  1. Plant Adaptations

  2. Types of Adaptations • Structural Adaptations • The way something is built or made. • Behavioral Adaptations • The way something acts naturally or by instinct.

  3. Plant Adaptationsfor different Biomes

  4. Group Discussion • Each group will get a biome • Desert (table 1) • Grassland (table 2) • Tundra (table 3) • Rainforest (table 4) • Temperate forest (table 5) • Water/ Marine (table 6) In your table group, discuses what kind of adaptations do the plants have in order to live in your biome

  5. Desert Adaptations • Small leaves or spines conserve water • Thick waxy skin holds in water • Roots near the soils surface soak up rain water quickly before it evaporates. • Long roots to get ground water

  6. Grassland Adaptations • Deep roots help plants survive prairie fires • Narrow leaves lose less water than broad leaves. • Flexible stems bend in the wind.

  7. Tundra Adaptations • Small plants grow close to the ground for warmth. • Dark colored flowers absorb heat from the sun. • Fuzzy stems provide protection from wind.

  8. Rainforest Adaptations • Smooth, slippery bark keeps vines from killing trees. • Slide shaped leaves lets rain run off so fungus doesn’t grow on plants.

  9. Temperate Forest Adaptations • Thick bark protects trees • Dropping leaves in winter conserves water and nutrients during cold winters.

  10. Water Adaptations • Flexible stems move with water currents • Floating seeds spread offspring

  11. Assignment • Make up your own plant to live in a biome of your choice from the notes. • Make a poster of what your plant and biome looks like • Write an explanation of your plant and its biome. See rubric
