  1. Science AIMS Review Environments

  2. Camouflage - To hide/blend in with ones surroundings Animal Adaptation http://www.longhorn-cattle.com/camo2.html

  3. Mimicry - a resemblance of one living thing to another or to natural objects among which it lives that gives it an advantage This is a Hawk Moth caterpillar that looks like a snake. Its enemies don’t know it is not a snake, so they stay away. http://www.alleghany.k12.va.us/animal%20adaptation%20webpage/animal_mimicry.htm

  4. Symbiosis • Relationships between organisms • Mutualism • Parasitism • Commensalism

  5. Mutualism - association between different kinds of organisms that benefits both Coral sweeps material from the water and turns it into carbon dioxide and nitrogenous wastes. The dinoflagellates (single-cell, mostly marine, organisms) use the carbon dioxide and nitrogenous wastes to form oxygen and sugars that are in turn used by the coral polyps as well as the dinoflagellates. http://www.nearctica.com/ecology/pops/mutual.htm There are aphids that eat plants. The ladybug eats the aphids. The ladybug gets to eat and the plant gets rid of what is eating it.

  6. 2. Parasitism : Association in which one organism gains, while the other suffers. Fleas live off of the blood of their host. Fleas will usually cause their host to become itchy.

  7. 3. Commensalism - Association in which one organism gains and the other in unaffected http://www.nearctica.com/ecology/pops/commens.htm Barnacles need a place to live. They will attach to rocks, ships, shells, whales, and just about anywhere else they can. The object they attach to is not harmed and they gain by having a place to live.

  8. Physical adaptation - A characteristic or modification in an animal's body that helps it survive in its habitat

  9. Behavioral adaptation – A characteristic or modification in an animal's behavior that helps it survive in its habitat

  10. Vertebrate – animal with backbones Types of Animals

  11. Invertebrate – animal without a backbone

  12. Mammals – warm-blooded, have hair or fur, give birth to live babies, produce milk for their young

  13. Reptiles – cold-blooded, most lay eggs, have scales

  14. Plants flower leaves Holds the seed that allows for reproduction The leaves use sunlight to provide the plant with energy. stem roots The stem helps to support the plant and carries water and nutrients to the rest of the plant. If the plant does not have much water the stem will shrink. The roots absorb water from the soil. Roots anchor a plant and keep it from blowing or washing away.

  15. Renewable – is a resource that can be replenished as fast as it can be used (example – Solar) Types of Resources

  16. Non-renewable resource – a resource that cannot be produced, re-grown, regenerated, or reused as fast as it is used

  17. Negative Human Impacts on the Environment • Construction • Cutting down trees • Pollution • Trash

  18. Negative Natural Impact to the Environment • Flood • Fire • Hurricane • Tornado • Earthquake • Volcano
