This Month In Science #7

This month in science we did a project called zoology of the future. In this project we had to get in groups of four to create our fantasy animal. while creating our fantasy animal first we created a power point which included: where it lives, the climate, vegetation, the land form etc... Also in this project we had to pick animals that live in the hot and cold dessert and it had to adapt to its new climate. Doing this project took us like about 3weeks to do. 


What I learned was that in the Hot and Cold that the plants of the dry dessert had adapted to the lack of water by using dew for moisture and taking in water through their leaves and stems. I also learned that the desserts take up to 8.6 million square miles ( 22 million square kilometers ) of earth's surface. I also learned that dunes are not only found in hot desserts but it could be found in dry desserts too. But also the dunes are made up of winds causing the sand to pile up.
