Understanding Species Interactions: Niche Adaptations and Survival Strategies

DESCRIPTION

This multimedia lecture explores the interactions between species and their environments, focusing on defining a species' niche and the adaptations required for survival in predation and symbiosis. Students will list and describe various adaptations of predators and prey, such as speed, camouflage, and mimicry, that enable them to compete and thrive. Engaging activities include comparing vocabulary definitions and designing hypothetical predator-prey scenarios to understand their competitive dynamics and survival strategies.

  1. Description: Goals: Examine how interactions between a species and its environment define a species niche. Explain how a species adapts to its niche. Begin looking at the specific species interaction relationships. This is in the form of a multimedia notes/lecture period on PowerPoint.

  2. Objectives: Day 6 List and Describe some of the adaptations of species use in predation symbiosis.

  3. Warm Up Q = Worksheet A = none

  4. Species Interactions - Symbiosis And you thought school was tough

  5. How does this relate to trophic levels?

  6. Trophic Levels Review ENERGY 0.1% 1% 10% 100%

  7. Vocabulary: (Think) Define these words in your notes as best you can.

  8. Vocabulary: (Pair) Compare your definitions with your neighbor. Improve upon each others.

  9. Vocabulary: (Share) Discuss as a class the definitions you developed and why.

  10. Adaptations of Predators Predation: Predator • Organism who eat otherorganisms • Secondary Consumers • Carnivores • Adaptations: • Speed • Sharp Teeth or Beak • Claws or Talons • Strength • Camouflage/Stealth • Good Senses • Group Hunting

  11. II. Adaptations of Prey • Organism eaten by other organisms • Primary & Secondary Consumers • Herbivores & Carnivores • Adaptations: • Speed • Size • Poison • Odor • Good Senses • Shelter • Mimicry (2 types): • Physical • Chemical

  12. Mimicry: imitating another organism as a means of defense or stealth What is this?

  13. Think about… I. Objective: List and Describe some the adaptations of species use in predation symbiosis. You will be designing a predator and prey that are competing for survival. Consider the adaptations of predators and prey and what each will need in order to capture or evade the other.
