  3. Motivation • “Why hello there, folks. My name is Henry the safari hat. I am here to assist you whenever the opportunity presents itself. Feel free to click on me at any time.”

  4. Learning Environment • Students will need the following: • A personal computer • Ear buds • Speakers

  5. Target Audience • My target audience will be fourth through sixth grade students.

  6. Objective #1 • Given a picture of the Golden Lion Tamarin, students will be able to label adaptations and specializations with 95% accuracy.

  7. Objective #2 • Given a map of the Tropical Rainforest, students will be able to successfully point out the endangered areas with 100% accuracy.

  8. Objective #3 • Given an environment of Toco Toucans, students will be able to properly recognize predators of Toco Toucans with 75% accuracy.

  9. Get ready . . . • Let’s start by learning about the Toco Toucans and their habitats, eating habits, adaptations and reproduction.

  10. Toco Toucan DescriptionRamphastos toco • Entire body—63.5 centimeters (25 inches in length) • Beak alone—approximately 19 centimeters (8 inches long) • Known for it’s vibrant orange beak

  11. Eating Habits • Fruits • Insects • Lizards (on occasion) • Eggs of smaller birds

  12. Reproduction • Parents share incubationuntil clutches of 2-5 hatch • Leave eggs uncovered for 16 days • Nestlings spread their wings when 43 days old

  13. Do You Remember? • What is a Toco Toucan’s scientific name? • On occasion, what animal do toucans eat? • What age do nestlings fly away from the nest?

  14. ApplicationQuestion 1 • A) Dryadula phaetusa • B) Ramphastos toco • C) Babyrousa babyrousa

  15. ApplicationQuestion 2 • A) Lizards • B) Insects • C) Fruits

  16. ApplicationQuestion 3 • A) 20 days old • B) 5 days old • C) 43 days old

  17. Congratulations!  • Great Job!! You really know your facts about Toco Toucans.

  18. Incorrect  • Aw, so close. It’s okay to go back to review. Toco toucans have their species (toco) in their scientific name.

  19. Up next is . . . Capybara • Next we will review the characteristics, eating habits and reproduction of the Capybara.

  20. Capybara DescriptionHydrochaeris hydrochaeris • Body: 1-1.3 meters (3 ¼-4 ¼ feet) Tail: vestigial • Conservation status (endangered or not?): non-threatened • Order: Rodentia Class: Mammalia

  21. Capybara Eating Habits • Woods and nuts • Aquatic plants • Grains • Fruits

  22. Capybara Reproduction • Common name: “Master of the Grasses” • Scientific name: “Water Hog” • Reach sexual maturity at 18 months • Gestation period: 130-150 days

  23. Review Time  • 1) What is the conservation status of the capybara? • 2) What four foods do they consume? • 3) What does vestigial mean?

  24. Vocabulary • Incubation: lay on eggs until hatched • Gestation: development of an embryo of a viviparous mammal • Vestigial: having attained a simple structure and reduced size • Permeable: to be penetrated

  25. Application Question 4 • A) Endangered (not threatened) • B) Threatened • C) Extinct

  26. ApplicationQuestion 5 • A) Fruit, grains, woods, nuts • B) Other animals at a similar size • C) Plankton

  27. ApplicationQuestion 7 • A) A mammal is not able to have young during this time • B) Cannot have children at all • C) development of an embryo of a viviparous mammal between conception and birth

  28. Moving along to theStrawberry Poison Dart Frog • Next we will review the specializations, habitat, adaptations and reproduction of the Strawberry Poison Dart Frog.

  29. Strawberry SpecializationsDendrobatespumilio • Native to tropical rainforests in Nicaragua, Costa Rica and Panama. • Reaches 17-24 millimeters in length • The head is a strawberry-red or orange-red. Blue or black spots can be found in the lower regions.

  30. Strawberry Poison Dart Frog Habitat • Ground level vegetation • Nicaragua, Costa Rica and Panama

  31. Poison Dart Frog Adaptations • Breathes with gills as tadpoles • Amphibians have permeable skin—allows them to absorb both water and oxygen from the environment.

  32. Strawberry Poison Dart Frog Reproduction • Females lay eggs in leaf-litters • On plants • When hatched, tadpoles lay on their mother’s back

  33. Pop Quiz! • 1) What is the length of the Strawberry Poison Dart Frog? • 2) What level of vegetation do they live? • 3) What do amphibians absorb?

  34. ApplicationQuestion 8 • A) 40-60 mm • B) 2-6 mm • C) 17-24 mm

  35. ApplicationQuestion 9 • A) Ground • B) Middle • C) Higher

  36. ApplicationQuestion 10 • A) Water and Oxygen • B) Water • C) Oxygen

  37. Correct! • Great job! You really understand this concept  Keep it up!

  38. Incorrect  • Aw, so close. It’s okay to go back to review. Strawberry Poison Dart Frogs stretch out to the length of 17-24 millimeters.

  39. Incorrect  • Aw, so close! Go back and review. Strawberry Poison Dart Frogs are located on the ground level of vegetation.

  40. Incorrect  • Aw, so close! It’s more than alright to go back and review. Strawberry Poison Dart Frogs absorb both water and oxygen from the environment.

  41. Jaguar • Let’s continue on with learning about the Jaguar’s description, predators and habitat.

  42. Jaguar DescriptionPantheraonca • Largest, most powerful wildcat in the Western Hemisphere • Yellowish-brown with black spots, some white • Adult male: 4 to 7 feet long (excluding the tail)

  43. Lurking Predators • Humans! Humans are the main threat. Jaguars seldom attack these predators unless they’re cornered.

  44. Jaguar Habitat • Wet lowlands • Swampy savannas • Tropical rainforests

  45. Test Your Memory • 1) What is the occasional color of a Jaguar? • 2) Besides tropical rainforests, where do jaguars live? • 3) What is the focused, or main threat of jaguars?

  46. Application Question 13 • A) Orange • B) White • C) Tan-Brown

  47. ApplicationQuestion 14 • A) Wet lowlands, swampy savannas • B) Deserts • C) Appalachian Mountains

  48. ApplicationQuestion 15 • A) Humans • B) Mountain lions • C) Armadillo

  49. Correct!!!  • Congratulations! You are smart! Great job!

  50. Incorrect  • Aw, nice try! Even though jaguars are known for their black-and-orange spots, their spots are occasionally white.
