  2. Thurs/Fri 10/31 & 11/1 Your Learning Goal: SWBAT predict the way an animal will evolve and explain their reasoning using the terms fitness, natural selection, adaptation, environment and genetic variation. Standard:3a. Students know both genetic variation and environmental factors are causes of evolution and the diversity of organisms Direct Instruction: Go over Quiz Group Station: Do one animal adaptation with partner Independent station: Animal Adaptation Alone & Start HW Table of Contents: Lesson 3.3 Adaptations Lesson Agenda: • Do-Now • Adaptation Review • Adaptation Quiz • Stations Homework: 3.3 Adaptation W/S

  3. Make Up Unit 2 Test • Melissa Garcia • Genesis Cota • Claudia Galvez** • Ahtziri Hernandez • Yire Sanchez • Jorge • Eliu

  4. Adaptation Vocab Review • Some physical traits are superior to others. (better than) • These traits allow animals to survive in their environments

  5. Adaptation Vocab Review • Adaptation: a characteristic or trait that helps an organism survive in its environment.

  6. Evolution: the gradual change in the traits (that helps a species survive) of a species that leads to the development of new species. Different traits exist because of genetic variation and the best traits are passed on through natural selection.

  7. New Vocab • Species:a group of organisms that can reproduce with each other to produce fertile offspring.

  8. New Vocab • Speciation: A new species develop through evolution. • The offspring of two different species are sterile. • Sterile: can not have babies

  9. New Vocab • Habitat:a specific place where an animal lives and the food, water, shelter, and other basic needs of survival that exist there

  10. Examples of Adaptations- Bald Eagle: • Has very good eyesight to spot prey • Has very sharp claws and beak to rip apart prey.

  11. Examples of Adaptations- Camels • Have long eyelashes and nostrils that open and close to keep dust out • Can go a week without water or a month without food • Store fat in their humps

  12. Examples of Adaptations- Penguins • Webbed feet for fast swimming • Thick skin with a lot of fat to stay warm • Often huddle together to stay warm

  13. Examples of Adaptations- Snakes • Can stretch their jaws to swallow prey whole • Teeth are curved backwards to keep prey from wiggling out • Windpipes move so that the snake can still breath while swallowing
