60 minute lesson with goal, lesson, guided and individual practice questions, for special needs students with large print and visuals for standard A.L.8.4.A.1. Students will identify environmental factors which promote an organism's survival.

This resource focuses on understanding how environmental factors influence the survival of various organisms. Students will explore critical concepts such as adaptation, survival, and specific traits that help organisms thrive in their habitats. Key vocabulary includes 'environmental factors,' defined as the living and non-living elements of a habitat that impact an organism, as well as 'adaptation,' which refers to traits or behaviors that enhance survival. The resource includes analyses of specific animals like polar bears, camels, and green tree frogs, highlighting their unique adaptations to their environments. Activities encourage students to reflect on these concepts, such as analyzing images, matching traits to animals, and engaging in scientific reasoning about physical features shaped by environmental conditions.
