Plants and Habitats

Jessica – Snakes everywhere suck up the sun and that is how they get their body warm.

Emma – I learned that camels store water in their humps because there is not a lot of water in the desert.

Dante – In a VS book I learned that a kind of cobra has venom in its teeth for when it bites an animal.  The venom makes the animal dizzy, loses its eye sight and gets it off balance.

Kaelan – When I was reading a habitat book I learned that cinnamon is from tree bark.

Taylor – I learned that sunfish lay 300 billion eggs at a time.

Dylan – The twilight zone is 200 meters to a 100 meters down in the ocean.

Sofia – The bamboo tree is hollow when it is old and that it spreads it roots so other trees do not plant near it.

Heidi – I learned that the pitcher plant, when a bug goes inside it, it has sharp hairs that make the bug trapped.

Tyson – I learned that plants can make medicine.

Jolene – I learned that flowers and plants can make perfume.

Tristan – I learned that komodo dragons have over 100 teeth and they are meant for fighting with and eating.

Addy – I learned that venus fly traps eat bugs because sunlight and soil does not have enough nutrients so they have to eat other insects to get their vitamins and they can even eat frogs.

Jessica – I learned that the sensitive plant, when someone touches it the leaves slowly go down and then it folds up.  It can die if you touch it too many times.

Matthew – In the ocean hawk fish are red so they can blend in and predators can’t see it.  When it blends in it is called camouflage.

Brooke – I learned that in the ocean there is a box jelly fish and it has 60 tentacles and each has 5 thousand stingers and they use it to kill their food or their prey.

Kaelan – I learned that food and plants can also make medicine.

Dante – I learned that a toucan uses its beck to open up or peel its food.

Sydney – I learned that some hats are made from plants.

Salina – I learned that after a venus fly trap eats its prey, it oozes out goo that is deadly. 

Jonathon – I leaned that a rattle snake has to catch its prey at night because it is way too hot during the day in the desert.

Taylor – I learned that a chameleon changes colour to camouflage so prey can’t catch it.

Kaelan – A polar bear has blubber under its fur to keep it warm.

Jolene – Plants and flowers can also make furniture.

Dante – A giraffe has a long neck to reach really tall trees to eat its food.  His neck is his adaptation.

Jessica – A plant in the rainforest has petals that are thick so an animal can’t eat it and in the centre it smells like rotting meat so an animal doesn’t eat it.

Stacy – I learned that in a VS book that a scorpion’s babies are called scorplings.
