Adaptations in Cold Environments: Plants, Animals, and Interdependence
Exploring how plants and animals have adapted to survive in cold environments like Antarctica and the Arctic, including insights on the tundra, permafrost, and unique adaptations like the Arctic Poppy. Learn about the challenges and strategies of organisms in extreme cold climates.

Learning intention: LI: How have the plants and animals adapted in the cold environments? 1. What is the coldest temperature recorded in Antarctica 2. What is the polar environment in the north of the world called 3. What does tundra mean in Finnish 4. What is permafrost? 5. Why is it colder in Antarctica in our summer?
Learning intention: LI: How have the plants and animals adapted in the cold environments? 1. What is the coldest temperature recorded in Antarctica -43.3 2. What is the polar environment in the north of the world called Arctic 3. What does tundra mean in Finnish Treeless 4. What is permafrost? Frozen ground 5. Why is it colder in Antarctica in our summer? Earth is tilting away from the sun.

Plant adaptations questions page 100-101 of the GCSE text book 1. Why do plants have shallow root systems? 2. What does tundra mean in Finnish ? why did they call it this? 3. Why do plants like mosses need to tolerate both extremely dry and wet conditions? 4. How has the Arctic Poppy adapted to deal with low insulation and little sunlight? 5. How have plants adapted to the strong winds?
Interdependence within cold environments Using figure 8.7 on page label on Primary producer Primary consumer Secondary consumer Tertiary consumer. Where were the polar bear go on the food web?? What are they an example of?
