Redwood National and State Parks - 2nd Grade - Adaptations Lesson 2 of 2. Oceans

The video explores the unique adaptations of Redwood trees and their reliance on fog for water. It discusses the vast biodiversity of ocean habitats and the potential for undiscovered species. The video also covers the migration patterns and adaptations of whales, such as their ability to hold their breath and travel long distances. Finally, it highlights human adaptations to various environments, including cities and oceans, and challenges viewers to think about habitats and adaptations.

Why do Redwood trees grow only on the Northern California coastline?

• They are planted by humans.

• They need the salty ocean water.

• They require the fog created by the ocean.

• They thrive in desert climates.

What is an adaptation?

• A change in weather patterns.

• A structure or behavior that helps an organism survive.

• A type of food that animals eat.

• A place where animals migrate.

How many species are estimated to live in the oceans?

• 230,000

• Up to 2,000,000

• 1,000,000

• 500,000

What is the longest migration route of any animal on Earth?

• The journey of monarch butterflies.

• The migration of gray whales.

• The trek of African elephants.

• The flight of Arctic terns.

How do gray whales manage to sleep while migrating?

• They stop and rest on islands.

• They sleep with both eyes closed.

• They sleep with one eye open.

• They do not sleep during migration.

What allows whales to dive deeper in the ocean?

• Their ability to hold their breath for 15 to 30 minutes.

• Their diet of small fish.

• Their lightweight bodies.

• Their ability to swim fast.

In what ways have humans adapted to live in different habitats?

• By hibernating during winter.

• By living on boats and consuming ocean resources.
