Hey guys,

It's been awhile, I know, but now that we are back from spring break and getting ready for the BIG DAY (a.k.a. Science TAKS). Look over on the right side of the page to see the countdown clock.

So, this week in Science we are going to be talking about Habitats and Adaptations. To start us off this week, I'd like you to click on the following link ADAPTATIONS and watch the video, you may need to watch it once and then watch it a second time to look for the answers to the questions that you have to answer.

After watching the video the second time: choose one of the animals that Mr. Gallo discusses: the first cephalopod, the squid, the cuttlefish, the second cephalodpod, the first octopus or the second octopus. Then respond with a comment telling me what animal you are talking about, what you saw them do in the video, and why you thought it was happening. Please remember to put your classroom number with your response.

Look for more coming tomorrow!!!

Mrs. E

  2. I pick the octopus. I picked the octopus because its use of camo. I think the octopus uses its camo to blend in with its surroundings. I can think of two reasons,first, to hide from its predators, and second, two catch its prey that swims by.
