Probability (MS-LS1-4) The likelihood or chance that a particular event will occur. In biology, probability is often used to predict outcomes in genetics and inheritance.
Behavior (MS-LS1-4) The actions or reactions of an organism in response to its environment or other organisms. Behaviors can include feeding, mating, and social interactions.
Pollen (MS-LS1-4) Tiny grains produced by flowers, containing the male genetic material needed for fertilization. Pollen is often transferred to other flowers by wind or pollinators, like bees.
Flower (MS-LS1-4) The reproductive structure of flowering plants, which often has colorful parts to attract pollinators and produces seeds after fertilization.
Petal (MS-LS1-4) The often colorful and fragrant part of a flower that surrounds the reproductive organs. Petals attract pollinators, such as bees and butterflies.
Seed (MS-LS1-4) The reproductive unit of flowering plants, containing the embryo and nutrients needed to grow a new plant.
Fruit (MS-LS1-4) The mature ovary of a flower that contains seeds. Fruits develop after fertilization and help protect and disperse seeds.
Nectar (MS-LS1-4) A sweet liquid produced by flowers to attract pollinators. Nectar provides energy to pollinators, like bees and hummingbirds.
Germination (MS-LS1-4) The process by which a seed begins to grow and develop into a new plant when conditions are favorable, including water, oxygen, and suitable temperature.
Vocalization (MS-LS1-4) Sounds produced by animals, especially by birds and mammals, used to communicate, attract mates, mark territory, or signal alarm.
Plumage (MS-LS1-4) The feathers covering a bird’s body, which can be used for flight, insulation, camouflage, or attracting mates.
