Interdependency • What does interdependent mean? • When plants and animals depend on one another and the land for survival.

Interdependency • What are some example of how plants and animals depend on each other? (Turn and Talk) • Did you say? – Animals eat plants – Plants give us oxygen – Plants use soil to grow • • Review video: Food Chains https: //www. youtube. com/watch? v=pas. B 5 Fxh.

Volcanoes An eruption happens when hot magma reaches the surface • Destroy the animals that don’t flee • Destroys the plants • Volcano i movie https: //www. youtube. com/watch? v=Vqt. L 436 KKd. I • Are they helpful? – They can form islands (HAWAII) – They leave very rich soil

Earthquakes • Earthquakes mostly damage homes and buildings

Earthquakes • Can also damage animals and plants! • Downed power lines can injury animals. • Fallen trees can crush animal homes.

Fires • How do fires impact plants and animals?

Fires • Damage environment and land by destroying animals homes and plant life • Animals can be killed and forced to move. Can fire be helpful? • Dead land can be burned down and healthier growth returns

Floods • People, animals and homes are destroyed by floods • Animals can often survive

Erosion • Natural event caused by wind or water • Removes the soil in an area • Plants need this soil to live

Disease • Animals and plants can get sick just like us! • What would happen if a certain type of animal got sick? • Impacts the food chain!

Pollution • Pollution can also destroy land water. • Water pollution impacts animals, plants and us! • Thank about the food chain!

Water Pollution Can you name each type of water pollution?

Conservation

Conservation • How can we preserve the earth and natural resources? • • Reduce, reuse, recycle Resource renewal Species Monitoring Habitat Monitoring

Resource Renewal • When species of plants and animals are protected • You can help renew the resource. • For example if a plant is endangered, you grow the seeds in an indoor, protected environment and then return them outside.

Species Monitoring • When you monitor or watch over a group of animals (a species) • Scientists may count or track the species to see if the population is growing. • How can this practice help hedgehogs? • https: //www. youtube. com/watch? v=y 0 se. TADKBw. Q

Habitat Management • Protects habitats of plants and animals • For example people build national parks where people can not hunt, build or collect plants and animals.

National Parks

Reduce • How can we reduce our use of natural resources? • What can we reduce ways we use water? • Make a web on your white board!

Reduce Did you say? • Turn off faucets • Don’t let water run while brushing your teeth. • Take shorter showers • Wash only full loads in your washing machine • Water your yard early in the morning to prevent evaporation
