Seventh Grade Week 10

We come to the end of our look into the diversity of living things by talking about the last two types of vertebrates: birds and mammals.

As with all things before this, we ask what adaptations do these organisms have to survive? How are birds and mammals adapted to living in many different environments?
More importantly, what trends do you see when you look back at all the living things we have talked about in this units. From bacteria to single-celled organisms to fungi and plants to invertebrate and vertebrate animals.

As with previous contracts, contract 10 has us look at a specific species and describe how it meets its needs for survival.

Trends I see between all these living things
* different ways of energy, but all do eat: start with producers
*getting around,
*reproducing,like seeds, spores, sexually, cell division
*but all have adapted and some evolved from eachother. like a fish to an amphibian.

Mammals are endotherms, like birds, so they can control their body temp inhot or cold weather.
