Science is search for the laws of nature and for ways to use them for the benefit of mankind. A scientist is like a detective, searching for law and order as he or she investigates the creation of God. Senses, intelligence, books, and equipment are four basic tools you have to investigate nature. Tongue is the one sense you should not use.
Queen bee is a female bee that mates and lays eggs. Drone-a male bee; has no stinger and does no work. Only female bees can sting! A bee's stinger is a modified egg-laying structure, or ovipositor Pollen is the yellow "dust" that flowers use in producing seeds. Worker-a female bee that does not mate and lay eggs. Nectar is a sweet liquid made by flowers in order to attract insects. Pollination is the transfer of pollen from male to female plant parts. Honeybees survive in the winter by stay close together in their hive and move their wings to stay warm. Hibernate means to sleep through the winter. The ways you can prevent bee stings are: Stay away from insect nests; do not try to shoo insects away; be careful while you are mowing the lawn, pulling weeds, or cutting vines; do not go barefoot. Beetles is the insect order that is identified by a straight line down its abdomen. True bugs is the insect order identified by a V or X on its abdomen.
Almost every food chain begin with a green plant. Ray flowers are the white flowers that surround the daisy's disk flowers. Shrew is a tiny insectivore that must eat almost 24 hours a day. Polar bear fur appears white but is actually clear, hollow fibbers. The only flying mammal bat. Platypus is an egg-laying mammal with a bill. Panda is a carnivore that eats mostly bamboo
Opaque-does not let light pass through translucent-allows light to pass through, but scatters the light. Transparent-allows light to pass through; clear. The speed of light approximately 186,000 miles per second. Shadow is a a spot of darkness cast by an opaque object. Natural light comes from an object God made; artificial light comes from a man-made object. Thomas Edison invent the electric light bulb. An incandescent bulb works by heating a thin tungsten wire inside a glass bulb with electricity until it glows. Convex mirror is a mirror that bulges toward the viewer (it's scatter light) and concave mirrors focus light. The headlight is luminous, but the reflector is not. Leaves look green because they absorb all other colors in light and reflect green.
Tide is the systematic rise and fall of ocean water every six hours. Neap tide is a tide in which there is less of a difference between high and low tides. Spring tide-a tide which is higher or lower than normal tides. The three intertidal zones are: high-barnacles, middle-seaweed, mussels, whelk. low-kelp, sea urchins, sea anemones. The gravity of the moon and the sun pulling on the earth's waters causes tides. Algae helpful to people as fertilizer, as a source of iodine, in food, and in drug products
