Question
Question
M&Ms and Skittles are two popular types of candy produced by
Mars, Incorporated. Both candies are circular in shape and have a
hard, colorful shell. The regular pack of M&Ms contains six
different colors. The regular pack of Skittles contains five
different colors. Each color M&M has the same chocolate flavor,
while each color Skittle has a different fruity flavor. You can
recognize M&Ms by the white “M” on their shell. Skittles, on the
other hand, have a white “S” on their shell.
Hurricanes and tornadoes are two storms that can cause terrible
destruction. Hurricanes form over oceans, while tornadoes form
over land. Most of the destruction from hurricanes comes from
tidal surges and flooding. The damage from tornadoes is caused by
their extremely high winds, which can destroy anything in the
tornado’s path. Both storms can cause serious injuries and even
death to people. Scientists measure hurricanes and tornadoes by
the strength of their winds.
Name four ways that M&Ms and Skittles are similar.
Name three ways that tornadoes and hurricanes are similar.
Question
Question
David sat at his desk and looked around his new classroom. It was
the same green color as his old classroom, but this one was a bit
larger in size. Instead of being in the shape of a square, this new
classroom was in the shape of an ‘L’. Just like in his old classroom,
David’s desk was placed in the front row so that he could see his
teacher’s writing. David was really excited because this new
classroom had five new computers in the back of it. His old
classroom had the same number of computers, but they were old
and broken.
Riley and Emma have to turn in their science projects for the
science fair tomorrow. They both chose to study the topic of
electricity for their projects. Riley examined how electricity moves
through different types of wires, while Emma examined how to
make a battery with a lemon. Riley created a display poster to
showcase the information she learned, while Emma decided to
create a short movie. At the science fair, Riley and Emma’s
projects both received awards for their work. Emma’s received 1st
place and Riley’s received 2nd place.
Name three ways that David’s new and old classrooms are similar.
Name three ways that Riley’s and Emma’s science projects are
similar.
