Animal Adaptations: Structure and Function
While on their AdapTour, students will witness and identify adaptations of various organisms in their natural habitats, which will help them understand the relationship between the adaptations of an organism and the characteristics of their surrounding environment. Students will learn how every trait of an organism is an adaptation for survival or reproduction.
Students will:
• Understand what adaptation is and what role it plays in an organism’s interactions with its environment
• Differentiate between behavioral and physical adaptations
• Distinguish between adaptations for survival and reproduction
