Students will learn to identify specific traits and adaptations that help various species thrive. The material includes matching activities that explore animal traits and their corresponding survival benefits, discussions about genetic versus environmental factors, and guided practices highlighting adaptations like camouflage, physical characteristics, and resource needs such as food, water, oxygen, and shelter.
