The young kestrels are eating.
The young kestrels hatch and climb out of the box to the ground where they learn to fly.

There is a picture of baby kestrels at the bottom of the box and the other picture is of a young kestrel looking out of the box.
The kestrels are using the straw in the box to stay warm.
The parent bird is feeding the young kestrel.
In the picture of a kestrel (bird), why would the kestrel bird need to have this interaction?
It needs to be able to fly to get away from predators.
It needs the box for shelter from weather and predators.
The babies are not able to eat all of the food at once, so the box hides the food from scavengers.
The kestrels need the box to protect them from the sun.

Think about what you read about the timberline being farther up a mountain than it used to be. What is a question that you have about this? Choose all that apply.
Has something happened to the soil?
Has the food for the plant moved up the mountain?
Has the climate changed?
Think about what you read about the timberline being farther up a mountain than it used to be. What kind of data could scientists gather? Choose all that apply.
Look at climate data from the past and now
Analyze the soil
Investigate how the seeds grow in different conditions.
Think about what you read about the timberline being farther up a mountain than it used to be. What could have caused these changes? Choose all that apply.
A hurricane could have come and killed trees at lower elevations.
Climate change makes it warmer.
Tree seedlings can’t grow where it’s warm.
There are many different kinds of food. If you could test every food with the indicators you used in class, what do you think you would find out? Why?
I would find out that some of the foods would test positive for at least one of the indicators and some of the foods would test negative. You can be a food and not be protein, fat, or carbohydrate.
In order to be food, it must contain at least one of the following substances: protein, fat, or carbohydrate, so it would test positive with one or more of the indicators.
In order to be considered a food, it must contain protein, fat, carbohydrates, vitamins, and minerals.
Some foods will not respond to the indicators but they still contain vitamins and minerals.
Which of the substances on this label for potato chips are considered food?
Fat, Carbohydrates (dietary fiber and sugars), Protein
Fat and Carbohydrates
Carbohydrates and Protein
Fat and Protein
Why are potato chips considered food?
We eat them.
They are solids.
They supply energy and building materials.
They can be grown in the ground or developed in a laboratory.
If you were writing an evidence-based explanation backing the claim that water is not food. Which of the following could you use as evidence? Choose all that apply.
Food labels show that water does not contain carbohydrates, protein, or fat.
We drink water and liquids can’t be food.
We tested the water for carbohydrates, proteins, and fats. These are substances in food, and water had none of these nutrients.
Water is good for you so it is not food.
If you were writing an evidence-based explanation backing the claim that water is not food which would be a best reasoning?
Our scientific principles tell us that food contains the substances protein, fat, and carbohydrates. Since water has these substances, it must not be food.
Our scientific principles tell us that food contains the substances protein, fat, and carbohydrates. Since water does not have these substances, it must be food.
Our scientific principles tell us that food contains the substances protein, fat, and carbohydrates. Since water does not have these substances, it must not be food.
Our scientific principles tell us that food contains the substances protein, fat, and carbohydrates. Since water has these substances, it must be food.
Is a seed food? What evidence do you have to support your claim?
A seed is food since it turned black when we put iodine on it. This is evidence that it contains starch which is a type of food.
A seed is food since we eat it.
A seed is not food since it grows into a new plant.
We are able to purchase seeds like peanuts, peas, and sunflower seeds from any grocery store.
What do plants need in order to grow? Choose all that apply.
a. Soil
b. Air
c. Water
d. Sunlight
Do plants need soil to grow? What evidence do you have to support your answer?
Plants need soil to grow since all the plants that I’ve seen grow in soil.
Plants do not need soil to grow.
Plants do not need soil to grow. My evidence is in the reading about hydroponics and how plants can grow in water if they are provided the proper nutrients and light.
Plants need soil to grow since that’s where they get their food.
Which evidence-based explanation is the most convincing?
Plants need food. I know this because plants are beautiful.
Plants need food. I know this because I see that the plant in our classroom has grown since the beginning of the year. It used to be just a few inches tall and now it is almost a foot tall. Growth counts as evidence that plants need food because the scientific principle tells us that living things need food to grow.
Plants need food. I know this because plants grow. Growth counts as evidence that plants need food because the scientific principle tells us that living things need food to grow.
Plants need food. I know this because I see the plant in our classroom has grown since the beginning of the year. It used to be just a few inches tall and now it is almost a foot tall. This makes sense because growth means it is eating something.
Why is the following a good claim:
Plants need food. I know this because I see that the plant in our classroom has grown since the beginning of the year. It used to be just a few inches tall and now it is almost a foot tall. Growth counts as evidence that plants need food because the scientific principle tells us that living things need food to grow.
It makes the most sense
It has a claim, evidence, and reasoning.
It is supported by a scientific principle
It is a long answer
