Create a Creature

You are given a letter when you came into the room.

This number determines what biomes you can choose from.

Select one from the choices below:

A – TDF (Temperate Deciduous Forest) , Desert, Tundra

B – Tropical Rain Forest, Grasslands, Taiga

You must create a fictional creature that can live in this environment. This can’t be something that already exists.

Your create needs to have 5 different adaptations that help it to stay alive and thrive in the environment.

Examples of adaptations:

·         Body designs that help with eating and feeding
·         body designs that help prevent them from being eat, design that helps them to prey upon food
·         design that helps attract mates
·         design that helps them live in their particular environments – like to live in trees, or underground   design that helps them maintain their body heat ( helps to burrow, stay warm or stay cool)

First come up with the 5 or more adaptations that your creature will have. Draw your creature and label the 5+ adaptations of your creature.

Challenge: Create a plant to live in your environment. The plant must have 5 adaptations to help it survive.

Hint: Think about the plants that live in the Tundra and Taiga.
