Global Warming and Earth Processes - This site provides movies that explain global warming, the water cycle, and the carbon cycle. After you watch each movie, you can take a quiz to test your knowledge of global warming and earth processes. This site is ideal for grades 3-8.
Animal Adaptations - All animals live in habitats. Habitats provide food, water, and shelter which animals need to survive, but there is more to survival than just the habitat. Animals also depend on their physical features to help them obtain food, keep safe, build homes, withstand weather, and attract mates. On this site, learn about how an animal's physical features, called physical adaptations, develop over many generations to help the animal survive in its habitat.
Animal Defense - Many animals have developed remarkable defenses to keep from being eaten.For example, some animals use chemicals which they spray from various parts of their bodies to deter predators. A few animals rely on trickery and copy the defenses of other animals to protect themselves. In this activity, you can sample various Internet sites and complete the activities for each one to learn more about the adaptations that animals have made to protect themselves.
Chain Reaction - This interactive site teaches you about the food chain and allows you to try your hand and creating your own food chain.
Biomes of the World – Visit each biome and learn about the plants and animals that inhabit each biome. Students can also learn about Freshwater Ecosystems and Marine Ecosystems.

Two very interesting facts that I learned were that grasslands have many animals living in them including Zebras and Bison and that Pumas can be found in North, South, and Central America.
ReplyDeleteThe liks I went to were 'Biomes of the World' and 'Animal Addaptions'.
I learned that some of the causes of greenhouse gases is cutting down tress.
ReplyDeleteI really liked the link with the biomes. Two things I learned are two types of rainforests temperate and tropical.

I learned that animals need special adaptation to protect themselves from predators.
ReplyDeleteI think Biomes of the World is best because you don't have to read much. Josh
ReplyDeleteThe humans population is growing so we need a place to settel in. When we clear the homes of animals they need to find another place to live. So when you try to help the animals, think and stop the people from cutting down the trees.Cutting the trees will not help with the global warming. So before you cut down a tree or build a house think of the animals.
ReplyDeleteResons why we should take care of the earth
