Hi students! The goal for this blog is for you to become familiar with plant and animal adaptations. An adaptation is a trait that helps an organism survive. Below you will find various plants and animals. Choose a plant or animal to research. Write a reply that includes adaptations for this plant or animal. For each adaptation identify it as a behavioral or physical adaptation. Be sure to include what the adaptation is and how it helps the plant or animal to survive and thrive.
Your post must be a minimum of 1 paragraph (5-8 sentences) detailing the adaptations of the organism you choose.
Your post must be written in complete sentences with correct grammar, spelling and punctuation.
You must also respond to at least 3 classmate’s posts. When responding to a classmate, you may add additional information to their post, compare what they have written to the adaptations of a different organisms, or ask a question about what they posted.
The stick insect is one of the best to blind in with trees. Typically shades of the stick insect are brown but some may be black,gray or even blue. You might think of an insect being on a stick but the stick insect usually spends its time right in the open.
Some stick insects can make their colors lighter or darker. Changing their color also controls the body temperature. They live in the tropics. The insect remains pale in the sun reflecting heat. As the temperature drops, it becomes dark to absorb heat. These are phyisical changes.
