  1. Mutant Project 9/30-10/3/13

  2. Mission • In the same way I have you guys for my mutant team, you will now have an opportunity to create your mutant crew. You will create 5 different mutants from 5 different biomes. • You will need to decide an animal genus to begin creating your super mutant. • You will then begin to choose 3 specific traits from 3 different animals that your mutant possesses. These animals must be from the same biome. • You will complete a profile (for credit) on each mutant. • By next Friday, Oct 11, you will present to the class your mutant! Therefore, by the end of this week, you will have your presentation on my thumb drive.

  3. Grading • Presentation 10pts – includes all requirements, voice level 4, • Make-up: the next day you are present at school. • PowerPoint 10pts – includes images, genus, 3 traits, and justification for everything! • Profile Sheets 25pts (5 points/sheet) – completely and thoroughly filled out with justifications.

  4. Biome: Tundra • The arctic tundra lies between the northern tree line and the North Pole. • It has a permanently frozen layer of soil, or permafrost. • Tundrasare lands of low productivity in which trees cannot survive the conditions of extreme cold. The only plants found in tundras are short and tend to hug the ground. Plants in the alpine tundra often have deep pigmentation that shields their inner cells from the intense ultraviolet radiation present at high altitudes. • The alpine tundra experiences greater day-night temperature fluctuations and higher wind velocities than the arctic tundra. • Arctic tundra has very long winters and brief summers of only about six weeks. There are few permanent animal residents of this harsh environment. • Those that do inhabit the tundra are well insulated by fur, feathers, and often a layer of fat beneath the skin. Mammals and birds such as musk oxen, caribou, reindeer, arctic hare, lemming, and ptarmigan can survive on tundra plants. The small mammals support predators such as the arctic fox and snowy owl. Some of these animals have coats that change color with the season and blend into the environment.

  5. 3 other traits Strength of Polar bear = deadly Wings of snow owl = flight for defense Fuzzy antlers of caribou = attack Artic Fox = fast, small, changes hair color depending on season, scavengers
