Adaptations in animals p6 elearning 2016 - day 1p6svps
This document provides information about animal adaptations from the South View Primary School Science e-learning lesson on Day 1. It discusses the advantages of adaptations, different types of structural and behavioral adaptations, and examples of adaptations that help animals obtain food, cope with temperatures, move in water and air, breathe in different environments, and escape predators. Specific animal adaptations are described, such as a camel's hump for storing water and fat, and zebra stripes for camouflage. The reading assignment provides notes on imagining a new animal adapted to live in a hot, dry environment and eating spiky plants.
This document provides information on percentages and how to calculate them. It defines a percentage as being "of one hundred" and gives examples of 20% expressed as a decimal and fraction. It explains that to find the percentage of a whole number, you change the percentage to a decimal and multiply it by the whole number. Step-by-step instructions are given for calculating 25% of 200, 20% of 820, and 60% of 692 as examples. In the end, it credits the original source of the PowerPoint presentation.

This document discusses the effects of oil spills on marine life. It notes that oil spills occur when oil tankers collide at sea or during loading and unloading of oil. The oil then spreads on the water surface and coats birds, sea mammals, fish, and plants. This causes various harmful effects - the oil clogs feathers and fur, preventing birds and mammals from staying warm and flying/swimming. It poisons fish by damaging their gills and preventing oxygen from dissolving in water. Plants are also negatively impacted. The document describes an experiment showing how a feather clumps differently in clean water versus oily or soapy water, representing the effects on birds. Overall, the oil spill causes mortality of marine animals by
The document provides instructions for an e-learning activity where students work in groups to research and share information about the springbok, the national animal of South Africa. Students are told to share what they know about springboks, questions they have, and then research answers by assigning questions to individual group members. The recorder is responsible for completing a KWL chart with the group's information and emailing it to their science teacher.
