This document is about how living things adapt to survive in their environments. It discusses how both animals and plants adapt through changing their behaviors and growing specialized body parts. Animals may adapt by changing how they move, such as learning to run fast, swim, or fly. They also grow parts like claws, fangs, fur or scales. Plants also change behaviors like learning to float or produce nectar. They grow adaptations like roots, leaves, fruits or become poisonous. The document aims to teach students about survival of living things through environmental adaptations.
