Adaptations

In this lesson, we will be learning about adaptations. We will be looking at the conditions in different environments and the characteristics that animals have that help them to survive. We are then going to design our own creatures that are adapted to an environment! You will need a pencil and a piece of paper for this lesson.

In this lesson, we will learn the conditions that are present in desert environments. We will look at a range of adaptations in desert plants and animals. We will look specifically at cacti, camels, kangaroo rats and fennec foxes. For this lesson, you will need a piece of paper, a pencil, a ruler and you might want to use colouring pencils.

In this lesson, we will learn about the conditions present in the cold environments of the Arctic and Antarctica. We will learn how animals are adapted to live in these environments. We will make our own fact cards which can be used in a game. You will need a piece of paper, a pencil, a ruler and scissors for this lesson.

In this lesson, we will be learning about why some animals are nocturnal. We will also be learning about some of the adaptations that allow nocturnal animals to be so successful at night. You will need a piece of paper, a pencil and some colouring pencils for this lesson.

In this lesson, we will learn about the different adaptations that marine animals have that allow them to survive in underwater environments. We will look at how they are able to breathe, move and camouflage. You will need a piece of paper, a pencil and a ruler.

In this lesson, we will learn about the deep sea environment and the adaptations that organisms have evolved to survive there. We will also learn about deep sea conservation and create a poster to convince our schools to support this cause.
