Read the following paragraphs. What is the best way to describe how they are organized?

One of the biggest physical differences between frogs and toads is their skin. While frogs have smooth or slimy skin that is moist, toads have thicker, bumpy skin that is usually dry. The differences in their skin are because of their typical environments. Frogs spend more time in the water or are usually very close to water while on land, so their skin stays moist. Toads, on the other hand, spend more time on land and travel further from water. Unless you live very near water, you're more likely to see toads in your yard because they travel farther from water.

A big difference between frogs and toads is that all toads are poisonous, while frogs are not. Toads have parotoid glands behind their eyes that secrete toxins. These toxins permeate their skin, so you can come into contact with them if you pick them up, according to the Conserve Wildlife Federation of New Jersey, most of the toxins are mild to humans, but you should always wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water after handling a toad.

Read the following paragraphs. What is the best way to describe how they are organized?

While both stars and planets are celestial bodies found in the universe, the key difference lies in their ability to generate light: stars produce their own light and make their own heat, just like a giant light bulb! Stars are incredibly large and composed primarily of hydrogen and helium. Stars have a wide range of sizes and colors, for example Red Dwarfs, Yellow Dwarfs, Blue Giants, and Super giants -- these are the largest stars and can be hundreds of times larger than our sun!

Planets are a little different. They reflect light from the sun or other parent stars, which makes them appear to be illuminated when viewed from early. Planets are smaller and cooler than stars and can be made of various elements: they can be rocky, gaseous, or a combination of both, depending on their location within a solar system. Another interesting fact is planets are like big, round balls that orbit and go around stars, kind of like a merry-go-round.

Did you know the sun is a star and Earth is a planet?
