The goal is to educate students so they can help save rainforest animals, whose habitats are in trouble, by spreading awareness to their community.
This document is a literature review summarizing research on the social behavior of various parrot species. Studies have found that parrots exhibit social behaviors like cooperating with mated partners, communicating vocally through learned dialects, and defending nesting territories, while also being negatively impacted by solitary housing. Research indicates parrots have intelligence and problem-solving abilities, though more research is needed due to the challenges of studying wild parrot populations and keeping exotic birds in captivity.
This document describes an experiment to test how different beak shapes affect a bird's ability to gather food. Students will act as birds with spoons, forks or sporks to collect beans and peas, and the amounts gathered will be counted. The hypothesis is that the spork bird will collect the most food and the fork bird the least. Students will rotate roles as the bird, nest and counter. They will then analyze the results and factors affecting food collection.
Why mobile will revolutionize the digital workplaceEmployeeApp GmbH
Mobile access will revolutionize the digital workplace by providing increased reach, concentration, and separation of work styles. With mobile, employees can access work from anywhere, allowing reach to those not sitting at a desk. Mobile also provides moments of undivided attention that improve concentration versus multitasking at a desk. Further, mobile allows better separation of focused work from notifications through customized settings, separating work styles digitally.
Making an intranet or parts of it available on mobile involves much more than just making it “responsive”. “Mobile” enables communicators to reach new non-desk audiences, but also creates previously unknown technical and practical challenges as a consequence.
The document provides an overview of learning expectations, units of study, and lesson plans for a Visual Design course. It outlines three strands (Creating and Presenting, Reflecting and Analyzing, and Foundations).

The document discusses how freshwater invertebrates, specifically mollusks or snails, make up a significant portion of Alabama's biodiversity as there are 180 mollusk species in the state, and notes that pollution of freshwater habitats could negatively impact these species by threatening the aquatic ecosystems they depend on for survival. It also provides context that mollusks are commonly found in aquatic environments throughout North America.
This document provides instructions for a classroom experiment to simulate fish feeding competition. Students will be assigned a fish species and using adapted tools like chopsticks or straws to collect food, representing how different species have adapted to feed. They will record data on how much each species collects and answer questions to analyze which species was the most successful feeder based on adaptation. The experiment aims to test hypotheses and help students understand adaptation and competition for resources in aquatic ecosystems.
This lesson plan aims to teach students about how pollution moves up the food chain. Students roleplay as aquatic insects collecting pieces of "phytoplankton" that represent food. Some pieces are secretly poison. Students then group up to represent smaller fish eating the insects, and group further to become larger predatory fish. They count the total poison passed up each level. This allows students to see how pollution becomes more concentrated at each level, harming organisms. The lesson concludes with a discussion of the students' observations about how poisons concentrate in food chains.
The document discusses the key characteristics of mammals. It explains that mammals are defined as animals that have fur or hair, breathe air, have backbones, give birth to live babies, and are warm-blooded. Mammals can be found living in forests, plains and fields, water, and deserts. They eat a variety of foods including meat, plants, and milk. The document confirms that humans and common pets like cats and dogs are mammals. It provides examples of mammals and activities for teaching others about their characteristics.

The NOVA program discusses how dogs evolved from wolves through two competing theories:
1) Wolves were adopted by Stone Age humans and selectively bred for tameness. 2) Wolves essentially domesticated themselves by foraging near human dumps, where tameness was advantageous. The program explores how traits like tails and ears differ from wolves, considers experiments showing how selection for tameness produced dog-like traits, and proposes theories on how diversity and adaptation abilities arose in dogs. It also reviews problems with genetic diseases in purebred dogs.
The document contains summaries of several children's books about animals, nature, and science. It discusses books about dangerous animals and what not to do around them, animal body parts and adaptations, animal life cycles and growth, the biggest and smallest animals, how animals catch food and survive, and how colorful animal patterns help them live. The document provides summaries of classroom activities teachers could do with students after reading each book aloud. The activities involve discussing the books, drawing pictures, acting out animals, writing facts, and more.
The document discusses key concepts around niches and interactions between species in an ecosystem. It defines niche as the role and habitat of a species, including biotic and abiotic factors. It explains that species compete for resources if their niches overlap too much. Specialized species have narrow niches and are more vulnerable to extinction from environmental changes. Convergent evolution and coevolution can cause different species to evolve similar traits to fill similar niches or as they interact and exert selection pressures on each other over time.
