2. Do-Now Take out Science Fair
As I check science fair answer the following question
Humans interact with their environment on a daily basis. They can have positive and negative effects. Using four vocabulary words from the chapter write a paragraph describe how human interaction affects the environment.
* Underline vocabulary words

3. Response
Humans destroy habitats in a number of different ways. One way is clearing land to build. Pollution may leak into the ecosystem. Oil and gasoline are abiotic factors that can damage the biotic environment like plants and animals. Organisms may have to emigrate to new habitats to survive. One such destroyer was the BP gasoline oil spill where hundreds of marine animals lost more than their homes.

Answer on back page
Humans interact with their environment on a daily basis. They can have positive and negative effects. Using four vocabulary words from the chapter write a paragraph describe how human interaction affects the environment.

7. Response
Natural selection is the process of positive adaptations being passed down from generation to generation. For example giraffes with long necks. We see this a lot in the animal kingdom, for example a mouse has brown fur as camouflage. Its predator an eagle has talons to grab the unsuspecting critter. As you can see adaptations are in full affect.

11. What is an adaptation?
Adaptation A characteristic that helps an organism to survive in its environment.
Survival in any ecosystem is a constant struggle. Organisms with successful adaptations survive more frequently that other organisms. The individuals that survive pass on their characteristics to their young.

12. Physical Adaptations Physical feature that helps and organism survive
Body part that gives an advantage

13. Physical Adaptations
Whale and dolphins can hold their breath for long periods of time. Other aquatic animals breathe using gills.

14. Physical Adaptations
Reptiles have dry, scaly, waterproof skin. This helps them survive on land and in dry environments.

15. Physical Adaptations THINK OF OTHER BIRDS WHAT ADAPATIONS DO THEY HAVE
Ostriches can run very fast.
Birds have hollow, light weight bones to help them fly. Birds that do not fly have other traits to help them adapt.
