Due in October... and time will be given in class.
Find an animal that you think is a little on the scary side to do a very SHORT "poster" project on. It can be because the animal looks scary, is poisonous, has extra eyes, or only comes out in the middle of the night. Your animal could be as harmless as a daddy long legs (no harm to humans but watch out other spiders) or a dangerous crocodile. Be creative and have fun.
Create a 1 page Google Drawing (8 x 10) of your scary animal with the criteria below. We will learn how to save it and turn into google classroom as a jpg.
If you can print a color copy, that would be great. Otherwise, I can try and print for you, we will figure that out later.
Extinct animals are okay. Humans are not.
Organisms can be in any of the 6 kingdoms that we learn about: Archaebacteria, Eubacteria, Protista, Fungi, Plants or animals. NO VIRUSES.
Criteria
Remember, these descriptions are supposed to be short. On your 1 page google drawing…
1. 1 large picture and optional additional smaller ones if you would like
2. Name of the animal large to be seen from a distance
3. Scientific Name (Genus + species) (small). We will discuss this 2 word system in class.
4. The reason you think this is a Scary animal in 1 sentence or bullet
5. An Adaptation that helps it survive in 1 sentence or bullet
6. Is your animal an omnivore, herbivore or carnivore?
7. A predator (something that eats your animal) of your spooky animal and a Prey (something that your animal eats).
8. Organ systems.
Skeletal system: endoskeleton, exoskeleton or none at all.
Cardiovascular system: Compared to humans, how does their body circulate oxygen and nutrients to each cell.
Respiratory system: How does your organism get oxygen? Do they have lungs like humans?
Digestive System: How does it get nutrients? Does it eat? Have a system like ours? Google a picture of the digestive system and make some general comparisons to humans.
9. Name a biome this animal can be found in. List 3 biotic and 3 abiotic factors.
Low effort will be given a lower grade.
