The lesson ties into the concepts of survival and extinction of multicellular organisms from the previous lessons. R: Students rethink how organisms respond to the environment as they design an experiment on one of the pond water microorganisms from the previous lesson. E: Students express their understanding on the worksheet, in class discussion, and in groups as they work to design an experiment.
Itâs too late to attract a western hummer this winter, but perhaps youâd like to try next fall. According to Weidensaul, in addition to keeping hummingbird feeders up well into autumn, many successful hummingbird hosts have late-blooming fall plants.
Male ruby-throated hummingbirds do not help to raise their chicks. After the male and female copulate, the female raises the chicks alone. She builds the nest, lays the eggs, incubates them, broods the chicks and feeds them until they are 22 to 25 days old. The male does not provide any parental care.
