This ecosystem is its natural habitat. All organisms need to adapt to their habitat to be able to survive. Using Google Docs name the 4 animal habitats we have been studying in class and then list 3 adaptations animals may use to help them survive there. ]]> 2017-10-11 18:06:38 UTC https://padlet.com/geknauer/4g6cq0cic6tt/wish/196157684 geknauer https://padlet.com/geknauer/4g6cq0cic6tt/wish/196167505 2017-10-11 18:24:35 UTC https://padlet.com/geknauer/4g6cq0cic6tt/wish/196167505 geknauer https://padlet.com/geknauer/4g6cq0cic6tt/wish/196168713 This tech tool, although cool is related to the Substitution level in the SAMR Model because despite allowing for more collaboration, it adds no real improvement to the quality of this activity. It may however, be more interesting to students because they are using tech to create a document. ]]> 2017-10-11 18:26:29 UTC https://padlet.com/geknauer/4g6cq0cic6tt/wish/196168713 geknauer https://padlet.com/geknauer/4g6cq0cic6tt/wish/196171674 Read two adaptations (physical features) of sharks in this article:

Create a Tumblr blog post response (on my teacher blog) summarizing the two adaptations you read about and how they help the shark survive in its habitat. ]]> 2017-10-11 18:31:18 UTC https://padlet.com/geknauer/4g6cq0cic6tt/wish/196171674 geknauer https://padlet.com/geknauer/4g6cq0cic6tt/wish/196185297 Create a Venn Diagram using Gliffy that compares and contrasts the physical features animals need to survive in three of the four biomes we have been discussing in class.

Be careful when selecting adaptations! ]]> 2017-10-11 18:58:44 UTC https://padlet.com/geknauer/4g6cq0cic6tt/wish/196185297 geknauer https://padlet.com/geknauer/4g6cq0cic6tt/wish/196187543 Select one animal we have talked about that interests you. Once you have selected your animal, draw the habitat your animal lives in using Microsoft Paint. After you have drawn your habitat, list 5 adaptations your animal has that helps it survive where it lives. ]]> 2017-10-11 19:03:37 UTC https://padlet.com/geknauer/4g6cq0cic6tt/wish/196187543 geknauer https://padlet.com/geknauer/4g6cq0cic6tt/wish/196188658 2017-10-11 19:06:33 UTC https://padlet.com/geknauer/4g6cq0cic6tt/wish/196188658 geknauer https://padlet.com/geknauer/4g6cq0cic6tt/wish/196189986 We will be using Linoit to look at pictures of animals in their habitats...except there is a problem. In each picture, there is something wrong. It's up to us to evaluate what is wrong with each of the animals we see (look at their adaptations). 

As we spot the errors, we will talk about why they are wrong and volunteers will come up to correct them! ]]> 2017-10-11 19:09:44 UTC https://padlet.com/geknauer/4g6cq0cic6tt/wish/196189986 geknauer https://padlet.com/geknauer/4g6cq0cic6tt/wish/196194707 This activity acts as a direct tool substitute because as opposed to writing their summary, the students will be typing it. ]]> 2017-10-11 19:21:22 UTC https://padlet.com/geknauer/4g6cq0cic6tt/wish/196194707 geknauer https://padlet.com/geknauer/4g6cq0cic6tt/wish/196194962 This activity allows students to take their drawings to the next level which allows for a significant task redesign.

Students will be completing a "search and find" of sorts but the activity will be interactive and engaging. The technology takes the lesson to the next level. ]]> 2017-10-11 19:23:53 UTC https://padlet.com/geknauer/4g6cq0cic6tt/wish/196195555 geknauer https://padlet.com/geknauer/4g6cq0cic6tt/wish/196196127 As we are completing our unit we will be thinking more about all we have learned about animals; their habitats and life cycles.

 For this activity you will be creating a voice thread that incorporates all you have learned about 1 biome of your choosing as well as 1 animal that lives their and the adaptations that make them better suited to live there. The voicethread should be at least 5 minutes long. ]]> 2017-10-11 19:25:26 UTC https://padlet.com/geknauer/4g6cq0cic6tt/wish/196196127 geknauer https://padlet.com/geknauer/4g6cq0cic6tt/wish/196197050 This activity would be inconceivable without technology and therefore falls under the Redefinition category of the SAMR Model. The voicethread option is a great way to allow students to present as it is creative and allows them to show what they have learned in a non threatening way. ]]> 2017-10-11 19:27:23 UTC https://padlet.com/geknauer/4g6cq0cic6tt/wish/196197050 geknauer https://padlet.com/geknauer/4g6cq0cic6tt/wish/196204557 2017-10-11 19:51:18 UTC https://padlet.com/geknauer/4g6cq0cic6tt/wish/196204557
