The Characteristics Of Animals And Environments

Students observe and record some of the structures of a crustacean, the crayfish, and compare it to other organisms. They establish a feeding and maintenance schedule for the organisms. Students investigate crayfish behavior and map where the crayfish spend time within their habitat. Through readings, organism cards, and a video, students learn about adaptations of organisms in different environments. Students engage in an outdoor simulation activity to explore food chains.

11. Explain how different defensive behaviors of animals help them to survive (ex: tightening of quills on a porcupine, making the body larger).

Third graders will become zoologists, understanding the various habitats where animals live. They will research a specific habitat and identify necessary environmental factors for the survival of a chosen animal. Analyzing and synthesizing information from multiple sources, students will create a triorama that represents the animal's habitat and perform a public service announcement advocating for the habitat's preservation.

Interactive programs where students can complete a scavenger hunt throughout the zoo learning the facts about the different animals, a live lesson with a few educational animals like birds, snakes, and owls. Role play theater where students will be asked to act like concern animals.

The article discussed the changes in many habitats due to anthropogenic activity. Anthropogenic is an adjective that describes changes in nature due to the people. Next, this article discussed climate change and the impact that it is having on species like clams, and fish due to ocean temperatures rising. The article also addressed carbon dating of fossils to look for cause of extinctions. Human development and agriculture have had a tremendous impact on the population of many species that are terrestrial. Deforestation is a big problem that has caused a decline in the bird species. Commercial fishing in many areas has led to a decline in fish populations. Furthermore this article

All reading is conducted orally with corresponding pictures, and various activities and graphic organizers are completed whole class and individually throughout the reading process. This module contains nine lessons and covers the following habitats: Arctic (Arctic tundra and Arctic Ocean), Sonoran Desert, East African savanna, temperate deciduous forest (Great Smoky Mountains), tropical rainforest (Amazon rainforest), freshwater, and saltwater, as well as habitat destruction and endangered

Through the concept of evolution, ecology, population, community and the environment. Species through different periods evolve physiologically and adapting to new environments. Animals who can’t live or survive in certain regions either migrate or die. Common ancestors often link to present day organisms showing biologically and different aspects of adaptations.

What animals from the previous lesson did you heard about in the video? Name them and talk about their peculiarities

Variation- it offer variety of different characteristics feature which allows certain species to become resistant/immune/protected from certain environmental factors(predators, diseases) also leading to better survival chances which increase rate of

Let us call her a scientist and biologist in the making. Elizabeth is one of Ryan’s 12th grade students who is doing her senior project on sea turtles. Michael discussed tractability of the turtles and scientific development and suggests to her that she focus her project on that. Elizabeth said that she “wants to give a presentation to elementary school students, and sixth graders” to be more specific. Her project plan has great substance. She wants to impress upon our youth how important sea turtle sustainability truly is. Ryan says that he “likes to get his students involved and encourages project based activities as an effective learning tool.” Each year they do a senior project, which consists of the four P’s. The students are required to do an eight page paper; show a product; put a portfolio together; and give a presentation on their project. Last year Ryan’s class contributed 350 origami turtles to our 1,000, which are displayed in the new STPS education center. This contribution brings endless education opportunities to all knowledge seekers that come in every single day. Ryan’s preparatory based learning method is ideal as introductory college courses. His students will be better prepared for higher academia and performance achievements as they transition into

The environment determines which traits are most evolutionary desirable to an organism. If a population should move or should the environment change, a different set of traits would be the most advantageous

As students enter their second grade year it is crucial that they investigate the world around them. Part of that investigation involves learning about the basic life cycles of the animals that they commonly interact with. This paper will cover basic background information about animal life cycles that is necessary to teach this standard to a second grade audience. It will also outline specific strategies for teaching this content to second graders and support of why these strategies are effective.

In the science of paleontology, the history of life is studied. Paleontologists study fossils to learn the past ecologies, evolution, and the origins of humans. In order to understand the processes that have led to both the origination and destruction of organisms since life began, paleontologists incorporate both scientific knowledge and studies. Fossil findings are critically important for confirming predictions of evolution theory. Of the many discoveries that are made yearly to add depth to the understanding of evolution, an example is a recent discovery of a creature they named Tiktaalik. The Tiktaalik was uncovered to be a transitional animal between shallow-water fishes and limbed animals. The creature supports the idea that it emerged from both mammals and reptiles, suggesting that the two are related. These findings support prediction of evolution, contradicting the belief that God
