Who eats who!!!!! Help!!! Level 3 4 5 6 7 Can do now YOU NEED TO KNOW…… Know how an animal is suited to where it lives, i.e. fish have fins & gills. Know the basic difference between vertebrates & invertebrates. Know that plants & animals can be put into different groups – classified. Understand how to use a key to identify an organism. Be able to draw simple food chains and identify producer & consumer. Draw food webs and explain how the organisms rely on each other. Know that environmental factors affect where organisms can live. Predict how environmental predators can affect population sizes. Draw pyramids of numbers to represent population in a food chain. Describe how energy flows through a food chain. REVIEW Objectives Today I will learn: • The important physical factors in the environment of animals and plants • How plants and animals differ due to their environment (Adaptation) • How to identify producers primary consumers and predators • How to sort ‘classify’ animals into groups Objectives In today’s lesson we will also learn: • About the different habitats organisms live in. • How to describe the environment of different habitats. • About the special adaptations that organisms have to help them live in their habitat. Key words • Habitat • Environment • Adapted • Adaptation • Producer • Consumer • Predator Raw Meat sounds good Just give me a carrot Habitats o What is a habitat? o The place where an organism lives is called a habitat. Different organisms live in different habitats. Can you name some organisms for each of the habitats? Pond Woodland Sea Environment • The word environment is used to describe what a habitat is like. . Adaptations • Adaptations are features which organisms have that help them survive in their habitat I would call my environment So what lives here?? This place was a bit too……………………. A camels habitat is a desert Hot, Dry but at least you don’t get bothered by people • Adaptations: They are desert animals and have numerous adaptations for life in an arid habitat. 1. The hump stores fat, which they are able to draw upon for water. 2. They have webbed feet (to prevent sinking in the sand); 3. They can close their nostrils and they have a double row of eyelashes to keep out the sand. 4. They can endure long periods without drinking - up to 17 days. 5. When they do drink, they can take up to 136 litres (30 gallons) at a time. By producing dry faeces and little urine, they can conserve water. 6. Their body temperature can rise 6-8 degree Celsius before sweating. Apart from the camels this place is great!! So what if I don’t have any leaves!!! Who lives here??? It’s the right temperature and no-one but no-one messes with me I do Who eats who?? So who eats grass? But who eats us?? We do We do…… There is nothing like a Sunday joint of human!!!
