1. Do YOU know your adaptations?!

2. What type of adaptation is this?

3. Plant adaptations Dormancy
Plants also have something similar to behavioural adaptations
They are called responses
What might a plant do in the winter time?
Dormancy
This is when something stops growing
Most plants stop growing in the winter
Fall?
Plants lose their leaves and grow new ones in spring
WHY?
Save water because they won’t lose any from their leaves over the winter  can stay alive
What about plants that die in the winter?
Have seeds that will survive and grow into new plants in the spring!

4. Five Features of habitats
What are the five features (categories) that we use for habitats?
Amount of Light
Amount of Water
Temperature
Type of Food
Type of Shelter

5. Boreal forest On the northern part of British Columbia
Winter is long and cold
Summer is warm but very short.
There are both wet and dry types of soil and different trees that like each soil
Many ponds and lakes
Moose
Eat plants that grow near and under water
Ducks
Live on the ponds and lakes
Black Spruce Tree
Food for many birds and also deer

7. Desert habitats Usually sunny and dry Sandy soil
Hot during the day, cold during the night
Only a few trees
But there are shrubs, patches of grass and small cacti (cactus)
The roots and leaves of these plants help them live in the heat
The plants give animals shelter from the Sun, and also food and nesting sites

8. animals Great Basin pocket mouse It likes to burrow in the sandy soil
It stores and eats the seeds of the antelope brush shrub

10. Temperate rain forest Temperate Means not too hot and not too cold
On the coast of British Columbia
Lots of rain, mist and fog
Temperate
Means not too hot and not too cold
Lots of moisture and has a cool temperature
This is good for plant growth
Many plants give shade to the stream
This makes the water cold
It is the perfect habitat for salmon! In the fall, they lay their eggs.
The plants also help the fish by hiding their eggs from eagles
