1. The affects on Plants, Animals, and Their Surroundings By: Melissa Southern Weather and Seasonal Changes Science 2.7: The student will investigate and understand that weather and seasonal changes affect plants, animals, and their surroundings. Key concepts include a.) effects on growth and behavior of living things (migration, hibernation, camouflage, adaptation, dormancy)
4. Type of precipitation These changes made in response to the environment are called adaptations.
5. What is Adaptation? A change an animal goes through to fit into its environment Examples of Adaptations Whiskers Sharp teeth Webbed feet Sharp claws Hooves Large beaks Wings
6. Whiskers Sharp Teeth Examples of Adaptations Helps an animal feel around Helps an animal eat meat
12. Migration when animals move from one place to another as a result of temperature changes Animals migrate for different reasons: to find a better climate to find better food to find a safe place to live to find a safe place to raise their young Examples of animals who migrate Salmon Humpback whales Canadian geese Monarch butterflies
13. Hibernation Examples of animals who hibernate bats groundhogs box turtles squirrels Bears ------------------------------------------ Examples of things that can be dormant Bears Hummingbirds Trees Flowers Plants The inactive periods of animals in the cold temperatures of winter A period of inactivity Dormancy
14. Camouflage when something changes its color or pattern to help it blend in with the environment Camouflage is an outward coloration that allows animals to appear similar to the plants and places in which they live Examples of animals that are or can camouflage: Arctic Fox Polar Bear Frogs
