SCIENCE
Amazing Adaptations! πŸΎπŸŒΏ

Let's explore the incredible ways that animals and plants have adapted to survive in their environments!

Your Mission:

  1. Choose an animal or plant that lives in a unique or challenging habitat (e.g., a camel in the desert, a cactus in the desert, a polar bear in the Arctic, a Venus flytrap in a bog).

  2. Research its adaptations: How has it evolved to survive in its environment? What special features or behaviours help it thrive?

  3. Create a presentation, poster, or model showcasing your chosen organism and its adaptations.

  4. Discuss the importance of adaptation for the survival of species.

Bonus Challenges:

  • Compare and contrast the adaptations of different organisms living in the same habitat.
