Some facts about Pandas
• Do you know these facts about pandas?Origin : ChinaHabitat: forests mountain ranges of chinaDiet:bamboo grasses birds and rodents Digestive system: Lifespan: 20-30Weight:baby-1/900 of mothers weightConservation status: endangeredHow long have they been on this planet?
What helps pandas to survive in China?
• Bamboo,forsets,habatat
Why they are endangered?
• My prediction is:• Wood getting choped
down.

Essential questions – for the whole unit
• Do you know many animals that are native to Australia?
• What helps them to survive in Australia?
• What are their living status like in 21st century?
Animal Adaptations
Objectives of the lesson At the end of the lesson,
- we understand different concepts related to animal adaptation to the environment.
- we can relate these concepts to a situation. (We can give examples in relation to these concepts.)
e.g. adaptations, what does it mean? examples? behavioral adaptations, what does it mean? Examples? - we understand different strategies animals use to adapt themselves
to survive in the nature. e.g. camouflage, chemical defenses
Tasks for lesson 1:1. Vocabulary Splash
- Go to http://www.wordle.net/ - Break into groups of 3 or 4. - As a group discuss different terms/concepts we came across in this lesson. These are the words
we are going to put into the Wordle. For example: adaptation, habitat … - Individually, we create a Wordle with your preferred style. - Print it out and glue it into the science journal
2. Can I relate these words to a situation? - Discuss these words as a group. - Under the Wordle in your science journal, each group member chooses 3 different words, writing
the meaning in your own words and giving one example. For example: instinct: a species’ natural response to specific situation. For example, when winter
comes, some birds travel a long way to a warmer place and then come back the next year when winter is over.
3. Fill out a KWLH chart through out the lesson and glue it into the science journal at the end of the lesson.
Lesson one: Adaptations
What I know What I want to know What I’ve learnt How can I learn more
They have there own special habitat
Why animals adaptat and how.
A change a living creature goes through it could be mental or physical.

Physical adaptations
are body structures that allow an animal to find and consume food, defend itself,
and to reproduce its species.
Physical adaptations help an animal survive in its environment.
Hey! I’m a walking
stick. I look just like a
stick you’d find on the ground.

Sorting out the information
• What are the strategies of physical adaptations?
-------
Physical adaptation
Camouflage (use of color in a surrounding)
The chameleon can change its color to match its surroundings. Can you do that?
Mimicry (looking or sounding like another living
organism)
The Viceroy butterfly uses mimicry to look like the Monarch butterfly. Can you tell them apart?
Poisonous
Not poisonous
Physical adaptation
I’m the Monarch!
I’m the Viceroy!
Chemical defenses (like venom, ink, sprays)
Physical adaptation
Body coverings & parts (claws, beaks, feet, armor plates, skulls, teeth)
Physical adaptations
The elephant’s trunk is a physical adaptation that helps it to clean itself, eat, drink, and to pick
things up.
Each organism has unique methods of adapting to its environment by means of
different actions.
Behavioral Adaptations are animals’ actions.
Remember that Physical Adaptations are body
structures.
Sorting out the information
• What are the strategies of behavioral adaptations?
-------
We can divide Behavioral Adaptations into two groups:
Instinctive Learned
These behaviors happen naturally & don’t have to
be learned.
These behaviors must be taught.
Instinctive behaviors happen
naturally & don’t need to
be learned
=
Finding shelter
Methods of gathering & storing food
Defending oneself
Raising young
Hibernating
Migrating
Learned behaviors
Obtained by interacting with the environment and cannot be
passed on to the next generation
except by teaching.
=
Recap: In this lesson, we have learned about animal adaptations.
There are 2 ways to describe adaptations:
Physical and Behavioral
Physical adaptations are body structures.
Some examples of physical adaptations are:
Camouflage
Mimicry
Body coverings & parts
Chemical defenses
Behavioral Adaptations are animals’ actions.
Behavioral Adaptations can beInstinctive or Learned.
