Arctic Adaptations | How Do Animals Survive The Cold?

Teach Animal Adaptations: How do polar animals deal with the cold everyday? Sub-freezing temperatures are a problem for all living things. In the polar regions temperatures are so low that hypothermia can quickly set in. So to survive an extremely cold climate animals need to keep heat from leaving their bodies.

SCIENCE STANDARDS:
TEKS
SCI.3.9.C
Organisms and environments. The student knows and can describe patterns, cycles, systems, and relationships within the environments. The student is expected to: describe environmental changes such as floods and droughts where some organisms thrive and others perish or move to new locations.
SCI.3.10.A
Organisms and environments. The student knows that organisms undergo similar life processes and have structures that help them survive within their environments. The student is expected to: explore how structures and functions of plants and animals allow them to survive in a particular environment
SCI.4.10.A
Organisms and environments. The student knows that organisms undergo similar life processes and have structures and behaviors that help them survive within their environment. The student is expected to: explore how structures and functions enable organisms to survive in their environment
SCI.5.10.A
Organisms and environments. The student knows that organisms have structures and behaviors that help them survive within their environments. The student is expected to: compare the structures and functions of different species that help them live and survive in a specific environment such as hooves on prairie animals or webbed feet in aquatic animals; and
SCI.7.11.B
Organisms and environments. The student knows that populations and species demonstrate variation and inherit many of their unique traits through gradual processes over many generations. The student is expected to: explain variation within a population or species by comparing external features, behaviors, or physiology of organisms that enhance their survival such as migration, hibernation, or storage of food in a bulb; and
NGSS
3-LS4-3 Biological Evolution: Unity and Diversity
Construct an argument with evidence that in a particular habitat some organisms can survive well, some survive less well, and some cannot survive at all.
3-LS4-4
Make a claim about the merit of a solution to a problem caused when the environment changes and the types of plants and animals that live there may change. Examples of environmental changes could include changes in land characteristics, water distribution, temperature, food, and other organisms. Assessment is limited to a single environmental change. Assessment does not include the greenhouse effect or climate change.
4-LS1-1
Construct an argument that plants and animals have internal and external structures that function to support survival, growth, behavior, and reproduction. Examples of structures could include thorns, stems, roots, colored petals, heart, stomach, lung, brain, and skin. Assessment is limited to macroscopic structures within plant and animal systems.
MS-LS2-1
Analyze and interpret data to provide evidence for the effects of resource availability on organisms and populations of organisms in an ecosystem. Emphasis is on cause and effect relationships between resources and growth of individual organisms and the numbers of organisms in ecosystems during periods of abundant and scarce resources.
MS-LS2-4
Construct an argument supported by empirical evidence that changes to physical or biological components of an ecosystem affect populations. Emphasis is on recognizing patterns in data and making warranted inferences about changes in populations, and on evaluating empirical evidence supporting arguments about changes to ecosystems.

Perfect for our homeschool unit on animal adaptations. I look forward to seeing what else you've got!

[@madgardenscience]

I’m so glad it was helpful! Love homeschool families 💛

[@elninorosario]

This is top quality content! ... I'm surprised how underrated this channel is!. This content is really good for kids and teens to learn more about science.

[@madgardenscience]

Thank you so much! Here's to continuing to grow and teach 🤓💛

[@LoriBlack-mk5wz]

I agree. Fun and informative. Not too long and easy to retain info.
