Newfoundland and Labrador Curriculum · from Gradelings · Name: ______________________
Question 1
Put the butterfly's life cycle in order.
- 🐛caterpillar
- chrysalis
- 🦋butterfly
- 🥚egg
egg → caterpillar → chrysalis → butterfly
Hint: It starts as a tiny egg on a leaf. A caterpillar hatches, makes a chrysalis, then comes out as a butterfly.
Question 2
A rubber ball is…
- 💨a gas
- 💧a liquid
- ⚽a solid
⚽ a solid
Hint: A ball keeps its shape, so it is a solid.
Question 3
Which thing will a magnet pull?
🧲- 🥤a paper cup
- 📎a paper clip
- 🪵a wooden block
📎 a paper clip
Hint: Magnets pull on some metals, like iron and steel. Paper clips are made of steel!
Question 4
Put the water cycle in order. Start with the sun warming the water.
- 🌊Water collects in rivers and oceans
- 🌧️Rain or snow falls
- ☁️Clouds form
- ☀️Sun warms water and it rises
Sun warms water and it rises → Clouds form → Rain or snow falls → Water collects in rivers and oceans
Hint: Warm water rises into the sky, makes clouds, falls as rain, and collects in rivers and oceans.
Question 5
Which animal hatches from an egg?
- 🐮a calf
- 🐦a robin
- 🐶a puppy
🐦 a robin
Hint: Birds lay eggs. Most mammals are born alive.
Question 6
A duck's webbed feet help it…
🦆- dig tunnels
- climb trees
- swim
swim
Hint: Webbed feet work like paddles.
Question 7
A fruit salad has apples, grapes and melon. It is a…
🍉- solid block
- mixture
- gas
mixture
Hint: A mixture is made of different things put together.
Question 8
A playground slide is an…
🛝- wedge
- inclined plane
- pulley
inclined plane
Hint: A slide is a slope.
Question 9
A balloon is blown up. What does the balloon show?
🎈- Air takes up space
- Air has no weight and no space
- Air is a liquid
Air takes up space
Hint: The balloon gets bigger because air fills it.
Question 10
Put the frog's life cycle in order.
- tadpole with legs
- tadpole
- 🐸frog
- 🧪eggs in a pond
eggs in a pond → tadpole → tadpole with legs → frog
Hint: Frogs start as eggs in a pond. Tadpoles hatch, grow legs, and become frogs.
