Animal Adaptations #2 Informational Reading Comprehension Passages
By Science and STEAM Team
This resource contains six informational reading passages about animal adaptations. There is an engaging animal adaptations worksheet for students to fill out as they read. It was made for the NGSS 3-LS2 Ecosystems: Interactions, Energy, and Dynamics.
It covers the following animals in the following ecosystems:
Jackrabbit - desert
Great White Shark - ocean
Rock Ptarmigan - arctic tundra
Dragonfly - wetlands
Box Turtle - temperate forest
Armadillo - southern regions (this is an extra because I took these great pics)
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.
☀️What others are saying about our top selling, first Animal Adaptations resource:☀️
"Great resource! I love setting up the cards in different centres and getting my students moving around the classroom as they read about each one."

Animal Adaptations Informational Reading Comprehension Texts in Black and White
By Science and STEAM Team
Now one of top sellers, animal adaptations, also comes in printer-friendly black and white!
This resource contains five informational reading passages about animal adaptations. It was made for the NGSS 3-LS2 Ecosystems: Interactions, Energy, and Dynamics. It covers the following animals in the 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.
