Thursday: Same kind, not the same

Rocket lines up two bean sprouts.

"They should be twins!" he says.

Raven asks, "What do you notice about their heights?"

Nova says, "Measure them and see."

Alike, but different

Plants of the same kind look alike.

You can tell they are the same kind.

But they are not exactly the same.

One may be taller. One may have more leaves.

Marigold colors

Marigolds are all one kind of flower.

But marigold flowers can be different colors.

They can be yellow, orange or white.

They are the same kind, not the same.
