Today in Science we reviewed the adaptations that are required for certain organisms to survive in specific environments. The students worked with a partner and had to figure out the characteristics of the environment that applied to their organism.
They had ten organisms, they found the habitat in which they lived, and then they described their environments. Here is what they should have come up with........ or something similar
Cactus-Desert Community- A, H, K, O, P, R
Moray Eel- Ocean Community- E, F or G, J, M, S
Polar Bear- Polar Community- A, I or J, L (winter), O, R, S (pregnant females)
Blue Whale- Ocean Community- E, F or G, J, L or M, R
Woodpecker-Deciduous Forest Community- C, I, M, N, can justify R and S
Squirrel- Deciduous Forest Community- C, I, M, N, S
Toad-Deciduous Forest Community- A and D, G, I and J, M, N, R and S
Mushroom- Deciduous Forest Community- A, I, K, M, N, R and S
Jack Rabbit- Desert Community- A, H, K, O, R
KEY:
A- land B- underground C- trees D- freshwater E- salt water F- moving water
G- calm water H- dry I- moist J- wet K- hot L- cold M- average temperature
N- shady O- sunny P- sand soil Q- rich soil R- open area S- enclosed area
