HABITATS/ENVIRONMENT

The New Zoo

Eagle City should build a new zoo downtown.Proposal

PurposeTo debate whether to build a zoo in a city’s busy downtown area

BackgroundAn organism’s environment, or habitat, is the place where it lives. In order to survive, an organism must be able to meet all of its needs in its habitat. It must be able to find or make food. It must have access to water. It must have space to move and grow, and it must be able to reproduce. Different organisms have adaptations that help them meet their needs in a particular habitat. For example, a polar bear’s thick fur keeps it warm in the arctic environment. Its sharp claws help it dig through ice and catch fish or seals to eat.

People keep live animals in zoos for education and entertainment. The zoo becomes the animals’ habitat. Because zoos keep animals from all over the world, the people who build and run the zoos must provide many different habitats to meet the needs of the different animals.

SituationEagle City is located in a hot, dry climate. The overall community is large, but its downtown area is small. It has a park, a bike path, many buildings, businesses, and a few apartments. Eagle City has received a large sum of money from a wealthy citizen. The money must be used to bring a family-friendly activity to the city.

Mayor Progress would like to use the money to build a zoo downtown. He believes a zoo would make Eagle City a better place to live. The city council is holding a meeting to discuss the proposal. Residents will voice their opinions on whether building the downtown zoo would be the best improvement to Eagle City. Then the city council will vote and make a decision.

Aquarist

An aquarist preparing fish for a display

Aquarists feed and care for marine animals.

Would you like to work with seahorses or octopuses? Aquarists design

habitats that keep water-dwelling creatures healthy.

One of the most important parts of an aquarist’s job is maintaining proper water quality. Many sea creatures have special water requirements, such as temperature and the amounts of gases in the water. Aquarists also need to provide the right amounts and types of food and other nutrition to keep the animals well nourished.

Aquarists work in a variety of places, from pet stores to public aquariums. Wherever they work, they consider how to best display the animals.

Aquarists who work in large public aquariums go to college. They need to know a lot about science and often take classes in marine biology and chemistry. Aquarists who work in stores may go to college, or they may learn their trade by working with someone who already knows how to maintain aquariums. Either way, aquarists know a lot about underwater life!

Deserts, rainforests, and grasslands are three kinds of habitats.

A habitat restoration specialist testing the water in an aquatic habitat

Habitats are the homes of living things, including both plants and animals. Some

examples of habitats are rainforests, deserts, and grasslands. Sometimes habitats get damaged or destroyed. Habitats can be destroyed by powerful storms or by people when they are making room to build houses or roads.

Habitat restoration specialists work to restore damaged habitats. They spend a lot of time researching and taking notes. They count animals, take water and soil samples, and study migration patterns. With this information, they create plans to return a habitat to a healthy state. Plans may include reintroducing an animal to a certain area or cleaning up pollution in a stream.

Habitat restoration specialists go to college to study science, especially ecology and biology. Most have experience working with wildlife.

People enjoying a walk through a garden created by a landscape architect

Have you ever admired an especially beautiful park or public garden? Landscape architects are the creative minds behind them. They design outdoor areas, sometimes called urban habitats, such as parks, gardens, highway medians, and golf courses.

First, landscape architects sketch out the area and use a computer to create a blueprint of the landscape plan. The plan might include deciding where a walking path

will be placed, the types and number of trees that will be planted, and the location of flowerbeds. Then they oversee construction of the plan. Construction involves many people. Landscape architects

must be able to work as members of a team.

Landscape architects usually go to college for four years. After college, they may work as apprentices before designing their own landscape plans.

A little mollusk is causing big problems in the Great Lakes. It is showing us the harm that can be done by invasive species. These species take over an area and upset the ecology.

In 1988, zebra mussels hitched a ride on a ship from Europe to the Great Lakes region. Less than ten years later, zebra mussels lived in all five Great Lakes and four river basins.

Zebra mussels spread fast because they can live in many water environments. Also, a female may lay one million eggs each year. Adult mussels attach to hard objects, including clams, plants, and pipes. Zebra mussels also attach to each other, forming dense groups. One group plugged up a town’s water pipes for three days.


FOOD CHAINS

Invasion of the Zebra Mussels

The mussels eat by straining tiny animals from water. Because of how they eat, parts of Lake Erie are now five times clearer than they used to be. That may sound good. But the tiny animals eaten by zebra mussels are also food for other animals. The other animals are now dying off.

Zebra mussels are an example of one little invasive species that upset a whole ecosystem. Are there invasive species in your area?

WATER

Water PollutionWater pollution comes from many

sources. Air pollutants from factories and motor vehicles mix with falling rain. This mixing creates a weak acid. The acid can harm plants and animals. It can damage buildings and statues, too.

Industries can cause water pollution. Some create dangerous chemical waste. This waste might be dumped into lakes, rivers, or other surface water. It might also be buried in the ground. Then it can seep into groundwater.

Here are three other ways that water can become polluted:

1. Ships carrying oil may have accidents and spill oil into the ocean. Oil is hard to clean up. It coats the fur and feathers of wild mammals and birds. It also covers rocks and sand when it reaches the shore.

2. Farmers use fertilizer and pesticides to help their crops grow. Some of these chemicals run off the land when it rains. They enter lakes and rivers. Algae that live in water take in the fertilizer. They grow better, too. Lakes can become choked with large amounts of algae. When the algae die, they decompose. This process uses up oxygen from the water. Animals living in the water then die from a lack of oxygen.

3. Human and other animal wastes get into water. They carry disease and pollute the water.

Scientists around the world are looking for ways to prevent water pollution.

MATH: Multiplying Fractions

Directions:

1) Find and locate two pencils, a piece of paper, and a deck of cards. If you cannot find a

deck of cards, that is okay. I will explain how to modify the activity below.

2) Draw four cards from the deck and arrange them like the picture below in order to

create two fractions. If one of your cards is an ace, it will equal 1. If you drew a

joker, it will equal 10. If you drew a queen, it will equal 11. If you drew a king, it will

equal 12.

NOTE: If you do not have a deck of cards, you can simply create your own

fractions to multiply on paper.

3) Review how to multiply fractions below:

a. Multiply the two numerators on the top (in the picture you would multiply 8

x 6 = 48).

b. Multiply the two denominators on the bottom (in the picture you would

multiply 9 x 8 = 72).

c. Simplify the new fraction by using the highest number that will divide into

each number evenly.

24 will go into 48 twice.

24 will go into 72 three times.

The simplified fraction is now → 2

3

4) Use your paper to multiply the fractions you created using your cards.

5) Repeat the activity with new cards 10 or more times.

CHALLENGE ACTIVITY- Draw two cards for the top of each fraction and two

cards for the bottom of each fraction to create double or triple digit

numerators and denominators (e.g. one queen and one 8 would equal 118). Follow

the same directions as stated above to solve the more complex problems.
