This document provides instructions for a biology assignment where students must choose and research two animals from different habitats. They are to describe the physical, physiological, and behavioral adaptations that help each animal survive in its specific habitat. Additionally, students should discuss any threats to each animal's survival and what conservationists can do to help. The assignment requires students to include the scientific name, physical description, habitat, climate, diet, and special features of each animal. They must then explain how the structural, internal, and behavioral adaptations aid survival and present their findings in a publisher document or other presentation tool.

Adaptations investigation Name ___________________
Partner _________________ You and your partner are members of an environmental conservation group. Your task is to choose two animals from two different habitats and find out about the adaptations that enable their survival. Steps Check
2 Locate books and websites that will assist you in your
research (https://a-z-animals.com/animals/scientific/ ) Make notes in your Science books as you are researching and keep track of the books and websites that you have used for you bibliography DO NOT copy and paste directly from the internet to your presentation 3 Include the following information: Animals scientific name (e.g. canis lupis dingo) Physical description Habitat (include map/images) Climate Diet (state if a carnivore (meat eater), herbivore (plant eater) or omnivore (eats everything) and identify the animals main source of nutrients Special features (e.g. sharp teeth, thick fur, etc.) 4 Describe and explain how the animals structural, physiological and behavioural adaptations help it to survive in its habitat. (What is it about the animals body, both the physical structure and internal features that aid in its survival?) As well, what type of behaviour assists in the animals survival an example could be migration (birds), hibernation (bears).
5 Bonus question: What are the main threats to the survival of both animals? What can conservationists do to help? 6 Include a glossary and bibliography 7 Presentation: Publisher document (attachment) or other presentation tool Useful resources: http://www.bbc.co.uk/schools/gcsebitesize/science/ocr_gateway/understandi ng_environment/sustainabilityrev2.shtml Due Date: Week 2, Term 4
