How does the environment influence the animals and plants living in a habitat?
Different habitats have different features. Different habitats support different organisms. Organise, sequence and link what they say so listeners can follow it. Use Falkland Island Habitat Photo file to show the different types of Habitats we have here in the Falkland Islands. Get the students to identify the main features of each habitat. The students could choose a habitat that they are interested in and see if they can find out about the species that live there. They can use the Falkland Island fact sheets to identify the species living in the habitat. The students could then identify any adaptations that the species have made in order to survive successfully in that habitat and then present their findings to the rest of the group. How do environments vary? Some animals are adapted to seasonal changes in their habitats. Adaptations may be to avoid climatic stress. Issues of migration can be highlighted by using Seasonal Changes Photo file to show some of the species that avoid the
