Adaptations
A structure or behavior that helps an organism survive in its environment
An external structure that allows flamingos to walk on soft mud to get food or escape from predators.
Webbed feet
when 2 or more structures work together
system
What we know. For example, The black bear’s eyes and stomach work together to help it meet its survival needs.
Claim
Objects can be seen because of this
light
An adaptation that an organism HAS
structure
An external structure that allows flamingos to wade deeper into water to get shrimp (food)
Long legs
These two organisms have structures that work together to aid in its survival.
Bat and cactus flower
How we know what we know is true. For example,
The function of the bear’s eyes is to have color vision to see berries (food) easily.
The function of the bear’s stomach is to mash up the berries (food) so that the bear can eat many berries, very fast.
Evidence
a light source used in an experiment.
flashlight
An adaptation that an organism DOES
Behavior
An external structure that is large and allows a flamingo to get shrimp (food)
Large beak
These help the organisms survive, behave, and grow in their environment.
This explains why evidence supports a claim.
reasoning.
An object used in an experiment
tomatoe
A mother bird protects her baby birds and feeds them worms.
behavior
The job of a specific structure in an organism.
Function
Describe how two structures work together to help an insect run under the rock
Brain & Legs
Brain and Antennae
Muscles & Antenna e
A good habitat for a bear to live in.
Forest
We see objects when light reflects in this structure.
eye
structures
Both skeletons protect organs, but one is designed to function on 2 legs while the other is designed to function on 4 legs.
Wolf and human skeleton
Bears find food and eat thanks to these two structures and their functions to see and digest.
eyes and stomach
This sense structure has receptors that allow it to smell food and danger. The receptors send a message to the brain in order to get information about it's environment.
nose
Light reflects off of this into our eye.
