- 1. Adaptation & Survival in the NATURAL ENVIRONMENT
- 2. ANIMAL ADAPTATION how animals survive in their respective environments
- 3. ECOLOGY A community of organisms together with their physical environment, viewed as a system of interacting and interdependent relationships and including such processes as the flow of energy through trophic levels and the cycling of chemical elements and compounds through living and nonliving components of the system. ECOSYSTEM http://science.yourdictionary.com/climate Ecology is defined as the branch of science that studies how people or organisms relate to each other and their environment.
- 4. Habitat - the normal environment in which an organism lives ANIMAL ADAPTATION how animals survive in their respective environments Predator - an organism that lives by eating other organisms Prey - an organism that is eaten, or preyed upon Continent - a large landmass on Earth Climate - the normal weather conditions in a particular area http://sciencenetlinks.com/lessons/animal-adaptations/
- 5. Climate Climate is a measure of the average pattern of variation in temperature, humidity, atmospheric pressure, wind, precipitation, atmospheric particle count and other meteorological variables in a given region over long periods of time. Climate is different from weather, in that weather only describes the short-term conditions of these variables in a given region. The state of the atmosphere at a particular time and place. Weather is described in terms of variable conditions such as temperature, humidity, wind velocity, precipitation, and barometric pressure. Weather on Earth occurs primarily in the troposphere, or lower atmosphere, and is driven by energy from the Sun and the rotation of the Earth. The average weather conditions of a region over time are used to define a region's climate. Weather http://science.yourdictionary.com/climate
- 6. ANIMAL ARCHITECT A few example of how animals make their shelter Bees - Hives Ants – ant hill/colony Ground Animal – burrow holes Beaver - damBirds- nest Spiders - web
- 7. MIMICRY The art of deception
- 8. Dazzle Camouflage / Razzle Dazzle family of ship camouflage used extensively in World War I - disruptive camouflage sought to confuse not to conceal
- 9. JELLY FISH things you should know Jellyfish are carnivores -- they eat other animals. Smaller jellyfish eat algae and other tiny plankton called zooplankton Larger jellyfish eat crustaceans and other bigger aquatic animals. Their sting is both a defense mechanism and a way to capture their prey. Each jellyfish tentacle is covered with thousands of cells calledcnidoblasts, which housenematocysts containing stinging threads The venom is aneurotoxin designed to paralyze jellyfish prey. Although a jellyfish can kill a small aquatic animal, its sting is not usually fatal to humans. It tends to cause pain, skin rashes, fever and muscle cramps When you're at the beach, watch out for jellyfish both on the water and on the sand. Even a tentacle that has been separated from its jellyfish can sting. If you do get stung, first remove any tentacles clinging to the skin. Don't wash the area with fresh water -- it could release more venom into your body. Instead, clean it with rubbing alcohol, ammonia, vinegar or urine (yes, you read right). And some people -- especially in Chinaand Japan -- also eat jellyfish, considering them a delicacy. Some have no eyes, but some have 24 eyes. And NO BRAIN!
