Welcome to the World of Structural Adaptations!
Have you ever wondered why an Echidna needs its spikes, or why a Chameleon blends into its surroundings? Here we explore different animals and the way their physical features have evolved to help them survive in their environment!
Learning intention:
Students will identify and describe structural adaptations in animals, whilst explaining how these features help each animal survive in their environment. We are learning how to represent and communicate our observations and discoveries through scientific and visual representations.
Key focus areas:
Survival mechanisms - How these adaptations protect animals, aiding their survival and reproduction.
Structural adaptations - The identifiable physical features that enhance survival.
Success criteria:
From this resource, students will be able to -
Identify specific structural adaptations in different animals.
Describe how these structural adaptations help animals survive.
Participate in structural adaptation quizzes, create a poster, and conduct further research.
Give and receive peer feedback.
Outcomes:
Knowledge and understanding:
ST2-4LW-S -Compares features and characteristics of living and non-living things.
Working scientifically:
ST2-1WS-S - Questions, plans and conducts scientific investigations, collects and summarises data, and communicates using scientific representations.
Design and Production:
ST2-2DP-T - Selects and uses materials, tools, and equipment to develop solutions for a need or opportunity.
Living world:
ST2-4LW-S - Compares features and characteristics of living and non-living things.
