11. Answer the following questions
Thursday January 25, 2018
Supplies:
Natural Selection and Adaptation Workbook

Agenda
Comparing a Human and Avian Skeleton Worksheet
7.11C TEK: Investigate and explain how internal structures of organisms have adaptations that allow specific functions such as gills in fish, hollow bones in birds, or xylem in plants.
Learning Target:
By the end of class, students will be able to compare a bird skeleton to a human skeleton.
Science Starter:
Answer the following questions
pg. 3—TEK 7.12A
Pg. 7—1D, 1E, 3A, 3B, 5AB
School Agenda:
1/25—Adaptations

12. Answers to pgs. 3, 7, 8
Pg. 3 (7.12A)
What do gills do to keep fish alive? Gills allow fish to breathe under water.
How do hollow bones benefit birds? Hollow bones are lighter and allow for lift and birds are able to fly.
Xylem flow in Plants? Xylem tube moves water from the root of the plant to the leaves so photosynthesis may occur.
Pg. 7.
1D— a. Adaptations in flight
1E-- adaptation
3A— b. The size of the eyes
3B— b. Frequent droughts
5AB—d. Hollow bones provide strength with less mass.
