The Hummingbird moth is mostly active at night. They are attracted to a strong, sweet odor. Like hummingbirds, they can remain suspended in the air in front of the flower. They can unfold their tongues to reach into several types ot flowers.

Given this information, in three to five sentences (for a 3rd grader), answer the following questions:

• What is one feature of a flower that is trying to attract the Hummingbird moth as a pollinator?
• Considering the information above and what your knowledge from this lesson, would flowers be more reproductively successful if they adapted to more than just the needs of one pollinator, such as the Hummingbird moth? Explain your answer.

One feature of a flower trying to attract the Hummingbird moth is a strong, sweet odor. Flowers would be more reproductively successful if they adapted to more than just the needs of one pollinator like the Hummingbird moth because having multiple pollinators increases the chances of the flower being pollinated. This means more flowers can make seeds and reproduce, helping the plant to grow and spread. Having different pollinators can also protect the plant in case one type of pollinator becomes less common.

Cheetah mothers perform a number of different behaviors. They and their cubs stay in one place for only four days, moving on before they leave too strong a smell behind in one area. They also expend time and energy teaching their cubs to hunt successfully. In one or two sentences (for a 3rd grader), explain how these behaviors affect cheetah reproductive success. (2 points)

Cheetah mothers' behaviors help them and their cubs avoid predators by moving frequently to new areas and teaching their cubs how to hunt, which increases the chances of their cubs surviving and the mother being able to have more babies in the future.
