Welcome to our Defense Mechanism Debate Padlet! Please follow the instructions below to complete the activity. If you have any questions, please ask your teacher for help.

• Create three posts - one in each section - to build your defense case.

• In the "Animal Introduction" section, share basic information about your animal and its defense mechanism. • In the "Evidence" section, add visual or audio proof of your animal's defense mechanism in action.

• In the "Debate Arguments" section, explain why your animal's defense mechanism is the most effective.

• Read other groups' posts and prepare to debate in class why your animal's defense mechanism is superior!

Tarantulas

Tarantulas have clever ways to protect themselves. They can throw tiny, itchy hairs from their bodies to scare off predators. Tarantulas can also use their big fangs to bite, but they usually try to scare predators away first by raising their front legs to look big and scary.

The tarantula's defense mechanism is very effective because it has a combination of strategies. By flicking itchy hairs, it can keep enemies away without fighting. If the hairs don’t work, the tarantula raises its legs to look big and intimidating. Finally, it can use its fangs to defend itself. This combination of defenses helps the tarantula stay safe.

My animal is a cheetah . It has special ways to protect itself from danger. One way it defends itself is running fast. This helps because it protects itself. Another way it stays safe is blending into tall grass.this works by hiding. These defence mechanisms help the cheetah survive in its environment.

My animal is a tortoise. It has special ways to protect itself from danger. One way it defends itself is to hide its head, feet, and tail in their shell. This helps because then the tortoise will be safe. Another way it stays safe is by hiding in grass. This works by making it difficult to find the tortoise. These defense mechanisms help the tortoise survive in its environment.

Lizard

One way it defends itself is that lizards hide in the sand.This helps

because they camouflage from predators. Another way it stays safe is by puffing up.

This works by killing its predators. These defense mechanisms help the lizard survive

in its environment.

Arctic Fox

One way it defends itself is by using its thick white fur to blend into the snow. This helps because predators cannot see it. Another way it stays safe is by digging burrows to hide.This works by keeping the arctic fox safe from the cold and other animals. These defense mechanisms help the arctic fox survive in the snowy tundra.
