Daily TAKS Connection:Plant Adaptations Objective 3 BIO (13): The student knows the significance of plants in the environment. (A): evaluate the significance of structural and physiological adaptations of plants to their environments
Construct a foldable Materials: Foldable handout Scissors Pen Colored pencils/crayons Instructions: Fold the matchbook template along the dashed line Cut along the solid lines Foldable Activity
Foldable activity Label the Cross Section of the Leaf as Follows: T- Stomata (gas exchange) O2 CO2 Q - Cuticle (waxy coating on leaf that prevents water loss). Thick in dry/arid environments. S- Upper Epidermis (lots of chloroplasts are here for the absorption of sunlight to undergo photosynthesis
Foldable Activity There are four pictures of various plant adaptations on the inside of your foldable. • Circle an adaptation you identify within each picture. • Within each cut square indicate what advantage each adaptation may possess
Adaptation: • Stomata are located on the upper side of the leaf. • Possible Purpose: • Water Plants (allows for gas exchange) Plant Adaptation Notes • Adaptation: • Broad Leaf Surface for more absorption of sunlight • Possible Purpose: • Plants in low light environment
Plant Adaptation Notes Adaption: Spines on Plant Possible Purpose: Plant Protection
Plant Adaptation Notes Adaption: Pneumatophores Possible Purpose: Mangrove plants or plants which live in waterlogged soils. This structure allows for gas oxygen absorption for cellular respiration in plants
Plant Adaptation Notes Adaption: Seed with wing-like structures Possible Purpose: Wind dispersal of seed
Plant Adaptation Notes Adaption: Long tap root Possible Purpose: Roots can go great distances to reach water
Plant Adaptation Notes Adaption: Several small seeds in sweet fruit Possible Purpose: Greater possibility of dispersal and possibility to be eaten by other organisms
Plant Adaptation Sort • Use the cards to match the correct plant adaptation with its biome.
