Please read this note from Ms VanderStel about science:

We will have a science test on plant adaptations next week Tuesday, December 10.  We will create a plant with adaptations over the next two days.  A review sheet will come home on Friday along with their plant adaptations.  The hardest part of this test is for them to list a plant adaptation and not the plants normal job.  For example, all plants have a stem that holds up the plant and brings water and nutrients!  This is the plants JOB!  An ADAPTATION would be bark on a tree to protect it from being eaten by animals or the cactus stem acts as a sponge and holds the water in the stem.  They must know the difference between the job and an adaptation that helps it survive.
