Energy is transferred into a circuit from a solar panel, which powers a lightbulb to produce light energy so that we can see. Name that CCC which can be used to study this?

• Change and Stability

• Scale, proportion, and quantity

• Systems and system models

• Energy and Matter

• Cause and Effect

Scale, Proportion and Quantity is one of the CCCs. Is the fly in the picture scaled up, scaled down, or normal size?

• Scaled up, flies are definitely not that small compared to people.

• Scaled down, flies are way bigger than a human eye.

• It looks normal to me!

This CCC is one example of how scientists are able to classify living organisms based on things like size, lifespan and numbers in a population.

• Change and Stability

• Scale, proportion, and quantity

• Systems and system models

• Energy and Matter

• Cause and Effect
