Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Oh, my, look up in the sky! What is that thing that's passing by? A beak, and feathers, I have a nest, It's where I go when I want to rest. Tell me truly, tell to me, When you look up, what do you see?

Answer: A robin

Robins are pretty birds with red breasts. They are often seen as a sign of spring. Like most birds, robins can fly. You would probably not see a turtle, cat, or dog in the sky, and they don't live in nests or have feathers.

2. Oh, my, look up in the sky! What is flying, oh, so high? Except for my wings, I look like a mouse, But a spooky cave is my favorite house! Tell me truly, tell to me, When you look up, what do you see?

Answer: A bat

Bats are not birds, but mammals. That means they have fur, not feathers, and produce milk for their babies. Many bats live in in caves, where they hang upside down when they are sleepy. Many people think bats are scary creatures, which is why you will often find them associated with Halloween! An eagle, like a bat, can fly, but it looks nothing like a mouse, and doesn't live in caves.

3. Oh, my, look up in the sky! You can see me if you try. I'm small, have wings, and make a buzz, My hive makes honey, yes it does! Tell me truly, tell to me, When you look up, what do you see?

Answer: A honeybee

Honeybees are useful creatures that make honey for us to eat, and also make wax, which is sometimes used to make candles. Honeybees live in large colonies called hives. Honeybees are cute, and fun to watch, but you should never try to touch one, because, like some other insects, they sting! Cockroaches and wasps can fly, but they don't make honey. Jellyfish live in the ocean.

4. Oh, my, look up in the sky! Watch me slowly flutter by. I'm very pretty, I don't sting, I've lots of colors on my wing! Tell me truly, tell to me, When you look up, what do you see?

Answer: A butterfly

Butterflies are some of the most beautiful of all insects; many have brightly colored wings. There are thousands of different kinds of butterflies. Butterflies don't sting, but you should never try to pick up a butterfly, especially by its wings, or you might hurt it. Fire ants, hornets, and bumblebees are all insects that might sting you if you touch them, so give them a wide berth!

5. Oh, my, look up in the sky! A thing of metal that can fly. I carry people to and fro, And mighty engines make me go. Tell me truly, tell to me, When you look up, what do you see?

Answer: An airplane

Taking a ride in an airplane is a very exciting experience. If you have to travel a long distance, an airplane is often the fastest way to get to your destination. Cars, trains, and motorcycles also carry people, but they don't fly, so you are very unlikely to see one of them in the sky.

6. Oh, my, look up in the sky! Be careful, I might hurt your eye! You see, I shine so very bright, When I'm not there, it's always night. Tell me truly, tell to me, When you look up, what do you see?

Answer: The sun

The sun is Earth's very own star. The Earth revolves around the sun once a year. The reason the sun looks so much brighter than the other stars is that it is much closer to us than they are. You should never look directly at the sun, because its light is so bright that it can damage your eyes.

7. Oh, my, look up in the sky! You see me slowly drifting by. I look fluffy, soft and white, It sometimes rains when I'm in sight. Tell me truly, tell to me, When you look up, what do you see?

Answer: A cloud

Clouds are actually masses of water vapor that have condensed to form tiny droplets of water. When conditions are right, the water falls to earth in the form of rain. It doesn't always rain when you see clouds, but it seldom rains when you don't. There are many different kinds of clouds.

8. Oh, my, look up in the sky! What a lovely thing to spy! You'll see me most often when it is night, I shine by the sun's reflected light. Tell me truly, tell to me, When you look up, what do you see?

Answer: The moon

Next to the sun, the moon is the brightest thing you will usually see in the sky. Unlike the sun, the moon does not produce its own light. Moonlight is actually sunlight, which is reflected off the moon. When it is night, the sun is on the opposite side of the earth. Depending on the moon's position, we may see none of it, part of it, or all of it, which we call a full moon. Sometimes, we can even see the moon during the daytime.

9. Oh, my, look up in the sky! Paper and sticks that love to fly! A windy day makes my time ready, I need a tail to keep me steady. Tell me truly, tell to me, When you look up, what do you see?

Answer: A kite

A kite is a fun toy that is usually made out of paper and sticks. Sometimes it is made out of plastic instead of paper. It is tied to a string, and when it is windy, the wind will carry the kite high into the sly. Most kites have a tail made of cloth or paper tied to the bottom; the tail helps to keep the kite steady in the wind. If you are flying a kite, make sure that you do it in an open area. Charlie Brown is always getting his kite stuck in a tree!

10. Oh, my, look up in the sky! It's just stopped raining, by-and-by. My bright colors are a sight to behold, And at my end is a pot of gold! Tell me truly, tell to me, When you look up, what do you see?

Answer: A rainbow

Have you ever seen a rainbow? They usually happen after a brief rain shower when the sun is still shining. To see a rainbow, you have to stand with your back to the sun. Rainbows are formed when white light from the sun passes through tiny rain drops, and is broken down into individual colors. According to legend, there is a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. That's not really true, but it's a fun story!
