Today we begin our discussions of biomes, and the adaptations of organisms that are found there. You can follow the linked work above to go to a Berkely website that has really good information on different biomes. Our Science Saurus defines a biome as a very large area of land with a certain kind of climate and certain kinds of organisms living there. An adatptation is a structure (body party) or behavior (something you do) that allows an organism to survive in it's environment.
Our two classes go to the computer lab on opposite days, however we will be watching this video in the computer lab. Underwater Astonishments.
Students, after you've watched this video, click on the comment button, and answer the following question. Remember, do not leave your name. Put your teacher's name, and your number. For example, Echols #19, or Kuykendall #19
What type of adaptations did you witness during the video? How could these be useful to that organism.

Echols #18
octopuses can blend in with their surroundings, to hide from their prey. Some octopuses move very slow to look like a rock, that is another stratagey to hide from their prey. When his camera guy snook up on a squid and it inked the camera.

kuykendall #19
kuykendall 11 It wasn't that interesting.
ReplyDeleteKuykendall #17
ReplyDeleteI think it was cool and awsome because it was cool
how the octopus changed colors and how it
could blend in with things.
Kuykendall#22
ReplyDeleteThe octopus was amazing! I've never seen an animal camoflaouge as algae!
I bet the predator would've never seen them because I didn't. This is a perfect example for camouflauge.
kuykendall #24
ReplyDeletethey change their skin color (camofloge) so that the pure do not not eat them.
Kuykendall #1
ReplyDeleteThe octopus had a really cool adaptation witch was that it could camoflauge to where it could trick it's prey or enemies.
Kuykendall #10
ReplyDeleteI saw that some organisms can blend in with the rocks and the coral so it can protect it's self from it's predator.The octupus can blend in the corals so it's prey won't be able to see them.
Kuykendall #26
ReplyDeletethey camoflouge so they can hide from their prey.Once they hide from their prey, they can swim fast and swallow it
kurkendall #12
ReplyDeletethe octupus was so alsome.it turn right into alge.It is protecting itself. that is a inresting way i like it so it wount be dinner.
Kuykendall#7
ReplyDeletethe octupuse having camafloge they can blend in with seeweed and other things
MRS.KUYKENDALL 16
ReplyDeleteI WITENESS HOW THE OCTOPUS USES THE CAMOFLOUGE TO SAVE THEIR LIFE!!!!!!!!!!MRS.ECHOLS THAT WAS THE BEST VIEDO I EVER SAW AT SCHOOL IT REALLY COUGHT MY EYE IT WAS SO AWSOME !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
kuykendall 11 i saw matting and changing color .
ReplyDeletekeykendall #24
ReplyDeletebut the show that we saw was great!i never so an animal do that i wish i can wacth that at home on my compter.
kuykendall 20 the octopus was amazing when it was hiding in the plants. when octopus turned red and orange color.And when that male fish had to colors so he can data a different female.
ReplyDeletekuykendall #26
ReplyDeleteit's very cool how they blend in with other underwater craetures
Kuykendall#21
ReplyDeleteThe octopus was amazing when it blend in.I didn't even see it.I think it helps it when it blends in because the other animals that harm it, the octopus blends in and the other animals can't harm it.
Kuykendall #15
ReplyDeleteI saw the octopus blend in with it's enviorment. It was cool.It can also help it surrvive in the ocean.
Kuykendall#2
ReplyDeleteI saw that the octopus can camoflouge with it's enviorment and it's srroudings.
Kuykendall #25
ReplyDeleteThey comoflouged their self for predator wouldn't see them.
KUYKENDALL #14
ReplyDeleteMrs,chols that was very cool.It taught me alot more about the ocean animals, and I would need to know that because I am going to be an oceanoloigist or a merion bioligist when I grow up or something to do with the ocean animals.Now what I saw in the adaptations were that the octopus has to camafloge itself to protect itself from predators.It was really cool how its eyes turned brown.I really enjoyed the vidie it was also very important to me.
Kuykendall#4 I loved the video even the last part.It was really cool.The video made me think more about octopus and how they look alike and how they don't look alike.
ReplyDeleteMrs. Kuykendall 19 The octopus was amazing when it was hiding in the plants. And it was amazing when the octopus was blending into the plant.then when the camrea got up close the octopus left the plant.
ReplyDeleteKurykendall #9 It was so cool how the octopus blended in to the algae.I never new that a octopus with bright colors could do that.
ReplyDeleteKuykendall #8 The camalflage helped them hide from preditors. It also helped them trap food or show how they fill. When the squid was is mad it tarns white.
ReplyDeleteKukendall #6
ReplyDeleteI love the way the octopus blends in .I would not seen it .The way it come
out of the algae.

#14, I had no idea that you were interested in Marine biology! Isn't it so amazing, I'm glad that you liked the video. :)
ReplyDelete#20, you did an excellent job at wording your answer, and you discussed the changing of the squids when they were with a male or a female... good job.
