Learning Targets: Adaptations and Extinction (LS-3E)
Know whether something is or isn’t an adaptation (understand the definition well enough to know if a given example meets
all the criteria of an adaptation). Know the three basic types of adaptations, and  be able to give examples of them.
Describe the specific survival advantages that specific adaptations give. Understand the relationship between adaptations
and limiting factors and/or reproductive success.  Understand the consequences facing populations that adapt to their
environments too slowly.  Be able to predict/justify which population in an ecosystem is most likely to go extinct given a
change to that environment.  Know the difference between features and traits.  Important Vocabulary: adaptation
(structural-, behavioral-, and functional- adaptations), extinction, feature, inherited, limiting factor, survival advantage, trait,
variation
