t Ideas
• Science – Have students plan an extension of the comparison of
plants by bringing into the class other local aquatic plants as
comparisons. (Can be found at local pond and aquatic fish stores).
• Science – Have students research the types of symbiotic relationships
found within the aquatic environment and have students report on the
adaptations made by organisms.
• Science – Have students create posters of aquatic organisms that
highlight the adaptations they have made in order to survive.
• Science – Have students research aquatic plants and animals and
report on any adaptations of plants or animals that have caused them
to crowd out native species when they were introduced to other
ecosystems.
• Science – Choose two plants from entirely different
ecosystems/biomes and compare their adaptations based on what
they need to survive (arctic flowers vs. cacti).
Lesson Objectives – You may choose to show this slide to the students or you can hide it during the presentation.
To reinforce the concept
Have students write their answers to the “Think About” questions in their journals… this will also serve as a spot check for understanding.
Hands-On ActivityStudents will complete the Hands-On Activity*Create text box for what students should do.
Project Ideas: To help your students apply their understanding of the subconcepts, you may wish to have your students complete some follow-up projects. The time required to complete each project will vary; some may require students to work outside the classroom.
