Step-by-step solution for: Stimulus and Response Worksheet 2 with Answers | PDF
It looks like you've uploaded a worksheet titled "Stimuli, Response, Behavior Worksheet Page 3", which is designed to help students understand the relationship between stimuli (external or internal triggers), responses (reactions to those stimuli), and behavior (the observable action).
However, since I can't view images directly, I’ll need you to provide the text of the task or describe what’s in the image. Specifically:
- What are the stimuli listed?
- What are the responses?
- What are the behaviors?
- What is the instruction asking you to do? (e.g., match stimuli to responses, identify behaviors, etc.)
But based on the visible text in your image description, here's what I can infer:
---
The worksheet asks students to:
1. Cut out blocks.
2. Match the correct stimulus to the appropriate response.
3. Glue or staple the blocks into matching spaces.
There are two columns:
- Left column: Stimuli (e.g., "Hearing a high-pitched whistle", "Feching the heat on concrete on a hot day")
- Right column: Responses/Behaviors (e.g., "Holding in the face", "Running in the opposite direction of a sound")
---
Match each stimulus (a change in the environment or internal condition) with the correct behavioral response that an organism might show.
For example:
- Stimulus: Hearing a high-pitched whistle
→ Response: Holding in the face (likely a reflexive reaction to loud noise)
Or:
- Stimulus: Feeling the heat on concrete on a hot day
→ Response: Running to cafeteria (to escape the heat)
---
1. Understand the terms:
- Stimulus: Something that causes a reaction (e.g., sound, temperature, light).
- Response: The organism's reaction to the stimulus (e.g., moving away, hiding, crying).
- Behavior: Observable actions resulting from the response.
2. Look for logical connections:
- A stimulus should trigger a response that makes biological sense.
- Example: If a stimulus is “Seeing a insect buzzing near,” the response might be “Flies off to hunt” — but that doesn’t make sense unless the insect is prey. Wait — actually, if a bird sees an insect, it might fly off to catch it. But if it's a person, they might flinch.
So we must consider what kind of organism is involved.
3. Use common sense and biology knowledge:
- For instance:
- Stimulus: Sunlight getting less and days colder → Response: Leaves turn brown (plants respond to seasonal changes)
- Stimulus: Fells tired → Response: Crawls into a hole (animal seeking shelter/rest)
- Stimulus: Loud explosion → Response: Falls asleep? That seems illogical. More likely: Runs away or Hides.
Wait — let's check one that seems mismatched:
- Stimulus: Loud explosion
→ Response: Falls asleep? That doesn't make sense.
So perhaps the response "Falls asleep" is meant to go with something like:
- Stimulus: Tiredness → Response: Falls asleep
Similarly:
- Stimulus: Seeing a insect buzzing near → Response: Flies off to hunt (if predator)
- Stimulus: Feels cold → Response: Huddles together (for warmth)
Let me now match the stimuli to the most logical responses based on typical biological behavior:
---
| Stimulus | Response / Behavior |
|--------------|--------------------------|
| Hearing a high-pitched whistle | Holding in the face *(reflex to loud noise)* |
| Hearing others ducks on a lake | Crowing along slowly along the ground *(possibly not accurate — maybe "quacking"? But could be social behavior)* |
| A loud noise from the surface of a lake | Running in the opposite direction of a sound *(fleeing danger)* |
| Drinks too much water | Urinating to excrete *(homeostasis)* |
| Runs when a whistle blows | Running to cafeteria *(maybe a trained response? e.g., animal training)* |
| Height flowers releasing odors | Attracts insects *(but this is a plant stimulus → response is chemical release)* — wait, this may be reversed. Actually, plant releases odor → insect responds. So perhaps not a direct match. |
| Loud explosion | Runs away or hides (not "falls asleep") — so possibly mislabeled |
| Chases a running man | Flying off to hunt *(doesn't fit — unless bird chasing human? unlikely)* |
Hmm — some of these seem odd. Let’s re-evaluate.
Wait — perhaps the right column includes both responses and behaviors, and we’re supposed to match them logically.
Let’s list all stimuli and try to find best matches:
---
1. Hearing a high-pitched whistle → Holding in the face
*(Reflex to loud sound — protective)*
2. Hearing others ducks on a lake → Crowing along slowly along the ground
*(Ducks making sounds — possibly social behavior; but “crowing” is more for roosters. Maybe typo? Should be “quacking”?)*
3. A loud noise from the surface of a lake → Running in the opposite direction of a sound
*(Avoiding danger)*
4. Feels the heat on concrete on a hot day → Running to cafeteria
*(Seeking shade or cooler place — possible, but “cafeteria” is strange unless in a school setting)*
5. Drinks too much water → Urinating to excrete
*(Homeostasis — removing excess water)*
6. Runs when a whistle blows → Running to cafeteria
*(Possibly trained behavior — e.g., animals go to feeding area on whistle)*
7. Height flowers releasing odors → Attracts insects
*(Plant using scent to attract pollinators — but this is a plant's behavior, not a response to stimulus. Wait — the stimulus is "flowers releasing odors" — but that’s the behavior, not the stimulus. So maybe this is reversed.)*
Wait — perhaps the left column is stimuli, and right column is responses.
Let’s try again with clearer logic.
---
| Stimulus | Response |
|--------------|---------------|
| Hearing a high-pitched whistle | Holding in the face *(startle reflex)* |
| Hearing others ducks on a lake | Quacking back *(social response — though "crowing" is wrong)* |
| A loud noise from the surface of a lake | Running in the opposite direction of a sound *(flight response)* |
| Feels the heat on concrete on a hot day | Running to cafeteria *(seeking cool place — plausible if cafeteria is shaded)* |
| Drinks too much water | Urinating to excrete *(excretion to maintain balance)* |
| Runs when a whistle blows | Running to cafeteria *(trained behavior — e.g., dog or animal)* |
| Height flowers releasing odors | Attracts insects *(this is a plant’s strategy — but the stimulus is the odor, response is insect attraction)* — but the right column says "Attracts insects" — so maybe this is a behavior? Not a response by the plant. So mismatched. |
| Loud explosion | Falls asleep? No — should be runs away, hides, or freezes. "Falls asleep" is incorrect. |
| Chases a running man | Flying off to hunt? Doesn’t fit. Maybe chases after? But not in list. |
| Sees an insect buzzing near | Flies off to hunt *(if bird or predator)* |
| Turns white in winter | Forms spores to survive *(no — turning white is camouflage, not spore formation)* — probably melanin change or molting. |
| Smells seeds below water | Sniffs a dead mouse? No — doesn’t connect. |
| Feels tired | Crawls into a hole *(resting behavior)* |
| Sunlight getting less and days colder | Leaves turn brown *(seasonal change in plants)* |
---
- Some responses don’t make sense (e.g., "Falls asleep" after explosion).
- Some are mismatched (e.g., "Chases a running man" → "Flying off to hunt").
- "Height flowers releasing odors" → "Attracts insects" — this is a cause-effect, but not a stimulus-response pair for an organism reacting to the flower.
---
You should match each stimulus (on the left) with the most logical behavioral response (on the right) based on biology.
#### Recommended Matches:
1. Hearing a high-pitched whistle → Holding in the face
2. A loud noise from the surface of a lake → Running in the opposite direction of a sound
3. Feels the heat on concrete on a hot day → Running to cafeteria
4. Drinks too much water → Urinating to excrete
5. Runs when a whistle blows → Running to cafeteria
6. Feels tired → Crawls into a hole
7. Sunlight getting less and days colder → Leaves turn brown
8. Sees an insect buzzing near → Flies off to hunt
9. Turns white in winter → Forms spores to survive — no, this is wrong.
Better: Turns white in winter → Blends in with snow — but that’s not in list.
Or: Survival adaptation — but not listed.
Wait — "Forms spores to survive" might be for fungi or plants during dormancy.
But turns white in winter → camouflage — not in options.
Perhaps "Turns white in winter" → "Hiding in the snow"? But not listed.
Alternatively, "Turns white in winter" → "Melts snow"? No.
So maybe the intended match is "Turns white in winter" → "Forms spores to survive" — but that doesn't make sense.
Likely error in worksheet.

Here’s a corrected version of the matching:
| Stimulus | Response |
|--------------|--------------|
| Hearing a high-pitched whistle | Holding in the face |
| A loud noise from the surface of a lake | Running in the opposite direction of a sound |
| Feels the heat on concrete on a hot day | Running to cafeteria |
| Drinks too much water | Urinating to excrete |
| Runs when a whistle blows | Running to cafeteria |
| Feels tired | Crawls into a hole |
| Sunlight getting less and days colder | Leaves turn brown |
| Sees an insect buzzing near | Flies off to hunt |
| Hearing others ducks on a lake | Crowing along slowly along the ground *(assuming "crowing" is meant as "calling" — though inaccurate)* |
| Loud explosion | Falls asleep? ✘ — should be Runs away or Freezes — but not listed. |
| Chases a running man | Flying off to hunt? ✘ — doesn't fit. |
| Height flowers releasing odors | Attracts insects? — but this is not a response by the plant — it's a behavior. So maybe the stimulus is "Insect approaching", then response is "Attracts insects" — but no.

This worksheet has some inaccuracies and poorly worded items. However, the intended task is to match stimuli with appropriate behavioral responses.
To complete it correctly:
- Use biological logic.
- Ignore illogical pairs.
- Match based on cause-effect (stimulus → response).
- Some items may have typos or be misplaced.
---
1. Cut out the blocks.
2. Match each stimulus to the most logical response.
3. Glue or staple them in the correct spots.
✔ Correct Pairs:
- Hearing a high-pitched whistle → Holding in the face
- A loud noise from the surface of a lake → Running in the opposite direction of a sound
- Feels the heat on concrete on a hot day → Running to cafeteria
- Drinks too much water → Urinating to excrete
- Feels tired → Crawls into a hole
- Sunlight getting less and days colder → Leaves turn brown
- Sees an insect buzzing near → Flies off to hunt
✘ Incorrect or questionable:
- Loud explosion → Falls asleep (should be runs away)
- Chases a running man → Flying off to hunt (doesn’t make sense)
- Hearing others ducks on a lake → Crowing along slowly (wrong animal behavior)
- Height flowers releasing odors → Attracts insects (this is a plant’s function, not a response to a stimulus)
