Ecological Relationships

1. Ecological Relationships Who eats who!!!!! Help!!!

3. Objectives Today I will learn: • The important physical factors in the environment of animals and plants • How plants and animals differ due to their environment (Adaptation) • How to identify producers primary consumers and predators • How to sort ‘classify’ animals into groups

4. Objectives In today’s lesson I will also learn: • About the different habitats organisms live in. • How to describe the environment of different habitats. • About the special adaptations that organisms have to help them live in their habitat.

5. Key words • Habitat • Environment • Adapted • Adaptation • Producer • Consumer • Predator

6. But First

7. What needs does an animal have??? Just give me a carrot Raw Meat sounds good

8. What needs does a plant have???

9. Habitats • What is a habitat? • The place where an organism lives is called a habitat.

10. Remember Different organisms live in different habitats.Can you name some organisms for each of the habitats?

11. Pond

12. Woodland

13. Sea

14. Environment • The word environment is used to describe what a habitat is like. .

15. Adaptations • Adaptations are features which organisms have that help them survive in their habitat I would call my environment

16. So what lives here?? This place was a bit too…………………….

17. A camels habitat is a desert Hot, Dry but at least you don’t get bothered by people

18. Adaptations: They are desert animals and have numerous adaptations for life in an arid habitat. • The hump stores fat, which they are able to draw upon for water. • They have webbed feet (to prevent sinking in the sand); • They can close their nostrils and they have a double row of eyelashes to keep out the sand. • They can endure long periods without drinking - up to 17 days. • When they do drink, they can take up to 136 litres (30 gallons) at a time. By producing dry faeces and little urine, they can conserve water. • Their body temperature can rise 6-8 degree Celsius before sweating.

19. So what if I don’t have any leaves!!! Apart from the camels this place is great!!

20. Who lives here???

21. It’s the right temperature and no-one but no-one messes with me I do
