Adaptation

In the activity we did about adaptation last week we had to create a unique environment and then another group had to design all of the organisms and vice versa. We needed 3 producers, 2 primary consumers, and 1 secondary consumer. In my groups environment, we had purple sugar water, mountains, and a warm temperature. The group that made our organisms made blue cacti with pink flowers, a type of sponge in the water and blue underwater trees. They also made a bug that ate the flowers from the trees and a fish that ate the bugs. There was also a very colorful bird that ate the plants and fish. I would say that they made the animals very well adapted to our environment. They worked with our terrain and water to make plants and animals that fit into it. The photo below is the environment that the other group created for mine. 

We also created organisms for another groups environment. The environment that they created had chocolate milk for the water and sugar lakes and rivers. They also created a rock, mountainous terrain. Their atmosphere had helium in the air so everyone sounded like munchkins. Their temperature was a little bit warmer than our earth now. We decided that since their water was chocolate, all the plants would have to be chocolate related and in turn the animals would be too because they are eating and drinking chocolate. The producers we created were a chocolate chip trees, a type of grass that has chocolate inside and a chocolate rose. The primary consumers were a "chubby bunny" and a chocolate trout or "chrout". Our secondary consumer was a cocoa bear. I thought our animals and plants we created were very well adapted to the other groups environment. At first it was kind of hard because they were based around chocolate but we ended up having a great time! Below is a photo of the environment we created for the other group.
