleton made of bone or cartilage, a nervous system, and are classified into five main groups.

Front

What is the difference between spore producers and seed producers?

Back

Spore producers reproduce using spores, while seed producers reproduce using seeds, which contain the embryo of the plant.

Front

What evidence indicates a chemical change has occurred?

Back

Evidence of a chemical change includes color change, temperature change, gas production, or the formation of a precipitate.
