Slide1

Squirrel Island - Purpose

To explain how adaptations help organisms survive in different environments.Slide2

Squirrel Island - Background

A beneficial or neutral mutation can quickly become harmful when

the environments change

.

The environment greatly affects an organism’s ability to survive, and even a small change can be harmful to some organisms.Slide3

Creatures of the Deep - Purpose

To explain how adaptations help organisms survive in different environments.Slide4

Creatures of the Deep - Background

A beneficial or neutral mutation can quickly become harmful when

the environments change

.

The environment greatly affects an organism’s ability to survive, and even a small change can be harmful to some organisms.Slide5

For example – the panda’s thumb

…Slide6

For example – the kakapo

…Slide7

For example – the penguin

…Slide8

For example – the

Kaibab

and Albert’s Squirrels

Squirrel Island - Procedure:

Work

with your partner.

Put

your names on the back of the drawing paper.

Use

a PENCIL

You

will be assigned an island habitat.

Design

a squirrel that has adapted to the environment of the

island (beneficial

mutations).

Draw the island environment and the squirrel.

On a separate sheet of paper,

describe the adaptations, and why they

are beneficial

to the squirrel

. You will answer the questions on the next slide.

Neatness

and attention to detail matters!Slide10

Squirrel Island - Procedure:

Draw the island environment and the squirrel.

On a separate sheet of paper,

describe the adaptations, and why they

are beneficial

to the squirrel

.

Give an example of each of the following in your Squirrel Island ecosystem:

Producer

Consumer

Predator

Prey

Scavenger

Decomposer

Habitat

Community

Population

Niche

Abiotic

factor

Biotic factor

Limiting factor

Carrying capacitySlide11

Creatures of the Deep

Work with your partner.

Put your names on the back of the drawing paper.

Use a PENCIL

You will be designing a creature that lives in an aquatic habitat.

Design a creature that has adapted to an underwater habitat (beneficial mutations).

Draw its habitat, and the creature.

On a separate sheet of paper, describe the adaptations, and why they are beneficial to the creature. You will answer the questions on the next slide.
