DOUBLE JEOPARDY
A plant introduced from outside its native
habitat with characteristics that help
them dominate an area and limit diversity.
What is... An Invasive Species?
DOUBLE JEOPARDY
This native plant is also called Wild Carrot.
It‘s numerous small white flowers make up
a large cluster resembling a type of fabric
which the plant is named after.
What is ... Queen Anne‘s Lace?
DOUBLE JEOPARDY
This plant likes `wet feet‘ and is the 1st
wildflower to pop through our cold winter
soil. The flower buds create enough heat
to melt snow and the flower & leaves have
a distinct odor which protects it from
being eaten by animals.
What is ... Skunk Cabbage?
DOUBLE JEOPARDY
This invasive species has
triangular leaves and
blue berries
What is ... Mile-a-Minute Weed?
DOUBLE JEOPARDY
PLANTS
DAILY DOUBLE
This native plant has heartshaped leaves. Both the leaves
and purple flowers are edible &
are rich in Vitamin A & C.
What is . . . Wild Violet?
DOUBLE JEOPARDY
The Northern Pike & Muskellunge thrive in
water temperatures between 60o and 80o
F, preferring 65-70 degrees, therefore it
is known as this temperature-range fish.
What is a coolwater fish?
DOUBLE JEOPARDY
Fish do have ears – internal– but they also
have this feature – a row of tiny pores
which runs from the head to the tail - to
help them pick up vibrations and hear.
What is the... Lateral Line?
DOUBLE JEOPARDY
This fin helps a fish
keep its balance and
move through the
water; turning sharply,
and stopping quickly.
What is the pelvic fin?
All fish have a body temperature fairly equal
to the surrounding water temperature. This
characteristic is known as:
What is... Cold Blooded or Ectotherm?
DOUBLE JEOPARDY
These small fish (about 4“) are PA‘s most
abundant & most colorful fish and are ecologically
important as their presence in a waterway
reflects good water quality and diveristy.
What are ... Darters?
DOUBLE JEOPARDY
A topographic map with green areas
on it depicts this land feature.
What are ... Trees/forests
DOUBLE JEOPARDY
Soils horizons are layers of soil. This horizon
is a subsoil layer near the top with some
organic matter and a higher clay content
What is... The B Horizon
DOUBLE JEOPARDY
These brown features on topographic maps
reveal the shape of the surface and refer
to the elevation and slope of various areas.
What are . . . Contour Lines
DOUBLE JEOPARDY
SOILS
DAILY DOUBLE
Soils that are transported and deposited
in another area by way of WIND
What is ... Loess?
DOUBLE JEOPARDY
When you analyze the amount/percent of
sand, silt and clay particles in a sample of
soil you are determing this.
What is ... Soil Texture?
DOUBLE JEOPARDY
This insectivore has 5 toes; sharp,
pointed teeth and a pointy nose; is
active year-round and is 3 to 5
inches long.
What is a ... Shrew?
DOUBLE JEOPARDY
This nocturnal mammal of woods and rural
areas is an omnivore. To defend itself
against predators, it will first stamp its
feet before releasing its musk.
What is . . . Striped Skunk?
DOUBLE JEOPARDY
Bears, raccoons and skunks walk in this
manner - on the soles of their feet with
the heels touching the ground.
What is ... Plantigrade
DOUBLE JEOPARDY
This nocturnal carnivore of the woods is
the only member of the canine family
that can climb trees.
What is ... The Gray Fox?
DOUBLE JEOPARDY
A broad, flat, leathery tail; thick fur;
dextrous feet with long claws; upper and
lower incisors. All these features which
help the beaver survive in its environment
are known as:
What are ... Physical Adaptations?
DOUBLE JEOPARDY
Animals that eat meat AND plants.
What are ...Omnivores?
DOUBLE JEOPARDY
A behaviorial adaptation of bats is to
migrate south or go through this
process where the body temperature
drops, respiration and heartbeat slows,
and mobility ceases.
What is . . . Hibernation?
DOUBLE JEOPARDY
The part of the flower
which catches the pollen
to aid in fertilization.
What is ... The Stigma?
DOUBLE JEOPARDY
Decomposed parts of plant or animal
material in the soils.
What is … Organic Matter?
DOUBLE JEOPARDY
The process where temperature
fluctuations, wind, water, ice, plant
roots, and chemical reactions of soil
minerals break up bedrock to make soil.
What is ... Weathering ?
DOUBLE JEOPARDY
