3. Today we will explore animal adaptations…
SCIENCE
NEED TODAY
Day 1
Animal adaptations and behaviors

4. I’ll KNOW I HAVE IT WHEN….
TODAY WE WILL…
Explore mechanism for development of animal behaviors and adaptations through notes, videos and discussion.
I’ll KNOW I HAVE IT WHEN….
I can describe how animals developed their behaviors and adaptations.
I will NEED…
NOTEBOOK
PENCIL
ELECTRONICS
Away!!!
I will TURN IN…
NOTHING

5. Animal learning for today…

6. For what reasons do each of the animals have their coloring?

7. POISON WARNING:
Small poisonous animals brightly colored to warn predators “If you eat me, we both die!”

8. Gross and Not Poisonous
MIMICRY:
Some animals develop same coloring/activities as others to seem scarier (original imposters!)
Gross and Not Poisonous
Gross AND Poisonous

9. CAMOUFLAGE:

20. Courtship Rituals Animals have a lot of ways to attract a mate
Birds of Paradise:
Bactrian Camel
Peacock

21. How do animals get energy?
FOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD!

22. How do animals STORE energy?
FAT (ENERGY) STORAGE
Animals store energy in fat to survive periods between meals
Since our ancestors and wild animals don’t have grocery store!
Floppy hump = hungry camel!

23. How do animals expend (USE) energy?
STAYING WARM
FINDING FOOD
MOVEMENT

24. What happens when environment changes?
Die
Hibernate
Conserve energy
Migrate
Find more food
Stay and survive
Specialized adaptations

25. Response to Environment
Die out when environment conditions change

26. Response to Environment
HIBERNATION
Body temperature and breathing rate dramatically reduce to conserve energy like “standby” mode

27. Response to Environment
MIGRATION
Movement of animals to different region because too much energy is required to stay

28. Salmon Salmon Spawning Fish Ladders Salmon Canon

29. EVEN HUMANS MIGRATED…

30. Response to Environment
Specialized adaptations
Fur & skin
Wings, legs, fins
Teeth & Claws
Special eyes
Fat Storage

33. What traits of animals could change over 100 generations (not long)?
Color
Beaks
Ears
Feet/Claws

34. Darwin’s Finches Finch Beaks – need right tool for the job
Suited for their diets
Woodpecker – eats grubs from trees
Long pointy beak
Cactus – picks flesh from cactus
Vegetarian – eats fruits from trees
Curved beak
Ground finch – eats seeds
Large beak

36. Animal Adaptations HOMEOSTASIS

37. Animal Adaptation HOMEOSTASIS
Animals have the ability to regulate their internal environment:
“Cold-blooded” have environment temp
“Warm-Blooded” maintain temp by using energy

38. Animal Adaptation HOMEOSTASIS
Animals have the ability to regulate their internal environment:
Salmon are born in fresh, live in salt and return to fresh
Regulate the salt content of their cells between ocean and fresh water

39. Animal Adaptation HOMEOSTASIS
Animals have the ability to regulate their internal environment:
Warm-blooded animals RELEASE body heat by SWEATING and PANTING

40. Animal Adaptation
SWEAT EVAPORATES AND TAKES HEAT ALONG!

41. Animal Adaptation HOMEOSTASIS
Animals have the ability to regulate their internal environment:
Warm-blooded animals MAINTAIN body heat with GOOSEBUMPS and SHIVERING!

42. Animal Adaptation
GOOSEBUMPS TRAP HEAT!
