  1. Access Prior Knowledge Lesson 2: How do Species change? Opening Activity Open Science textbook to page 170. Open Science Workbook to page 56A to check home learning. Open Science folder to review vocabulary words and outline for the chapter. Open Science journal and answer the following questions: 1. What are some things that can change an ecosystem? Review Content Cards and Q-Cards in bin, sharing with partners quizzing each other

  2. Do you agree with the statement? 1 Every animal inherits the same mix of genes from its parents. Yes No

  3. Do you agree with the statement? 2 The environment does not affect a species’s appearance. Yes No

  4. Do you agree with the statement? 3 A hummingbird’s long beak is a structural adaptation. Yes No

  5. Do you agree with the statement? 4 Adaptations to an environment can help a species live longer. Yes No

  6. Inheriting DNA Traits Not Inherited Plants and animals inherit half of 
their genes or DNA from each parent, 
which decides almost everything 
about how an organism grows. Every animal is different since we 
get a mix of genes, but are similar 
because they have two eyes and one 
nose, ect. The environment also plays a 
role with certain traits in animals, 
like the snowshoe hares fur turns 
white in the winter so that it can 
hide better in the snow. First paragraph pg. 170 Second paragraph pg. 171

  7. Adaptations A change in an organism’s genes that can be passed from parent to 
offspring is called mutation, which can be helpful, harmful or neither. Organisms with adaptations to compete for limited resources may survive 
and pass their genes to their offspring. Structural Adaptations Behavioral Adaptations Structural adaptations are changed 
body parts that help an organism live in 
its environment. A bird’s beak might be of different 
shapes depending on what food it needs 
to get. A male lion’s mane makes him look 
bigger and protects his neck. Behavioral adaptations are 
inherited behaviors that help 
animals survive. Bees and ants are born with 
instincts that help them work 
together in their habitat. Lions do not know how to hunt 
when they are born, but the 
parents teach the cub how to hunt 
and find food to survive, making it 
a learned behavior. First paragraph pg. 172 Third paragraph pg. 172 First paragraph pg. 173

  8. MatchQuest Behavioral Adaptations Structural Adaptations suction cups on frogs toes lion hunting humming birds long beak Behaviors humming birds nest

  9. TextQuest Answer questions in your Science Journal. 1. How many genes do offspring get from each parent? 2. Give an example of structural adaptation. 3. Give an example of behavioral adapation. 4. How can the environment affect the appearance of an 
organism? Don't forget to write your 
home learning in your 
agenda page 57A.
