There is no answer key for this page. The intention is for students to think about what constitutes life. You’ll gain more understanding about living organisms as you go through more lessons.
where do you find the answers for is it alive?
He is loving the lessons
Love it! My son Shimon age 4 got them all right.
Me and my kid both LOVED this lesson and the whole unit so far.
Sure! Check out Unit 6 on Sound. Lesson 1 is on Vibrations:

This is one of several lessons, but yes, this is the first introductory lesson in this section. What did you observe?
is it suggested to watch the “is it alive” video as the lesson, writing down what you think about it being alive or not and that concluded the lesson?
Where are the answers to the “Is it Alive?” video?

Caroline,
The Eastern Screech owl eats many things including mice, worms and many insects. Yes, it is illegal to keep one in captivity. You should bring it to a bird or wildlife rehabilitation center as soon as possible. If you don’t know of any in you area, contact your state fish and wildlife.
I hope this helped,
Thomas
We found an eastern screech owl in our chimney. Can you tell me what it eats?Will it drink from a bowl?Is it illegal to keep it? (will it eat crickets or worms)

It’s an flv file, so you’ll need to view this on a device that can view flash files (so you’ll want to try a computer, not a mobile device). Does that help?
This video doesn’t show up at all – there is nothing to click on. I’ve tried Internet Explorer, Firefox and Safari browsers. Is it still there?
We just joined SC Science and I wanted to say how much my kids actually enjoyed Science today. I have been homeschooling for 4 years now and we have used a few different science curriculum’s and none have really ever sparked interest for science with my kids. I gave SCS a try because I liked the engaging videos done by a real person as opposed to the annoying cartoons you find in a lot of online currics. My kids are in 4th grade and we started off today with unit 16 – lesson 1 and finished our lesson by watching the video “how to keep a scientific journal” in unit zero. We are all excited about science next week!
There is a lot of cross-over, but earth science studies the earth and it’s composition (what it’s made up of) whereas life science studies the living organisms that inhabit the earth.
Is earth and life science the same thing?
