Last week, we launched our study on the habitats of Georgia. We'll be learning about the mountains, Piedmont, swamps/marshes, coast, and Atlantic. Throughout our study, we'll explore the plants and animals found in each habitat and the adaptations necessary for survival. By Friday, everyone should post one interesting fact that you've learned in class, or discovered independently, about one of the Georgia habitats. Every student should also comment on at least one of your classmates' posts.

Habitats of Georgia
I learned that bears can live in the Piedmont and the mountains
ReplyDeleteDo you mean black bears?
DeleteMost black bears live in forests because they like to eat plants, especially berries and roots. They have to eat enough so they can go into hibernation in the winter.

ReplyDeleteBenji
Do you know what colors fiddler crabs are?
Deleteno I do not
DeleteBenji,
DeleteHave you ever seen a fiddler crab on the beach? Do you think humans have had an impact on the coastal habitats?
In the coastal habitat there are sand dunes caused by the wind and waves.
ReplyDeleteAlot of animals use to live in the coastal habitat. Now people go to the beach and the animals lost their homes.
DeleteJonah,
DeleteSand dunes play a very important role in the coastal habitat. They protect the plants' and animals' habitats from the salty water coming from the ocean and help prevent erosion. Do you know what erosion means?
The ghost crab digs holes to keep them out of the sun and cold.
ReplyDeleteDo they make them near the shore?
DeleteDo they bury near water?
DeleteMekhi,
DeleteDo you think the birds along the coast like to eat ghost crabs? Do you remember one special adaptation the coastal birds have gone through to help them live in this habitat?
The well drained soil lets lots of oaks and loblollys grow in the piedmont.
ReplyDeleteDo you know how many oaks it gives?
DeleteWhat are Loblollys?
DeleteNina
Bridget,
DeleteDo you think the soil in the Piedmont is very different from the soil found in coastal areas and swamp habitats? How?

DeleteThe crabs on Georgia beaches are red and blue. Emma Hash
ReplyDeleteCan you eat them?
DeleteNina
I think so.
DeleteEmma,
DeleteWhy do you think crabs have claws? Does it help them survive in the coastal habitats?
Swamps in Georgia are stuck with floods of water!.
ReplyDeleteI didn't know they had that much water!
DeleteBenji

When the fiddler crab's pincher falls off it grows bigger than before.
