Summative Task

WWA - Summative Task

Examples of adapted birds created by students Creative Creatures Create a new species of animal to meet the needs of a specific environment (decide what kind of environment your animal/creature will live in). You will need to give careful consideration to adaptations that ensure its basic needs of food, water, shelter, air, and predation are met (be sure to provide at least 3). Then either Design and create a diorama, which includes a small model of your animal, demonstrating the type environment it lives in. Include with the diorama a written report/description of the living creature/new species, the creature’s environment, its lifestyle (what it eats etc) and explain how the structural features of the animal have helped it adapt to its environment and survive. You will also need to explain something the living thing does that helps it survive. (Eg. - We’ve learned that deserts can be hot and dry. Because it lives in the desert, my pigurtle has adapted to the hot, dry climate by sleeping during the day and coming out only at night when it is cooler. It does this to help it survive. )         Your report should contain coloured illustrations of the creature with the structural adaptations labeled.         Don't forget to provide a name for your creature and a brief rationale for the name too. Or          2. Create a 3D model of your new creature/species which clearly shows the structural            features/adaptations which allow it to survive in its environment.                  Include with your model the following:  (You may choose how you wish to display this information although a report                                                                                          is something you have already had practice with and would be an                                                                                          acceptable form) a map showing the location of the new species/creature, details about the climate, and the challenges of this habitat description/explanation of the living creature/new species, the creature’s environment, its lifestyle (what it eats etc)and how the structural features of the animal have helped it adapt to its environment and survive. explanation of behavioural adaptations (something the living thing does) that helps it to survive. (Eg. - we’ve learned that deserts can be hot and dry. Because it lives in the desert, my pigurtle has adapted to the hot, dry climate by sleeping during the day and coming out only at night when it is cooler. It does this to help it survive. ) a name for your creature along with a brief rationale for the name. Things to consider: Predators , prey, and symbiotic relationships What animals can you name that live in your habitat? What structures does this animal have on its body that help it to move? How does this animal escape from predators? Does this animal hunt for its food? What structures help it to catch or eat its food? Can you think of another structure that could help this animal be a better hunter, or help it to protect itself better? Creative Creature adaptations marking rubric
