5 Slide 5 / 87 Lab Set-up: The Germinator New plants grow from seeds. When seeds first begin to grow, it is called germination. Today, you will set up a lab that will allow you to watch the germination of two different types of seeds. Source: Wikimedia Commons. Author: U.S. Department of Agriculture.

6 Slide 6 / 87 Living or Nonliving? Sort these items into living and nonliving things. How do you know something is living? Living Nonliving

7 Slide 6 (Answer) / 87 Living or Nonliving? Sort these items into living and nonliving things. How do how they know this. Why is that you know something is living? Teacher Notes The students will probably know immediately what is living and nonliving. Guide them to question living/nonliving? Can they come up with characteristics that make something living? (Characteristics of Living Things: eat/use energy, grow, reproduce and interact with the environment.) [This object is a teacher notes pull tab] Living Nonliving

8 Slide 7 / 87 Living Things All living things have four things in common. Living things eat / use energy. Living things grow. Living things reproduce. Living things interact with the environment. Can you think of a way that humans do all of these things?

29 Slide 23 / 87 Sea Turtles Every year, female sea turtles climb out of the water to lay eggs. After digging a hole, she lays up to 100 eggs at a time and covers them with sand. Then, she returns to the ocean. This female turtle is digging a hole to lay her eggs. Source: Wikimedia Commons. Author: Shawn.

33 Slide 27 / 87 Offspring Survival All animals face similar challenges. In order for offspring to grow into adults, they must survive various dangers. Animal parents have many different methods for helping offspring to survive. This python wraps her coils around her eggs. She keeps them warm and protects them until they are born.

36 Slide 30 / 87 Eggs For animals that lay eggs, producing the egg is a form of protection for the developing animal, called an embryo. Think about eggs that you eat at home. How many different parts of an egg are there?

37 Slide 31 / 87 Egg Nutrition All eggs provide food for the growing embryo. The food is called the yolk. This is the yellow part of an egg. The liquid surrounding the yolk and embryo has additional nutrients. The embryo can use these nutrients as food as well. This is the white part of an egg. Embryo Yolk Liquid

38 Slide 32 / 87 Egg Protection The hard outside of the egg is called the shell. There is also a flexible membrane inside of the shell. Both the shell and the membrane protect the egg from breaking before the embryo is ready to hatch. Yolk Embryo Shell Liquid Membrane

39 Slide 33 / 87 Egg Protection Try this! Take an egg. Drop it onto a covered surface from a height of one foot. What happens? Now, take an egg. Drop it from the same height into a container of water. What hapens? The eggs were dropped from the same height. Why do they look different? Write your ideas below.

41 Slide 34 / 87 Egg Protection The egg dropped into water showed less damage than the egg dropped onto the hard surface. The water protected the egg. Source: Wikimedia Commons. Author: Volpi. The same idea works inside of an egg. We already mentioned that the liquid in the egg provides nutrition to the embryo. The liquid plays another role as well. It protects the embryo by acting as a shock absorber.

42 Slide 35 / 87 Eggs Most eggs must be kept warm in order for the embryo to survive. Many animals work hard to make sure this happens. It is called incubation. This penguin sits on top of the egg to keep it warm. Source: Wikimedia Commons. Author: Quinn.

43 Slide 36 / 87 Not All Animals Lay Eggs Not all animals lay eggs. Some offspring develop inside of the mother's body. How are these offspring protected until they are born?

51 Slide 41 / 87 Nests & Dens Think about your house. How does it protect you? Animal nests and dens are similar to a house.

52 Slide 42 / 87 Nests & Dens Animals build nests and dens to protect offspring. Nests and dens provide a safe place for offspring to live. Click here to watch a video about animal homes. This animal has built a den in the side of this hill. Source: Wikimedia Commons. Author: Sauerwein.

53 Slide 43 / 87 Nests & Dens There are many different types of nests and dens. Source: Wikimedia Commons. Author: Hian-kun. Paradise fish are hatching from this bubble nest. Source: Wikimedia Commons. Author: Brew. This termite mound is five meters high.

54 Slide 44 / 87 Nests & Dens Birds are well known for building nests to protect their offspring. Some birds build nests out of materials that they find. Others build nests in the ground or in available holes in trees. Source: Wikimedia Commons. Author: Trepte. Source: Wikimedia Commons. Author: Rae. Source: Wikimedia Commons. Author: Bruce.

56 Slide 45 (Answer) / 87 Case Study: Weaver Bird The weaver bird builds extensive nests by weaving grass blades together. Click here to watch a video about weaver bird nests. Answer The way that grass is woven together makes the nest strong. The opening is only big enough for the bird to get through. This keeps out other animals.

57 Slide 46 / 87 Parental Care Some animals, like the sea turtle, lay their eggs and then leave. They never see their offspring. This sea turtle is returning to the sea after coming onto the beach to lay her eggs. The offspring are left to fend for themselves. Source: Wikimedia Commons. Author: Aveling.

58 Slide 47 / 87 Parental Care Some animals guard their eggs and take care of the offspring after they hatch or are born. These animals show parental care. Humans protect their embryos for 9 months and then take care of their offspring for many years. Source: Wikimedia Commons. Author: Hammond.

61 Slide 50 / 87 Parental Care: Birds Birds are well known for providing parental care to offspring. The rock sparrow, shown below, is an example of this. The female builds the nest and incubates the eggs. After hatching, both parents feed the birds and protect them from danger. They teach their chicks how to fly.

72 Slide 56 / 87 Offspring Behaviors In many animals, the parents work hard to make sure their offspring survive. In some cases, the offspring themselves have behaviors that help them to survive. Think about a human baby. How does a baby alert the parents when it is hungry, scared or needs help? Source: Wikimedia Commons. Author: Melimama.

73 Slide 57 / 87 Crying When human babies cry, it lets the parents know that something is wrong. This is a type of offspring behavior. Crying helps the baby to survive by alerting the parents to a problem. Think about other animals. Can you think of any other examples of offspring behaviors that help the offspring to survive?

74 Slide 58 / 87 Crying Many other baby animals will make noises that alert the parents to a problem. Source: Wikimedia Commons. Author: Catholic 85. Baby alligators also make noises to alert the mom. When they are ready to hatch out of their eggs, they start to make noises. The mom hears this and uses her jaws to gently help the babies to break out of the eggs. How does this behavior help the offspring to survive?

78 Slide 60 / 87 Instincts Remember that not all animals have parents who take care of them. Some animals hatch from eggs and never see their parents. These animals have strong instincts. An instinct is something that you know without ever being taught it. When sea turtles hatch from their eggs, they have strong instincts to survive. They know that they need to crawl over the sand and get to the ocean. This is an instinct. They were born knowing it. Source: Wikimedia Commons. Author: U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.
