From the list below, what is the best question that Kevin should ask about an organism to help him determine the habitat they are most likely to be found in?

You are working with your class to identify habitats within Georgia’s geographic regions. The table represents data for one type of habitat in Georgia.

What further question can you ask to further identify if the habitat is in the Piedmont region?

A heron is a bird that has a long, skinny beak that it uses to hunt fish, insects, and crustaceans while standing in shallow water. What question could a student ask to figure out where the heron would BEST survive in which habitat?

The letter X is most likely which type of habitat?

Which animals most likely live in this habitat?

Emily's family is moving to a different region in Georgia. She hopes to move some of her plants to a garden at her new home.

Answering which question would best help predict if her plants will survive in the new environment?

Your class takes a field trip to the local park and you identify a pretty flower.

From the list provided, what is the best question you could ask to determine why the flower you’ve seen grows so well in this habitat? 

The mountain laurel plant only grows in the mountain habitat of Georgia. This plant grows on rocky slopes in forested areas. A student wants to know if this plant could survive in the marsh and swamp habitat.

What question should the student ask and why?

Pine trees are able to live in many habitats in Georgia, including the Piedmont habitat that has dense clay soil.

What is the best question that scientists should ask to help them learn more about the other types of habitats that pine trees can live in?

Bob went on a trip with his family to learn more about plants in Georgia. He took a picture of an interesting plant that he found. He told his friends to ask questions about the plant’s features that would help them identify which plant it is and how its features help it survive.

Which of the following TWO questions would be best to ask to prove they understand how a plant’s features help it survive?

You are playing a game with your classmates. In this game, someone chooses a Georgia plant and answers questions from others to help them figure out which plant has been chosen.

You must ask questions about the features of the plant that help it survive (adaptations!). Which of the following questions could be asked?

In a forest habitat with limited (little/small amount of) sunlight, what adaptations do plants develop to reach for sunlight?

How do plants in a marshy habitat adapt to having their roots submerged in water?

Which feature helps plants in a windy coastal habitat to survive the harsh weather?

Noah is playing a guessing game, trying to figure out which Georgia habitat a hooded pitcher plant lives in.  He gets to ask two questions before he guesses.  Below is a list of questions Noah has made.

1. In what type of soil does it grow best?

2.  Does it need sunlight? 

3.  Can it survive in hot humid conditions?

4.  What color is it?

Which two questions will best help Noah decide which habitat a hooded pitcher plant grows in?
