Example Question #2 : Use Resources To Determine Patterns In Behavior
Female elephants will help care for the young in the herd. Even if it is not their baby, they will protect it. Gorillas will take turns watching the babies and will baby-sit while the mother is out looking for food. Female lions will raise their babies together in their pride. They will teach them the skills to survive and will protect them.
What patterns can be seen with all of these different animals that help keep their babies alive?
Female animals help raise all of the babies.
Male animals help raise all of the babies.
There are no patterns in this passage.
Female animals help raise all of the babies.
In this short passage, all of the female animals will help raise each other's babies. They will teach them the necessary skills, feed them, baby-sit, and protect the young in their groups. Even if it is not their baby they will help.
Example Question #20 : Patterns In Behavior Of Parents And Offspring
Animal (and human) parents show patterns of behavior that help their offspring (babies) survive.
True
False
True
This is a true statement. Animals within the same species and across the animal kingdom demonstrate behaviors that keep their babies alive. Readers can compare multiple animals and find patterns in their behavior. One example is parents keeping children close - dogs, cats, humans, lions, and monkeys will keep their babies close to them so they can watch and teach them.
Example Question #1 : Earth And Space Science
What type of moon is this?
New moon
Full moon
No moon
Full moon
This is called a full moon. We can observe the moon in the night sky and see that at different parts of the night it is somewhere different in the sky. It will also appear to change it's size and shape based on the time of month.
Example Question #2 : Earth And Space Science
Which answer lists what we can see in the night sky?
The Moon and stars.
The Sun and Moon.
The stars and Sun.
The Moon and stars.
In the night sky, the moon and stars can be seen. We cannot see the sun during the nighttime. By looking up in the sky, we can observe and record what we see.
Example Question #3 : Earth And Space Science
What do we call this bright object in the sky?
The Moon
The Sun
It does not have a name
The Sun
This is the Sun. It is seen during the daytime. It is the only star in our solar system and gives our planet warmth.
Example Question #4 : Earth And Space Science
Sam looks out her window in the morning and observes the Sun in the sky. Later she looks outside and it is still light out but she can't see the Sun anymore. Why?
The Sun has disappeared and can't be seen again.
The Sun can only be seen in the morning time from Sam's home.
The Earth has moved to the Sun is in a different part of the sky.
The Earth has moved to the Sun is in a different part of the sky.
Sam cannot see the Sun out of her window in the evening or later in the day because the Earth has moved! The Sun appears to move through the sky but it is actually the Earth that is moving. As the Earth spins the Sun appears in different parts of the sky.
Example Question #5 : Earth And Space Science
The stars can only be seen during the night.
True
False
True
This is a true statement. We can see one star during the day, our star the Sun, but we cannot see all of the other stars and constellations. During the daytime, the Sun it too bright for us to see other stars.
Example Question #6 : Earth And Space Science
Which objects are seen in the daytime?
The Sun and Moon.
The Moon, clouds, and stars.
The Sun and clouds.
The Sun and clouds.
During the daytime, we are only able to see the Sun and clouds. It is too bright to see the Moon and the stars. Sometimes when it is cloudy, even the Sun is hard to see!
Example Question #1 : Make Observations Of The Sun, Moon, And Stars
What objects can be seen in the night sky?
Clouds and stars.
Clouds, the Moon, and the stars.
The Moon and the Sun.
Clouds, the Moon, and the stars.
During the nighttime, we can see the Moon, stars, and clouds. We can only see the Sun during the daytime. Some nights when it is cloudy it can even be hard to see the Moon and stars!
Example Question #1 : Make Observations Of The Sun, Moon, And Stars
Looking up into the night sky Tyrik sees white dots like those in the picture. What are they?
The Moon
Stars
The Sun
Stars
What Tyrik sees are stars! Stars can only be seen at night because during the day, the Sun is too bright. These stars are very far away and incredibly bright.
