2) Write one or more of the following adaptations: 
A1 - to cope with physical conditions 
A2  - to survive in their natural habitat
A3 - to reproduce 
A4 - to protect themselves against predators 
A5 - to obtain air, food and water

3) Write a short write up about the adaptation (Maximum 100 words) 

4) Include picture, video or link in the post. 

5) Include your names and register number at the end. 

Your teacher will give you further instructions on how to comment on each other's post after this. ]]> 2017-03-20 01:24:46 UTC https://padlet.com/chia_chin_ooi_calvin/Science_6E/wish/161048737 chia_chin_ooi_calvin https://padlet.com/chia_chin_ooi_calvin/Science_6E/wish/161048829

Write up: 
The camel is often known as ship of the desert, as it is able to survive the harsh conditions of the desert. 

They have long eyelashes that shield their eyes from the strong winds in the desert and the nostrils can be closed to block out the blowing sand. 

The broad, flat leathery pads at the bottom of their hooves allowing camels to walk without "sinking" into the sand. 

Camels store fats in their humps, enabling them to go for days without drinking or eating.

Write up: 
The lizard is able to run 20 times its body length in one second. 

But when it rests, it must dance to keep from burning on the boiling hot sand. 

The dancing reduces the amount of time it stays in contact with the hot sand, and surface area in contact with the hot sand, hence reducing heat gain from the hot sand, and preventing it from overheating.
