Forum 1.6 - Advantageous Adaptations

1/28/2019

19 Comments

 
Picture
Central Question: What is the relationship between species characteristics and physical location?

Guiding Thought Question: What is a particular physical characteristic that would be advantageous for a plant or animal to have to live in the landscape above? Why would that characteristic be beneficial for that species in order to help it survive? 

Today's Learning Objective:
Students will examine the connections that animals have with their physical location and how those can be grouped with species from the same area. Students will examine two rules of ecogeography and then test them to analyze how applicable they are to real-world situations.

Light colored coats so they can blend into their surroundings. Making it easier to hide and hunt.

large roots-ability to collect water from larger distances
ability to store water-can receive water even when there is little precipitation
thorns/poison/etc-protect the plant from being eaten

A particular trait for an animal to have in that area is the ability to catch water on the skin of the animal and to be able to bring it to its mouth..
This would be an important trait for an animal because it will be able to get water easily.

long legs would help to outrun predators, as it is a very flat landscape that exposes the presence of an animal easily.

The ability to burrow would be incredibly advantageous for an animal that lived in the habitat in the picture. Without trees or shelter, the ability to burrow and create their own home and shelter would be helpful for the animals.

The animal can have long legs to run and burrow faster and efficiently, tan coats, longer appendages, or can be smaller animals

Speed and camouflage would be useful in the near area and stealth would be more useful in the background. An animal with a lot of adaptability would be able to live in both areas.

Small and light skinned so that the animals can blend in with the habitat and hide from the birds
