Example Question #4 : Observe How Animal Offspring Are Similar To Parents
Baby animals look identical to their parents in all ways.
True
False
False
Animal parents and their offspring do not look exactly the same. Baby animals inherit traits from both parents and are not the same size as adult animals.
Example Question #5 : Observe How Animal Offspring Are Similar To Parents
This picture is of an adult goose and its offspring. Why does the baby goose look different?
They are two different animals, so they cannot look the same.
Baby animals only look like their father's, and that is the mother.
Parents and their offspring look similar but are not identical.
Parents and their offspring look similar but are not identical.
The baby goose and its parent look different because offspring and adults look similar, not exact. The geese both have two legs, two wings, similar shaped bills, and bodies. They are different colors because the baby goose has not gotten its feathers yet and is much smaller than the adult goose.
Example Question #2 : Observe How Animal Offspring Are Similar To Parents
What similarities are there between this father and his offspring?
Similar colors, face, shape, fur, and nose.
These dogs have no similarities.
Similar size, same exact colors, and fur.
Similar colors, face, shape, fur, and nose.
These dogs are similar in many ways. They both have similar types of fur and colors (the puppy has some brown so his mother may have brown in her fur), their nose and face are similar shapes, and they look like the same breed of dog. Parents and their offspring are usually very similar.
Example Question #7 : Observe How Animal Offspring Are Similar To Parents
If a mother and father both have blonde hair and brown eyes, what would their child most likely look like?
Red hair and green eyes
Blond hair and brown eyes
Brown hair and blue eyes
Blond hair and brown eyes
The child would look similar to his or her parents because offspring usually have similar characteristics to their parents. The offspring would probably have brown eyes and blonde hair as well.
Example Question #41 : Life Science
Baby birds will chirp and cry to let their parents know they are hungry and want food. The parents know to bring them food when they hear the cries. One parent stays and watches the babies while the other goes to collect food.
How are the parents and offspring behaving to help them survive?
They are behaving poorly and will not survive.
They all work on their own.
They are working together.
They are working together.
The parents and offspring are working together to survive. The babies have learned to call out for food and the parents know this means the babies are hungry. The parents have a system to watch the babies and collect food so everyone is safe.
Example Question #52 : 1st Grade Science
Bird 1: Does not prepare a nest ahead of time, lays eggs near the ground in a weak nest.
Bird 2: Builds a strong nest ahead of time, lays her eggs in the nest high up in the trees.
Which bird is behaving in a way that will help the babies survive?
Both birds
Bird 2
Bird 1
Bird 2
Bird 2 is behaving in a way to help her babies survive. She has picked a spot high in the trees away from predators and humans, she has built a strong nest, and she is ready for her eggs.
Example Question #53 : 1st Grade Science
How do some animal parents help their young grow up?
Leave them alone to learn everything.
Protect them, feed them, and teach them skills.
Animals do not help their young grow up.
Protect them, feed them, and teach them skills.
Some animals help their young grow up by protecting, feeding and teaching them skills. Many animal parents pass on patterns of behavior to their offspring so they can survive and grow into adults.
Example Question #54 : 1st Grade Science
Animal groups and their babies stay close together to help them survive.
True
False
True
This statement is true. Many animal groups are careful to keep their babies close to them or in the center of the group, so they don't get lost or hurt. Elephants, for example, move all the babies to the middle when traveling, so they aren't able to get away from the group.
Example Question #42 : Life Science
What behavior is this mother using to keep her baby safe?
The baby is carrying the mother.
Carry her baby and keeping it close.
Playing with her baby and having fun.
Carry her baby and keeping it close.
The mother chimpanzee in this photo is carrying her baby and keeping it close. The baby is not as fast as the mom or able to climb as well, so carrying the baby means it can keep up and won't get lost. The mothers keep the babies safe this way.
Example Question #56 : 1st Grade Science
What is this mother cat doing to help her kittens survive?
Taking a nap
Hugging them
Feeding them
Feeding them
This mother cat is allowing her kittens to nurse and drink milk. She is in charge of feeding them to keep them alive. If she did not behave this way, the kittens would have no milk.
