LEARNING TARGET #4 I can explain what adaptations are, give

examples, and explain how it relates to diversity of life.

Adaptations

The enormous diversity of species in the five kingdoms is in part a result of the wide range of adaptations to the many types of environments on earth. Within all the variations of the species, which were a result of mutations in their DNA, the best adapted survive. Through this evolution, a new separate species would develop that kept becoming more different from the old one. In the end, that is why all life started as bacteria and now we have millions of different organisms on earth.

The wide range of adaptations to the many types of environments is the reason we have an enormous diversity (differences) of species on earth.

Which kingdoms have adaptations? *** ALL living things have adaptations –

animals, plants, fungi, protista, and monera

ADAPTATION – something that helps an organism survive in its environment.

2 types: 1. STRUCTURAL (physical) – a trait; something

you can see on the

organism * caused by mutation in

DNA

2. BEHAVIORAL – way the organism acts; something it

does

REMEMBER

ALL organisms need to be adapted to their environment in order to survive.

Organisms CANNOT CHOOSE an adaptation, it must happen through a mutation or learned behavior.

VIDEO 1: List all the changes and adaptations of elephants over time

EX of structural adapt. 1. camouflage 2. thick fur / shedding 3. spines/ tusks 4. spray smells 5. body part size/shape 6. mimicry tons more!

Mimicry allows one animal to look, sound, or act like another animal to fool predators into thinking it is poisonous or dangerous.  

Teeth in rows pop up

CHAMELEON

SNAKE

All birds have similar characteristics.

But many water birds have features that are different from those birds live on land.

Long legs are good for wading

These wings act as flippers

Webbed feet for swimming

Adaptation to temperatures

Layers of fat keep the seals body warm, and small ears stop heat loss.

Polar bears are kept warm by their body fat.

Deer have a warm layer of fur.

OTHER COOL ADAPTATIONS

Polar bears have hollow hair, so they can trap more heat.

WARM UP #5 11/18DOUBLE CREDIT DAY – have 7 minutes to do

1.What is the definition of an adaptation?

2.What were the two types we were talking about?

3.Do all living things have adaptations? (ex, bacteria and fungi?)

4.REVIEW: What kingdom is eukaryote and unicellular?

5.REVIEW: Which of the 7 levels is most diverse?

WHAT WERE SOME

STRUCTURAL/PHYSICAL

ADAPTATIONS WE TALKED

ABOUT?

Some crickets and toads can freeze solid, and come back to life after they thaw out.

For many reptiles, the sex of their offspring is determined by temperature, and not sex chromosomes.

Albatross bird can sleep flying

Birds bones are hollow so they are lighter – they also do not have a bladder.

Birds do not have a bladder

A human adaptation – skin color

EX of behavioral adapt.1. Moving in herds2. Migration3. hibernation4. Playing dead5. Sitting on rocks to keep warm6. Digging holes for protection

ANNOUNCE-MENT about TUES.

I am going to be in school here conducting a learning walk.

You will have an assignment for you.

1. It is a 20 point grade to be on the “good behavior list”.

2. The assignment 3.14 is DUE IN CLASS ONLY – no late or makeup

3. The assignment is DOUBLE CREDIT - TWO GRADES

4. Expect a good class report - +5 or -5 on competition

REST OF THE HOUR – 3.13You are going to look

at PLANT ADAPTATIONS by reading an article, highlighting the adaptations, then writing them into “leaves”.

TURN THIS IN WHEN DONE

YOU WILL BE GETTING YOUR GRADES WHILE YOU WORK

IF YOU FIND ANYTHING THAT YOU HAVE TO TURN IN , GET IT IN!!!!

EXIT TICKETI can describe what adaptations are, give 3

examples of the 2 types, and explain how it relates to diversity of life.

1. Write the answer to the above target to show me that you understand.

Human adaptationsSweating to cool offOpposable thumbLanguage to communicateSkin colorsBody shapes and size Layers of fatClothes / shelterAgricultureUse of oxygen by our cellsMalaria/ sickle cell

PLANTS HAVE ADAPTATIONS TOO

Can you think of any?

VIDEO – ditto to fill in

PLANT ADAPTATIONS

EX: Spines Waxy leaves Deep roots Wide leaves Covered seeds Thick bark Drop leavesTons more!

Even plants have adapted to their habitats.

The cactus has fleshy stems that store water.

The water provides support for this lily as it has less developed roots to hold it in place.

Dandelions seeds are easily dispersed.

How did plants first begin? Where did they live? How did they evolve?

READING ON CELL TO SEED

WARM UP #6 10/9 (7 pts)1. What is the definition of adaptation?2. What are the two main types?3. Give 3 examples of each type. 4. Do you think plants have adaptations? If

so, can you name any?

* HAVE BOOK OUT TO GET YOUR 5 pts

For example, imagine a bird species. One day a bird is born with a beak that is longer than the beak of other birds in the species. The longer beak helps the bird catch more food. Because the bird can catch more food, it is healthier than the other birds, lives longer and breeds more. The bird passes the gene for a longer beak on to its offspring. They also live longer and have more offspring and the gene continues to be inherited generation after generation.

Eventually the longer beak can be found in all of the species. This doesn't happen overnight. It takes thousands of years for a mutation to be found in an entire species.
