This is a poster from Shell Beach. The Nguyen family plans to visit Shell Beach. Can they predict the weather during their trip based on the claim in the poster?

Yes, the poster guarantees the weather will be warm and sunny during their trip.

They can ONLY predict the weather by checking the local news.

It depends on the time of year they are visiting.

No, the poster describes the temperature of the ocean.

Does the pattern in the lengths of day and night help explain why summer weather is hotter than winter weather?

Yes, longer days and shorter nights in summer allow more sunlight to reach the Earth's surface, leading to warmer temperatures.

Yes, but only in the Northern Hemisphere.

No, the length of day and night has no effect on temperature.

No, it's because the Earth is closer to the Sun in summer.

Each day, the Sun appears to move across the sky. Compare its paths on summer days and winter days.

The Moon might have been in the full Moon phase.

The stars might have been shining too brightly.

Which pattern describes the monthly cycle of the Moon?

new Moon, waxing phases, full Moon, waning phases

new Moon, waning phases, full Moon, waxing phases

new Moon, full Moon, waxing phases, waning phases

Which structures of a cactus function to enable them to live in their environment? Select THREE correct answers.

roots that spread widely to take in water

a stem that stores water and makes food

spines, or needles, that help protect the plant

wide leaves that take in sunlight

seeds that form in cones instead of flowers

A strong wind can blow down some trees but not others. How can differences in the roots of trees help explain this observation?

Trees with deeper and wider root systems are more stable and less likely to be blown over.

Trees with smoother bark are more likely to be blown over.

Trees with more leaves are more likely to be blown over.

Trees with taller trunks are more likely to be blown over.

In many plants, the leaves have a waxy coating. What is the function of the waxy coating?

keeping water inside the leaves

making food from the energy of sunlight

keeping the leaves cool in summer and warm in winter

Observe the photo of the thorny stem of this rosebush. Do the thorny structures on a plant help it survive in its environment?

Yes, thorny structures can help a plant survive by protecting it from herbivores that might eat it.

No, thorny structures make plants less attractive to pollinators.

No, thorny structures make plants more likely to be damaged by wind and rain.

Yes, thorny structures help plants absorb more sunlight.

This is a photo of a tree. Can a woodpecker change the traits of a tree?

Yes. A woodpecker pecks holes in the tree, so those holes are acquired traits.

Yes. A woodpecker changes the seeds, which affect the inherited traits of the tree.

No. A woodpecker does not change the tree’s shape, size, or other properties.

No. A woodpecker can change the tree’s appearance but not its traits.

Is the petal color of a flower an inherited trait?

Yes, petal color is an inherited trait. It is determined by the genetic information passed down from parent plants to their offspring.

No, petal color is determined by the environment, such as the amount of sunlight or water the plant receives.

No, petal color is a learned behavior that plants acquire over time.

Yes, but only in some species of flowers.

This is a photo of plants in the sunlight. How do plants use the energy of the sunlight?

to join carbon dioxide and water together to make sugars

to join water and oxygen together to make sugars

to keep sugars warm but not change them

What are the purposes of photosynthesis? Choose TWO correct answers.

use sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide to make food for a producer

use sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide to grow new leaves

use sunlight and water to release carbon dioxide into the air

use water and carbon dioxide to make sugar for a producer

This illustration shows a rubber tree plant investigation. Yusuf is investigating plants. He puts clear plastic food wrap around the leaves of one plant. He labels it "Plant A." He does not wrap the leaves of a second plant. Then he places both plants by a sunny window. He gives both plants water every day. Which question about plants is Yusuf investigating?

Do the leaves need gases from the air?

Do the leaves need water and sunlight?

Do the leaves take in nutrients from the soil?

Do the leaves need leaves to survive?

Are plants classified as producers? If so why?

Yes, plants are classified as producers because they can produce their own food through photosynthesis.

No, plants are not producers because they rely on clouds for energy.

No, plants are consumers because they eat other organisms.

Yes, plants are producers because they can grow very tall.

A classmate claims that fungi should be classified as a kind of plant. Do you agree? Explain.

No, I disagree. Fungi do not produce their own food like plants do. They get their nutrients by decomposing organic matter.

No, I disagree. Fungi are animals because they can move.

Yes, I agree. Fungi and plants both grow in soil and have similar structures

Yes, I agree. Both fungi and plants reproduce using seeds.

Which role do decomposers play in a food web?

Decomposers return matter to the soil.

Decomposers make energy from the Sun available to consumers.

Decomposers remove carbon dioxide from the air.

Decomposers add oxygen to the air.

This illustration shows a food web. Which sequence describes a possible flow of energy through the food web?

Sun -> grass -> grasshopper -> snake -> hawk

Sun -> grasshopper -> frog -> hawk

hawk -> snake -> grasshopper -> grass -> Sun

This illustration shows dinosaurs and plants. A scientist says it is a model of the ancient environment of Texas. Which of the following describes evidence that supports the scientist's statement?

Fossils of leafy plants and dinosaurs have been discovered in Texas.

Texas now has forests of leafy plants.

The first people to live in Texas told stories about dinosaurs.

Many wild animals of Texas look like small dinosaurs.

Fossils of shark teeth have been found in rocks across Texas. What do these fossils show about the history of Texas?

Texas was once covered by an ocean.

Sharks once lived on the land in Texas.

Texas was warmer than it is now.

Sharks once lived with alligators.

This photo shows a fossil dig. At this fossil dig, the scientists are discovering fossils of mammoths and other large, hairy mammals. What do the fossils show about the environment when these animals were alive?

The environment provided enough food to support large mammals.

The environment was very warm all year long.

The environment was underwater most of the time.

The environment was similar or identical to the land today.

The photo shows a fossil of an animal called an ammonite. Ammonite fossils have been discovered buried in the rocks of Texas. What conclusion about Texas do the fossil discoveries support?

Texas was once covered by a large body of water, such as a sea or ocean.

Texas has always been a land of deserts and plains.

Texas was once a volcanic region.
