SPRINT 1 LESSON 2

TODAY:

• biotic and abiotic factors
• adaptations
• review what we have covered

GET TO WORK:

• read pages 283-284
• make a short summary of these two pages
• discuss what you have written down

Biotic factors

Abiotic factors

community

ADAPTATIONS:

• STRUCTURAL
• BEHAVIOURAL
• PHYSIOLOGICAL

GET TO WORK:

• read pages 290-293
• make a short summary of these 4 pages
• discuss what you have written down

STRUCTURAL:

• A CHANGE IN THE ANIMALS PHYSICAL BUILD & APPEARANCE.
• FOR EXAMPLE: HOW THEY LOOK, SHAPE OF BODY, ORGANS EVEN TEETH.

Otters have webbed feet to help them swim better. 

Eagles have massive claws to help them grab their prey as they attack from the air.

Sharks (like many fish) have gills which help them breathe under water. 

BEHAVIOURAL:

• A CHANGE IN THE ANIMALS BEHAVIOUR.
• FOR EXAMPLE: CHANGE IN DIET, MIGRATION, WHEN THEY HUNT/EAT, HYBERNATION ETC.

Temple monkeys in Bali no longer hunt and gather food because they know the will get fed by the humans visiting the temples.

This is a ground squirrel that is hibernating to survive winter.

Killer whales don't only live in groups called pods, they also hunt in groups too.

PHYSIOLOGICAL:

• A SPECIAL ORGAN OR ABILITY (SUPERPOWER)
• FOR EXAMPLE: ECHO LOCATION, LOW WATER USAGE, NIGHT VISION, HOLDING BREATHE A LONG TIME

Sharks have special senses in their noses which help the sense electrical energy in other organisms.

Seaturles can hold their breath for hours on end to dive under water. 

Bats have echolocation, which help them locate their prey.

PROJECT:

• 7 START-UP QUESTIONS
• Show in pictures and explain at least 4 adaptations your apex predator has made to be able to survive at least:

    --> 1 structural, 1 behavioural & 1 physiological

• extra: vwo must choose one minimum

Star 1

Create a biomes diagram of your apex predator. It must have the exact same layout as the on you learned. 

Each box must containa minimum of 50 words and one picture.

TIP: use canva or prezi

Star 2

Name 5 biotic and 5 abiotic factors that influence your apex predator's existance. HAve a minimum of 50 words and a picture for each factor named.

TIP: use canva, docs, slides

Star 3

Create a 5- 10 minute video of the 7 startup questions you answered about your apex predator. You may use existing pictures and video footage of the animal, but you must do the voice over at minimum. 

What now?

• work on sprint 1
• work on your project
• work on your logbook
• work on your mindmap
