Students reason through adaptations and the give-and-take inside ecosystems. Part A's multiple-choice questions explain why desert animals have large ears for releasing heat, recognize a bee pollinating a flower as mutual help, predict that prey populations drop when a new predator arrives, and pick waterproof feathers and webbed feet as a duck's pond adaptation. Part B fills in blanks about migrating for winter, chameleons changing skin color, dependence between species, beavers building dams to make ponds, and photosynthesis turning sunlight into food.
These are the connect-the-dots problems that turn ecosystem facts into real ecological understanding.

Habitats and Ecosystems
Part A: Multiple Choice
Circle the best answer for each question.
1. Why do some desert animals have large ears?
A) To hear predators from miles away.
B) To release extra body heat and stay cool.
C) To collect rainwater for drinking.
D) To dig burrows in the sand.
2. Which is an example of two species helping each other?
A) A hawk eating a snake.
B) A bee pollinating a flower while collecting nectar.
C) A lion chasing a zebra.
D) A mushroom growing on a dead log.
3. What happens to an ecosystem when a new predator is introduced?
A) Prey populations may decrease quickly.
B) Producers will disappear first.
C) Decomposers will leave the area.
D) The weather will change.
4. Which adaptation helps a duck survive in a pond habitat?
A) sharp claws for climbing trees
B) a long neck for reaching tall leaves
C) waterproof feathers and webbed feet
D) thick fur for cold winters
Part B: Fill in the Blank
Write the correct answer on each line.
1. Animals that move to a warmer place for winter are said to migrate.
2. A chameleon changes its skin color to blend in with its surroundings.
3. Plants and animals in an ecosystem are dependent on each other to survive.
4. A beaver builds a dam across a stream, which creates a pond habitat.
5. The process plants use to make food from sunlight is called photosynthesis.
