Adaptations Glossary pg 4 WordDefinitionPicture AdaptationsA trait or characteristic that helps an organism survive. Internal Structures Traits or characteristics that are inside an organism. External Structures Traits or characteristics that are on the outside of an organism.

DO NOW Date: 1/13 Name one internal structure that helps you to survive. What organ system is it part of?

ESSENTIAL QUESTION: What traits or characteristics provide an adaptive advantage for survival in some animals? OBJECTIVES: -Explore internal and external structures and how they provide an adaptive advantage for some animals.

EXPLAIN: Share Out Each member of your group takes a turn reading the information to the rest of the group. Discuss and fill in the information on your sheet as a group.

DO NOW Date: 1/14 1/15 Reminders: Quiz Cancelled for Friday. Notebook Check Friday What is an adaptation? What is an advantage?

ESSENTIAL QUESTION: How can traits change in a population over time? OBJECTIVES: -Explore how traits (or genes) are passed down from generation to generation and how that impacts the survival of a species.

Adaptations and Survival page5 Picture of the Adaptation Organism Describe the organism’s Environment Describe the Adaptation (structure/behavior) Is this structure INTERNAL or EXTERNAL? How does this adaptation enhance survival of the organism? FLOWER Flowers grow in fields and areas that are open. There is usually good rainfall in these areas. Bright Coloration (Structural) -Flowers have bright coloration that attracts bees. This is an external feature. The coloration of flowers attracts bees and sends signals to bees that there is pollen present. The bees are attracted to the flower and collect the pollen. When they land on other plants they pollinate those plants allowing the plant to reproduce.

Natural Selection

Natural Selection- A process in nature that occurs if an organism is better adapted to survive than another. Glossary:

DO NOW Date: 1/17 Describe Natural Selection in your own words.

ESSENTIAL QUESTION: How can traits change in a population over time? OBJECTIVES: -Take a quiz on adaptation and natural selection.

NOTEBOOK QUIZ

Create your own animal! -Invent an animal (a fictional one) that is able to survive in their habitat. -Includes ways they find food, water, shelter, protect themselves etc… -Label any internal and external structures that allow their animal to survive in its habitat. -Name the animal -Include the Biome

What is a Biome? Biomes are regions of the world with similar climate (weather, temperature) animals and plants. Examples: Deserts Coral Reefs Savannahs Alpine Forests Tundra Taiga

Sections to include on your poster: -Name of the animal -Drawing of the animal -Biome (with brief description) animal lives in -Label internal and/or external structures that help the animal survive. -Brief summary of the animals: *adaptations *food/water source *any other information you want to include ***************Use color!******************
