Each person should make
his/her individual set of slides.
|

Before you begin
this assignment your
group needs to look at
the biomes section and
decide on which biomes
you will describe.
Choose one biome for
each person in the
group, for example, for
two people, choose two
biomes: three people,
choose three biomes:
four people, choose four
biomes.
In this unit a branch of
the algae family comes
out of the water onto
the land and develops
into true plants.
You will describe this
process and show how the
plants developed
structures for dealing
with the challenges of
the new and difficult
land environment.

Plants
Lay out the text of your
PowerPoint presentation something like
this
|
|
|
|
Slide
1
This title screen introduces the theme of your land plant development.
|
|
|
Slide
2
Show where
your algae came onto the
land. Mark each
environment where the first
proto-plants
will grow with a colored dot
on the map. |
|
Slide 3
Describe the alga that will
become the ancestors of all
your plants.
Describe the environment in
which it ventured onto the
land.
Show what it looked like
when it first came onto
land.
|
|
Slide 4
What adaptations does your proto-plant make?
What does it look like after a few million
years?
This plant will be the ancestor of the plants
that you develop for your different biomes.
|
|
Slide 5
Describe the biome to which some descendents of the ancestral
plant adapted.
|
 |
Slide 6
Show how your plant adapts and develops so that it
can live successfully in one of your biomes.
Tell how tall it is and how it reproduces. |
|
Slide 7
Describe your second biome and tell how your
plant adapts to it.
. |
|
|
Slide
8
Describe your next biome. Show how your plant adapts and evolves to live
successfully in this biome. |
|
Slide
9
Draw a diagram to show the family tree of
your land plants. |
Once you have your
text all laid out, select a background for your slides and add graphics as
appropriate. Attractive
appearance contributes to your
grade, as does demonstration of
understanding of the scientific
concepts involved. You may include additional material if you wish.
|
| Grading
will be for these qualities: |
| |
A
neat, complete,
attractive, good written introduction, links work, turned in on
time, good understanding of adaptation and environmental pressures. |
| |
B
complete, links
work, correct English, turned in no more than one week late. |
|
C problems: incomplete,
links don't work, turned in more than one week late. |
