Forest Habitat covers a large area where many trees, plants and animals live. Deciduous Forest- cool rainy areas found in middle of Europe and Eastern half of North America. Animals must adjust to cold winters and hot summers. Ex: Black bear, Grey squirrel, Turkey, Rat snake Coniferous Forest largest type of habitat in the world. Wintry weather – makes life very difficult in these forests. Ex: Lynx, Moose, Squirrel, Loon, Hawk owl Rain Forest occurs in regions near the equator. The climate is very – warm with plenty of rainfall. Dessert Habitat dry conditions and a wide temperature range and very – little rainfall or precipitation. Hot and dry dessert near the Tropic of Cancer or Tropic of Capricorn – Cold desserts near the Arctic part of the world – Water Habitats are made up of fresh water like ponds or rivers and salt water. Grassland Habitat are big open spaces of grass. About ¼ of land on Earth is in grassland. Temperature grassland farther from the equator and have both cold – winters and hot summers. Tropical grassland closest to the equator and hot year-round. – Tundra Habitat are located at high altitudes and mountains around the world. The two major characteristics of tundra are Arctic tundra which is frozen most of the year and Alpine tundra. Stable Internal Conditions Organisms must be able to keep the conditions inside their bodies stable. The maintenance of stable internal conditions is homeostasis. Homeostasis keeps internal conditions just right for cells to functions. Independent Practice Students pair and read pages 308-309 to each other. Then, they write a summary and put on wall. Lastly, they answer questions on page 309 and pass in for points. Classwork/homework Go to Quizlet and work on vocabulary (learn, – flashcard, match, and test)
