    Unit 6A: Interdependence and Adaptation

    Uploaded by

    priyaspv
    This document covers a unit on interdependence and adaptation among plants and animals. It discusses how plants and animals rely on each other in food chains and ecosystems. Plants need sunlight, air, water, and nutrients to grow. They take in water and nutrients through their roots and sunlight through their leaves. Animals obtain nutrients by eating plants or other animals. Different plants and animals are suited to different habitats and environments. Soil type also affects what plants can grow where.

    Unit 6A: Soils

    Different soils are really important for the type of plants that can be grown in them.

    You have 2 soil samples to look at.


    Using a hand lense or a magnifying glass record as many things as you can about the soil.
    Observation Colour Pieces of rock Soil sample 1 Soil sample 2

    Water
    Stickiness Bits of plant/animals
    Unit 6A: L.O. 14,15

    Unit 6A: What are the soils good for?

    Now you have studied both soils, what do you think each would be good for?
    Things you will need to consider are:

    Would water be able to drain out of the soil?


    Do you think it would be a good environment for plants/animals to live?

    You need to explain each of your answers in as much detail as possible.
