Assignments for March 18, 19, and 20.
All of these except Gizmos should be finished in class by Friday. Anything not completed in class by FRIDAY is your homework. Have each assignment reviewed by the substitute and log it in to get credit. If it's not logged in by Friday you must have it ready by Monday.You may work on Gizmos at home. Remember to take the quiz for the unit.The assignments may be completed in any order.
You will want to have the following materials for completing some of the tasks:
White printer paper* and color pencils or markers
[ ] Read “Animal Behavior”: Chapter 11, Section 3, pages 286 – 291. Work with a partner. Both of you read the Survival Behavior passages silently. Summarize the text aloud to your partner. Your partner should listen to the retelling and take notes on the key ideas. Switch roles and repeat the activity for the Seasonal Behaviors passages.
Make a venn diagram to compare and contrast hibernation to estivation. Use examples (words/pictures) to illustrate your mini-poster (one sheet of unlined paper).
[ ] Read “Adaptations and Survival” Chapter 11, Section 4 pages 292 – 293.
As you read the section make a “spider map” for different types of adaptations. You can find directions for this map on p. 755 of your red book. You may make this in your ISN.
Read “Types of Interactions”: Chapter 12, Section 3, pages 318 – middle of 323. Continue the spider map for adaptations.
Make a Three Panel Flip Chart for Symbiosis. Use your paper to make this. You can find directions for the chart on p. 753 of your red book.
[ ] Model Making Lab: Adaptation- It’s a Way of Life
Select one animal from your recent ecosystem project. Change its ecosystem drastically (example -rapid climate change due to abiotic factors). Use the adaptations listed on p. 298 to design an animal that has adapted to the new changes. Make a mini-poster (one sheet of paper) of your animal.Explain how your animal has adapted to its new habitat. Answering questions 1 -2, and 4 for your animal and its habitat might be useful.
[ ] Choose either of the 2 assigned Gizmo units. Use the Exploration Guides to explore the simulation. The guides are printed out and will be used by many people so you may not write on them. If you want your own copy you will have to print one at home or the public library or bring your own paper to print at school. You may record your notes in your ISN. You may work in groups to do the work, but you must take the test independently without help from anyone else.
[ ] Read “The Cycles of Matter: Chapter 13, Section 1, pages 336 – 341.
Draw a page size poster for the Water Cycle or write a children’s book using Julia Landon College Prep as your location. Where does the runoff go? Where does the water that goes into the storm sewers go? Where does Transpiration occur? Label the parts of the water cycle and use arrows to show the journey water might take.

* I am out of paper at this time. If you can donate a pack of paper for use by students in school I would love to have some. As it is I've had to purchase several packs and borrow some from other teachers. Please help if you can. Our new printers are wonderful, but just don't work without paper.
Also, if you can make copies at home I will need to have some materials run off to help students prepare for the end of the year exam and I am only allowed a limited number of copies each month. THANK YOU in advance.
