LIFE SCIENCE: PLANTS AND PHOTOSYNTHESIS Plants have three main parts: ROOTS, STEMS

and LEAVES Plants use PHOTOSYNTHESIS to make their

food by using energy from the sun

LIFE SCIENCE: ADAPTATION AND MIGRATION

Living organisms ADAPT in order to survive Many organisms will MIGRATE to warmer

areas in order to survive harsh winters

EARTH SCIENCE: SOIL AND ITS PROPERTIES

Soil is an important part of plant and animal life

Soil has properties to classify it: Color Texture Ability to hold water Ability to grow plants

EARTH SCIENCE: MINERALS

Minerals are nutrients that occur naturally in the ground.

Plants get the minerals they need from the soil.

EARTH SCIENCE: ROCKS

Classify rocks into three categories: Sedimentary Igneous Metamorphic

Water Cycle: Evaporation Condensation Precipitation Groundwater/Runoff

Water Cycle (click)

Weather: properties of the atmosphere at a given time and location, including temperature, air movement and precipitation

About Weather (click)

EARTH SCIENCE: CLIMATE

Climate: the average weather for long periods of time and in a specific region

Climate vs. Weather (click)

Climate Regions: Temperate Polar Desert Tropical Tundra

SPACE SCIENCE: EARTH-SUN-MOON SYSTEM

Day-Night Cycle: The earth ROTATES every 24 hours The earth REVOLVES around the sun every 365

days The sun is a starRotation vs. Revolution (click)

Moon Phase: the apparent shape of the lighted part of the moon that can be seen from Earth

Moon Phases (click)

SPACE SCIENCE: EARTH-SUN-MOON SYSTEM

Season: a period of the year determined by the position of Earth as it revolves around the sun

The Seasons (click)

SPACE SCIENCE: STARS AND SOLAR SYSTEM

Solar System: made up of a sun, planets and stars

Planets: large circular mass that revolves around a star Inner vs. OuterInner vs. Outer Planets (click)

Constellations: the night sky shows patterns created by groups of starsConstellations (click)

PHYSICAL SCIENCE: MEASURING MATTER

Matter: material that has mass and takes up some amount of space

Mass: the amount of matter in an object Weight: the force of gravity on an object Defining Matter (click)Mass (click)Weight (click)

States of Matter: Solid, Liquid, GasStates of Matter (click)

PHYSICAL SCIENCE: CHANGES IN MATTER

Form changes: Solid to Liquid: Melting Liquid to Gas: Vaporizing Gas to Liquid: Condensing Liquid to Solid: Freezing

PHYSICAL SCIENCE: ENERGY

Energy: the ability to do work or cause change; can be changed into different forms and can move between objects

Energy from Sun (click)Changes in Energy (click)

PHYSICAL SCIENCE: FORMS OF ENERGY/WAVES

Energy comes in different forms (light, heat, mechanical, chemical, sound, magnetic)

Forms of Energy (click)Sound Energy (click)

Waves: energy travels in waves We can measure these waves in different

ways: wavelength, amplitude and frequencySound Waves (click)

PHYSICAL SCIENCE: LIGHT ENERGY

LIGHT: waves of electromagnetic energy; electromagnetic energy that people can see

Light (click)

Color: a property of an object that depends upon the wavelengths of light reflected by the object

White light is made of seven colors. All things reflect color and absorb color. We see an object in the color it reflects. Apples reflect red color. So, they appear red.
