key idea

A graphic organizer is a chart or picture that shows how ideas, facts, or topics are related to one another.

When you read, look for graphic organizers included in the text. You can use these images to find key information. You can also create your own graphic organizers with information that you've read. Doing this can help you think about the ideas in the text and easily review them.

When you write, you can use graphic organizers to organize your thoughts and plan your writing.

solution

A continuum scale compares things by ordering them along a line. This continuum scale compares the average weights of the eggs of several birds.

Hummingbird is shown close to the left end of the scale, labeled 0 g. This tells you that hummingbird eggs weigh close to 0 grams. Emu is shown close to the right end of the scale, labeled 600 g. This tells you that emu eggs weigh close to 600 grams. So, emu eggs are around 600 grams heavier than hummingbird eggs.
