This document discusses physical and chemical changes, states of matter, and phase changes. It defines a physical change as a change in size, shape, or state of matter without changing the type of matter. A mixture is two or more types of matter placed together where each type can be separated. Dissolving sugar in hot water creates a solution, not a mixture, since the sugar cannot be easily separated from the water. The document also defines the three states of matter - solid, liquid, and gas - and describes phase changes like evaporation and condensation that occur through heating and cooling.
This document provides instructions for writing a report about spiders. It outlines 5 steps: 1) Pre-write by asking questions and making a word web of facts; 2) Draft a paragraph describing one activity of the chosen spider species, such as web-building or catching prey, using time-order words; 3) Revise for clarity and details; 4) Edit and proofread; 5) Publish the report. Examples are given of pre-writing questions, a word web about orb weaver spiders, and a draft paragraph describing how an orb weaver catches insects using its trap line.
My backyard changes with the weather, sometimes having flowers bright in the sun or a branch breaking in the rain. On sunny days, the author enjoys listening to birds sing and smelling the freshly cut grass, but felt sad when a favorite branch to swing on broke during a rainy day.

The document provides instructions for a writing assignment where the student is to pretend to be a wolf helping two children, Tiblo and Tanski, return home to their camp. It outlines 4 steps for the assignment: 1) brainstorm landmarks, 2) create a map showing where the children met the wolf and the camp's location and a route between them, 3) draft directions using the map, and 4) finalize and publish the directions. It then provides examples of landmarks, a sample map, draft directions, and the final published directions for the children to follow a stream to a rock, take a path around bushes, follow the path to a large tree, and cross a meadow to find their camp.
This document defines matter as anything that takes up space and has weight. It discusses the properties of matter, including volume and mass, and explains that all objects are made of matter whether solid, liquid or gas. The document provides examples that an ice skate contains different types of matter like leather and metal, and the human body contains skin, bones, blood and other matter.
This document summarizes a science lesson on plant reproduction. It discusses how flowers contain seeds and are made up of petals and pistils. Pollen moves from stamens to pistils during pollination, allowing fertilization. Seeds contain embryos and seed coats, and dispersal methods like wind and animals help seeds reach new areas to germinate. The life cycle of flowering plants includes stages from seed to adult plant.
The document summarizes the key parts and functions of plants - roots anchor the plant and take in water and minerals from the soil, stems transport water and nutrients between the roots and leaves, and leaves use energy from sunlight through photosynthesis to produce food while releasing oxygen. It also reviews that the main plant parts are roots, stems, leaves and flowers, and asks questions about the functions of roots, stems and leaves.

The document summarizes the key parts and functions of plants - roots anchor the plant and take in water and minerals from the soil, stems transport water and nutrients between the roots and leaves, and leaves use energy from sunlight through photosynthesis to produce food while releasing oxygen. It also reviews that the main plant parts are roots, stems, leaves and flowers, and asks questions about the functions of roots, stems and leaves.
Roots hold plants in the ground and take in water and minerals from the soil. Stems hold up leaves, flowers, and fruit, and carry water, food, and minerals throughout the plant. Leaves use energy from the sun to make food, and take in carbon dioxide and release oxygen. The four main parts of a plant are roots, stems, leaves, and flowers.

didn't know what to get him. Besides, she had spent all
her money on a video game. When she told her friend
Harry about the problem, he had an idea.
"Gina," said Harry, "no one else in the neighborhood
has that video game. Just charge all the kids a quarter
to play it. You'll have lots of money in no time." Gina
thought that was a great idea -- and it was. Gina also
remembered that her Dad needed a new tie. He loved
the one she got him for his birthday.

At first, none of the people waiting in line wanted to
buy the baseballs that Max and Gordy were selling.
They didn't see any need to do so. However, when
Gordy pointed out that they could use the baseballs for
Dusty Field's autograph, everybody wanted one.
After they sold all of the baseballs, Max and Gordy
realized they had none left for Austin. They wanted to
get something special for Austin, who was sick at
home. They decided to buy Austin a $3 baseball and
get it autographed by Dusty Field.
7. Max's Idea
Max had $5. He was hoping to find something at the
Toys-R-Less sale. "Maybe they will have a $10 toy on
sale for $5!" he said to Gordy. That's when he saw the
baseballs. "I know how we can make a lot of money,"
he should to Gordy.
"What great money-making scheme do you have this
time?" asked Gordy.
"We can buy the balls for $.10 and sell the from $.
50," Max replied. Gordy shook his head. "Max, you've
done it again!" he said.
8. At the Game
Max and Gordy went to a basketball game after they
sold all the baseballs. "Let's give ourselves a little
treat," said Max. "And what will that be?" asked Gordy,
as he took off his sweatshirt.
"Let's save some money and buy a jumbo bag of
popcorn and one large soda," said Max.
Gordy thought Max's idea was perfect. "Max, you
always know the best way to save money. I'm going to
start calling you Mr. Shopright!"
