Standard: Individual organisms with certain traits are more likely than others to survive and have offspring in specific environments.
Objective: You will gather evidence from a variety of sources to illustrate the diversity of adaptations that animals have to survive.
Create a power point document to collect your findings as you go on an internet scavenger hunt. Each slide in your powerpoint presentation should be one separate collection.
These are the slide titles you need:
1. Adaptations for Obtaining Food - on this slide, you will collect images and interesting facts about herbivores, carnivores, and omnivores.
2. Physical Adaptations - on this slide, you will collect images and interesting facts about different bodily adaptations that allow animals to be well suited to their environment.
3. Predator (and Prey) Adaptations - on this slide, you will collect images and interesting facts about the adaptations predators have for hunting, trapping, and otherwise obtaining prey. Also, you can include images and interesting facts about the adaptations animals have to keep from becoming prey.
4. Behavioral Adaptations - on this slide, you will collect imaes and interesting facts about the various behavioral traits that animals have that help them survive, reproduce, and work together.
You must include picture examples of both vertebrates and invertebrates on every slide. Each picture on your slides should have a caption explaining what the animal is and what its adaptation is. This is not a "presentation", so don't worry about making the pictures or text big enough to see from far away. Also, no transitions or special effects. This is just a way of organizing your learning, so go ahead and make your pictures as small as you need to fit it all on one slide. Here is an example of what one slide might look like (Click to zoom in if you need to).
An A on this project has at least 8 good examples on each slide.
A B on this project has at least 5 good examples on each slide.
