Presentation transcript:

Adaptations: A body part, body covering, or behavior that helps an organism survive its environment.

Plants: Tropisms (Responses): 1) Phototropism: Responds to light

Plants: Tropisms (Responses): 2) Thigmotropism: Responds to touch

Plants: Tropisms (Responses): 3) Gravitropism: Responds to gravity Video Here/Turn volume off!

Cactus Waxy Covering: Prevent water loss Ridges: Expand to store more water when it rains Thorns: Protect against being eaten No Leaves: Prevent water loss

Catching prey/digging Polar Bear Thick Blubber: Keep warm Short/small Ears: Save Heat Large Paws: Walking on snow White/clear Fur: Blend in with snow Long Claws: Catching prey/digging

Adaptation Poster Adaptations: 1.) Animal must be drawn, in color, & neat 2.) Must include background environment 3.) Must have at least 5 adaptations w/ explanation Not adaptations: * How long they live * Where they live * How many babies the have * What they eat Adaptations: * Large paws, thick beak, bright colored feathers, skinny legs, large ears, sharp teeth, fur thickness….
