Module 2 Science Survival

QuestionAnswer
How long have butterflies survived on Earth? Butterflies have survived on Earth for millions of years
What can we learn by studying fossils? Fossils provide information about the organisms that formed them. Fossils can reveal information about the organisms that formed them, such as the organism’s size and body shape.
What are paleontologists? Paleontologists are scientists who study fossils.
What can fossils reveal about our region? Fossils can provide evidence of changes in an environment over time.
What can fossil evidence tell us? Fossils provide evidence about the kinds of organisms that once lived and what their environments were like. Some environments looked very different in the past from the way they look now.
Can the kinds of organisms that live in an area change? Explain how. The kinds of organisms that live in an area can change over time. Sometimes organisms live in new areas, and sometimes they no longer live anywhere on Earth.
Why do plants and animals live where they do? Suitability:Organisms are suited to survive in particular environments because of their characteristics.
What is a habitat? A habitat contains everything a particular kind of organism needs to survive. Environments include multiple interconnected habitats.
What are characteristics? The parts that humans have to help them get what they need to survive, such as their mouths and noses. We learn these parts are called characteristics, or the observable parts of an organism.
Why is an organism suited to a certain environment? An organism is suited to an environment if its characteristics allow it to survive there and an environment is suitable for an organism if the environment meets all the organism’s needs.
Explain how some kinds of organisms can or cannot survive in a particular environment. For any particular environment, some kinds of organisms can survive well, some can survive less well, and some cannot survive at all.
Why do some animals live in groups? Patterns in behavior reveal that living in groups helps animals survive.
What are some examples of what animals in groups do to survive? (3 examples) Some animals live in groups that help members survive. Living in groups can help animals get food and defend themselves and cope with change.
How do organisms survive seasonal changes? Seasonal changes affect the suitability of organisms to their environment, which may cause some organisms to survive less well than others.
What is migration? The movement of animals from one region or environment to another, usually according to the seasons.
Where do monarch butterflies go in the spring and fall? Butterflies start to move north in the spring and they start to move back south in the fall.
How do monarchs survive winter? They migrate to survive winter.
How do different kinds of butterflied survive the winter? Different kinds of butterflies spend the winter in different stages and can survive seasonal changes better in different life cycle stages.
What are the effects of environmental change on an organism? When the conditions of an environment change, some of the animals that live there stay and survive, some move away, and some die.
What are the effects of environmental change on plants? When the conditions of an environment change, some of the plants die.
How do long-term changes in an environment affect the organisms that live there? When an environment experiences a long-term change, some organisms will stay and survive, some will move away, some will die, and other organisms will move to the changed environment.
What are ways a forest environment could change? Some changes are caused by humans, some are caused by weather.
Can new organisms move to the changed environment? New organisms may also move to the changed environment.
How can we help monarchs survive in a changing environment? Humans can change an environment to make it more suitable for an organism.
