Conservation and Interdependence SOL 3.10

Interdependency What does interdependent mean? When plants and animals depend on one another and the land for survival.

Interdependency What are some example of how plants and animals depend on each other? (Turn and Talk) Did you say? Animals eat plants Plants give us oxygen Plants use soil to grow Review video: Food Chains https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pasB5FxhVUk Review page 2 in notebook

Think about it…. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IJ07DcGGmMg What happens to plants and animals when the environment is damaged?

How can environments be damaged? Make a web on your white board Did you say? Pollution Cutting down trees Digging for fossil fuels Erosion Drought Disease Natural Disasters

Natural Disasters What are some natural disasters? Volcanoes Earthquakes Fires Floods Erosion

Volcanoes An eruption happens when hot magma reaches the surface Destroy the animals that don’t flee Destroys the plants Volcano i movie https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VqtL436KKdI Are they helpful? They can form islands (HAWAII) They leave very rich soil

Earthquakes Earthquakes mostly damage homes and buildings

Earthquakes Can also damage animals and plants! Downed power lines can injury animals. Fallen trees can crush animal homes.

Fires How do fires impact plants and animals?

Fires Damage environment and land by destroying animals homes and plant life Animals can be killed and forced to move. Can fire be helpful? Dead land can be burned down and healthier growth returns

Floods People, animals and homes are destroyed by floods Animals can often survive

Erosion Natural event caused by wind or water Removes the soil in an area Plants need this soil to live

Disease Animals and plants can get sick just like us! What would happen if a certain type of animal got sick? Impacts the food chain!

Pollution Pollution can also destroy land and water. Water pollution impacts animals, plants and us! Thank about the food chain!

Water Pollution Can you name each type of water pollution?

Conservation

Conservation How can we preserve the earth and natural resources? Reduce, reuse, recycle Resource renewal Species Monitoring Habitat Monitoring

Resource Renewal When species of plants and animals are protected You can help renew the resource. For example if a plant is endangered, you grow the seeds in an indoor, protected environment and then return them outside.

Species Monitoring When you monitor or watch over a group of animals (a species) Scientists may count or track the species to see if the population is growing. How can this practice help hedgehogs? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y0seTADKBwQ

Habitat Management Protects habitats of plants and animals For example people build national parks where people can not hunt, build or collect plants and animals.

National Parks

Reduce How can we reduce our use of natural resources? What can we reduce ways we use water? Make a web on your white board!

Reduce Did you say? Turn off faucets Don’t let water run while brushing your teeth. Take shorter showers Wash only full loads in your washing machine Water your yard early in the morning to prevent evaporation

Reuse What are some examples of reusing? or
