Description
- Are you looking for an NGSS-aligned resource to teach about animal adaptation?
- This best-selling resource contains five informational reading passages about animal adaptations.
- It is also available for use in the Google Classroom™.
☀️ Animal Adaptations Non-Fiction Texts and Activities for Use with Google Slides™
- This highly engaging resource was made for the NGSS 3-LS2 Ecosystems: Interactions, Energy, and Dynamics.
- It covers the following animals in the following ecosystems:
Collared Lizard - desert
Clownfish - ocean
Arctic Fox - arctic tundra
Blue Heron - wetlands
Yellow Jacket - temperate forest
- The passages were written with third graders in mind, but the information is very interesting and complex and would be useful for upper grades as well. Even I learned things while researching the adaptations! There is a tips sheet for teachers and two recording sheets (differentiated) for students on which they can note the adaptations that their given animal has in order to survive in its ecosystem.
