Some examples ofSome examples of these these adaptations are:adaptations are:

Many organisms Many organisms have adaptations have adaptations that serve as a that serve as a defensedefense against against

One common adaptation One common adaptation that helps predators that helps predators and prey is called and prey is called
camouflage. An organism that is An organism that is
camouflaged is camouflaged is disguiseddisguised so that it is so that it is hard to see even when hard to see even when the organism is in viewthe organism is in view..
With your elbow partner think of two animals that use camouflage to protect themselves from predators. Analyze how their camouflage protects them?

Since the beginning of life on Earth, species have had special characteristics called adaptations that have helped them survive changes in environmental conditions. Changes in a species’ environment include climate changes, habitat destruction, or the extinction of prey. These changes can cause a species to die out unless the species has a characteristic that helps it survive. For example, a species of bird may have an adaptation for eating sunflower seeds and ants. If the ant population dies out, the bird can still eat seeds and can therefore survive.
In this activity, you will explore several adaptations and design an organism with adaptations you choose. Then, you will describe how these adaptations help the organism survive.
