Chapter 9:
Vocabulary:
Pupa-The stage before the adult butterfly
Habitat-a place where plants and animals live
Canyon-a deep place with steep hills on either side
Classify-to group things that are alike in some way
Prey-an animal that is hunted for food
Predator-an animal that hunts other animals for food Important
Ideas: A canyon is a kind of habitat. Plants and animals get what they need to live from their habitat. They get air, water, shelter and food from their habitat.
Some animals that live in a canyon are rattlesnakes, pumas, eagles, and bighorn sheep. Some animals have special body parts to help them live in rocky homes. A puma has eyes in front of its head to help it see what it'hunts. When a rattlesnake shakes its tail, the sound warns away its enemies. A bighorn sheep's hooves help it to run on rocks to get away from enemies and find food.
Animals get their food in different ways. Some animals are predators and hunt others for food. Some animals are hunted by others as prey. Some animals are both predators and prey. An animal that is both predator and prey is a snake. It hunts and eats mice, but it is hunted by eagles. When scientists talk about animals, they often classify, or group them. Two differerent ways to classify things are by size (big and small groups) and shape (like circle and square groups)
Chapter 10
Vocabulary:
Weathering-the breaking up of rocks
Erosion-the carrying away of rocks and soil
Properties-how a thing feels, looks, tastes, smells, or sounds
Cave-a hole that can be made bigger over time
Guano-bat droppings
Size-one way rocks can be different
Important Ideas:
Rocks can be classified by their properties. The properties of one kind of
rock make it different from all other kinds of rocks.
Rocks can change over time. Weathering and erosion work together to
change rocks. Weathering breaks up rocks bit by bit, then erosion
carries the bits of broken rocks away. Two things that cause
weathering and erosion are wind and water.
A cave is one kind of habitat. A cave is formed when water breaks up
rocks and carries them away, making a hole. After a long time, water
makes the hole bigger and forms a cave. Many different animals live in
caves. Some animals that live in caves are rattlesnakes, beetles,
millipedes, bears and bats.
A cave is a good shelter, but sometimes it does not give animals everything
they need. Worms and beetles eat the guano left in the cave by bats. If there were no bats in the cave, though, they would have to go outside the
cave for food or find something else to eat.
