• Little growth happens and some plants lose their leaves.

• Plants lose their leaves and go into a period of hibernation.

Which statement best describes the response that trees in northern and southern states have to the seasonal changes of winter?

• Trees in both regions lose some leaves, and neither region experiences a change in color.

• Northern and southern trees experience little changes in response to the seasonal changes of winter.

• Northern and southern trees experience the same changes in temperature during the winter months and the trees go into a period of hibernation.

• Plants in Michigan lose all of their leaves and change color due to the colder temperatures. In Florida, the temperature change is less dramatic, and only some trees lose their leaves and change color.

In the fall, what response(s) do trees in northern and southern states have to fall?

• Trees in Michigan and Florida respond to fall by going dormant and storing food.

• Trees in Michigan and Florida respond to fall by going into hibernation and changing color.

• Trees in Michigan change dramatically due to colder temperatures as compared to trees in Florida.

• Trees in Michigan and Florida change color and lose their leaves in preparation for cold harsh temperatures.

What is an example of Florida animals experiencing a seasonal change in summer?

• Animals gather food and hibernate.

• Animals migrate to warmer locations.

• Offspring grow quickly and learn to find food.

• Offspring grow slowly and learn to find food.

When some plants go dormant in the winter, what seasonal change do Florida animals experience?

• Some animals hibernate.

• Animals begin to store food.

• Some animals also go dormant.

• Animals store fat and gain weight.

The climate in Florida is more constant and there are only small changes throughout the seasons. How do Florida animals respond to seasonal changes in the spring?

• Animals like the tree swallow migrate to regions with cooler temperatures.

• Insects love the warm weather and they reproduce quickly to help pollinate flowers.

• Birds migrate back to their home areas and build nests in preparation for having offspring.

• Bears and squirrels gather food and get ready for hibernation to avoid the warmer temperatures.

Why do some animals migrate from northern states to southern states in response to the seasonal changes of winter?

• To store food and reproduce

• To raise their offspring in warmer waters

• In search of food and a warm place to hibernate

• In search of warmer weather and more access to food

What response do frogs in northern and southern states have to the seasonal changes of winter?

• Frogs in northern states hibernate longer than southern frogs.

• Frogs in southern states hibernate longer than northern frogs.

• Southern and northern frogs show no responses other than going into a period of dormancy.

• Southern and northern frogs adapt by changing their diet and hibernating for the winter.
