(9/10) How does heat explain how small or big an animal can be? Use 2 pieces of evidence from the NewsELA to explain your answer. by Mariam Taiyebi https://padlet.com/mariam_taiyebi/dt6pyxd1h8uutgd8 When you finish, 1) Respond with feedback to another student 2) Grade each post you see with 1-5 stars. en-us 2022-10-25 12:03:20 UTC 2025-12-28 09:45:36 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet.net/icons/png/1f998.png https://padlet.com/mariam_taiyebi/dt6pyxd1h8uutgd8/wish/2357730267 How heat explain how small or big the animal can be is the animal being small because in the article it says" Heat limits small mammals, too. The smallest animals can't get any smaller than about 1.8 grams (0.06 ounce).".]]> 2022-10-26 17:39:45 UTC https://padlet.com/mariam_taiyebi/dt6pyxd1h8uutgd8/wish/2357730267 https://padlet.com/mariam_taiyebi/dt6pyxd1h8uutgd8/wish/2357738497 The animal can over heat because in the article it say's that the animals that are big could over heat more than 100 degrees.The most smallest can't breath if they are getting over heated and they cannot get any smaller and smaller they can't get a lot breath if they cannot take care by there parents because then they would not breath.

Males weigh 6 metric tons. That is almost 7 tons. This is about as heavy as three cars."

But "Tiny mammals cannot keep enough heat in. They constantly lose heat to the air. They have to keep up their body temperatures. This requires a lot of energy" this is why they are so small.

That is 0.06 ounces. This is about as heavy as a penny." The smallest animals could have gotten is 1.8 grams.


Animals have to keep the right amount of temperature. "They have to keep up their body temperatures. This requires a lot of energy." It is require that they have this type of energy and especially for there body temperatures.

Because heat is lost from the surface of the body, small mammals lose a greater proportion of their body heat than large mammals. Mammals conserve body heat with their hair or fur. It traps a layer of warm air next to the skin]]> 2022-10-26 18:00:44 UTC https://padlet.com/mariam_taiyebi/dt6pyxd1h8uutgd8/wish/2357763622 How Heat explains how small or big an animal can be is that heat is limited to animals which means there is a limit in temperature that that animal has to be in. The heat has to be the perfect temperature for an animal to survive. And animals won't grow they can stay small if they aren't in the limit. My first piece of evidence to support this is from the article which the article states, "Heat limits small mammals. too. The smallest animals cannot get smaller than about 1.8 grams (0.06 ounces). This is about as heavy as a penny." My Last piece of evidence to wrap up my whole statement is "Tiny mammals cannot keep enough heat in. They constantly lose heat to the air. Keeping up their body temperature requires a lot of energy. "When you start getting sizes that small, you have to continually eat to be able to feed your body," Smith said." - Arely https://padlet.com/mariam_taiyebi/dt6pyxd1h8uutgd8/wish/2357768315 2022-10-26 18:03:53 UTC https://padlet.com/mariam_taiyebi/dt6pyxd1h8uutgd8/wish/2357768315 https://padlet.com/mariam_taiyebi/dt6pyxd1h8uutgd8/wish/2357792803 the evidence that I have from NewsELA us that  Smith said mammals could get as large as 109 metric tons. That is 120 tons. This is a bit larger than a 737 airplane. But there is no use in being that massive. The animal's legs would be gigantic. They could support its body. But the animal would not be able to move, she said.

but Heat limits small mammals, too. The smallest animals cannot get smaller than about 1.8 grams. That is 0.06 ounces. This is about as heavy as a penny.

They digest food. This generates energy. It helps them stay warm also if the mammal gets too hot, it will die So, it has to release that extra heat this is what i know.]]> 2022-10-26 20:28:03 UTC https://padlet.com/mariam_taiyebi/dt6pyxd1h8uutgd8/wish/2357954987
