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.

Running a mile is fun with my friends.
When I play video games I want to play forever.
Jumping up and down on a trampoline is good exercise.
A person stands in the middle of snowstorm with temperatures at 20 degrees below zero. The person’s body begins to shiver which helps to warm up the body. What CCC is this an example of?
Energy and Matter
Stability and Change
Pattern identification

Thinking about scale in the CCCs, let's say your teacher has one eye the size of a normal eyeball and one eye the size of a basketball. Would their eyes be to scale?
No way! One eye would NOT be to scale.
Sure thing! All teachers have one small and one gigantic eyeball on their heads
Energy and matter interactive in an ecosystem? Which example shows this CCC?
A fly caught in a spider's web shows energy and matter
A food web is made to hold food off the ground
A food web is like the internet but for food
A food web shows how energy flows through an ecosystem
The carrying capacity in an ecosystem of the following graph is 1000. When the trend on the graph keeps going in a straight line on the graph, this represents balance, which is using what CCC?
Cause and Effect
Identifying Patterns
