    What is it called when animals such as butterflies and frogs go through a body change during their life cycles?

    • Growth and Change

    • Symbiosis

    • Metamorphosis

    Correct Answer
    A. Metamorphosis
    Explanation
    Metamorphosis is the correct answer because it refers to the process in which animals, such as butterflies and frogs, undergo a complete transformation in their body structure and appearance during different stages of their life cycles. This process involves distinct physical changes, such as the transformation of a caterpillar into a butterfly or a tadpole into a frog, showcasing the remarkable ability of these animals to adapt and grow into their adult forms.

    1. What animal adaptation allows it to blend into its surroundings? For example, the snowshoe hare's fur turns white in the winter and brown in the summer.

    • Camouflage

    • Hiding

    • Mimicry

    • Chameleon

    Correct Answer
    A. Camouflage
    Explanation
    Camouflage is the correct answer because it refers to the animal adaptation that allows it to blend into its surroundings. This adaptation helps animals to hide from predators or to ambush prey by blending in with their environment, making it difficult for other animals to detect them. The example of the snowshoe hare changing the color of its fur to match the seasons further supports the concept of camouflage.

    Why does the moon appear to change shape in the sky?

    • No, it's the amount of sunlight reflected that changes.

    • No, it's the light reflected from the earth that changes.

    • Yes, it can change shape.

    Correct Answer
    A. No, it's the amount of sunlight reflected that changes.
    Explanation
    The moon appears to change shape in the sky because the amount of sunlight reflected by the moon changes. As the moon orbits around the Earth, the relative positions of the Sun, Earth, and moon cause different portions of the moon to be illuminated. This changing illumination creates the different phases of the moon that we observe from Earth.

    Which habitat or biome covers 1/5 of the earth

    • Grassland

    • Desert

    • Ocean

    Correct Answer
    A. Desert
    Explanation
    Deserts cover approximately 1/5 of the earth's surface, making it the correct answer. Deserts are characterized by extremely low precipitation and are often found in areas where there is little vegetation. These regions have extreme temperature ranges, with scorching hot days and freezing cold nights. The lack of water and harsh conditions make it difficult for most plants and animals to survive in deserts.

    During what stage of the water cycle does water turn into a cloud?

    • Precipitation

    • Condensation

    • Evaporation

    Correct Answer
    A. Condensation
    Explanation
    Condensation is the correct answer because it is the stage in the water cycle where water vapor in the atmosphere cools and changes back into liquid water, forming clouds. This occurs when warm air rises and cools, causing the water vapor to condense around tiny particles in the air, such as dust or smoke. As the water vapor condenses, it forms visible water droplets or ice crystals, which make up clouds. Therefore, condensation is the stage where water turns into a cloud in the water cycle.

    What is a physical change?

    • Baking a cake

    • Cutting up paper

    • Rust on a car

    Correct Answer
    A. Cutting up paper
    Explanation
    A physical change refers to a change in the physical properties of a substance without altering its chemical composition. Cutting up paper is a physical change because it involves the physical alteration of the paper's shape and size, but the paper itself remains the same substance. Baking a cake involves a chemical change as the ingredients undergo a reaction to form a new substance, and rust on a car is also a chemical change as iron reacts with oxygen in the presence of moisture to form a new compound.

    Rate this question:
