Can you DESCRIBE and EXPLAIN our adaptations? Live Lab - Stick Insects Adaptations - Camouflage is the art of not being seen, practised by predators, prey and plants. Colour might help an organism blend in with their environment. Body shapes can make them appear to be some other object common in the same surroundings. Stick insects have become masters of this art. Research their adaptations? http://www.bbc.co.uk/nature/life/Phasmatodea (this link may help!) Interdependence – A food chain shows what eats what in a particular habitat. A food web is simply a number of food chains joined together. Construct a food web containing stick insects? Classification - Similarities and differences between living things on Earth are used to put them into groups. This process is called classification. A species is a group of organisms that can breed together to produce fertile offspring. Try to classify our stick insects? How many species are there? http://www.wellcometreeoflife.org/ (Why don’t you start here!) Types of reproduction - How do stick insects reproduce? http://www.diffen.com/difference/Asexual_Reproduction_vs_Sexual_Reproduction How might evolution by natural selection be linked to this? What would Lamarck say? Triple Science Biology Unit 1 Exam Style questions: 1. Plants and animals have become adapted in many different ways to reduce the risk of being eaten by predators. Describe these adaptations.
