This document discusses adaptations and how organisms are adapted to survive in their environments. It explains that adaptations are special features that help organisms survive, and provides examples of organisms and their adaptations. The document prompts the reader to think about the adaptations of organisms in pictures and answer questions about how they are adapted to their habitats.

1. Adaptations
Target
To know how animals are adapted
to survive.

2. Adaptations
Organisms need to have special features which help
them to survive in their habitat.
These special features are called ADAPTATIONS.

7. Both of the animals on this page have very similar habitats.
However, their adaptations are quite different

8. Adaptations

9. The scientists want you to help them describe where
this animal lives (land,water or air), what it eats, how it
eats, how it breathes, how it moves and last but not
least what they should call it.
As the organism is adapted to its environment you
should be able to use the way it looks to answer all of
these questions. Don’t forget to give your organism a
name!
Scientists have discovered a strange new species
on a small island off the coast of Argentina.
One of the scientists has drawn a picture of the
organism which is on the next slide.
