Which of the following is arranged from biggest to smallest?
-
Galaxy, universe, constellation, solar system
-
Universe, galaxy, constellation, solar system
-
Universe, constellation, galaxy, solar system
-
Galaxy, constellation, universe, solar system
Think about it, and when you think you know the answer, then continue.
The answer is 2.
- The universe is the largest, containing all galaxies, constellations, and solar systems.
- Galaxies come next. Each galaxy contains millions of stars.
- Constellations are made up of several individual stars which are often separated by hundreds of lightyears, and only appear close together from our view point on Earth.
- Each star can have one or more planets, forming a solar system.

These cells DO NOT have a cell wall. What does that tell us?
-
These are young cells.
No. Even new cells can have a cell wall. -
These are NOT plant cells.
Yes! Plant cells are surrounded by a cell wall, which provides structure and protection. -
These are NOT animal cells.
No. Animal cells do not have a cell wall. -
These are dead cells.
No. Being alive or dead does not change whether a cell has a cell wall or not.

The light area on the left side of this photo is the Milky Way. What is the Milky Way?
-
A constellation.
No. The Milky Way contains many more stars than a constellation. -
A solar system.
No. A solar system only has one star, not a huge number of stars. -
A galaxy.
Yes! Our solar system is part of the Milky Way galaxy. When we lived in the city, the lights made it difficult to see the Milky Way. Now that we live far from city lights, it is amazingly easy to see. -
A universe.
No. The Milky Way is only a small part of the entire universe.

This wasp is hunting the caterpillars that are eating this plant. Which of these is NOT a consumer?
-
The plant
Yes! The plant is a producer, not a consumer. Producers make their own food. -
The caterpillar
No. The caterpillar is a consumer because it eats the plant. -
The plant and the caterpillar
No. The caterpillar is a consumer. -
The caterpillar and the wasp
No. Consumers eat other organisms. Both the caterpillar and the wasp consume other living things, making them both consumers.

Which part of the food web does this roadrunner belong to?
-
Producer.
No. A producer captures energy from sunlight, and stores it as food. To do that, the organism needs to contain chlorophyll. -
Primary Consumer.
No. Primary consumers eat producers. In spite of what you may have seen in cartoons, roadrunners do not eat plants or bird seed. -
Secondary Consumer
Yes! Secondary consumers eat other consumers. Roadrunners are predators, and eat lizards, snakes, mice, and many other small animals. -
Decomposer
No. Roadrunners may occasionally scavenge freshly killed animals, but they are not decomposers.
