Animal adaptations and climate change
Lesson2 of 6 in this unit
PrimaryYear 5 - 6ScienceEnvironmentalBiodiversityClimate Change
Lesson Summary
In this activity students investigate what physical features animals might need to help them adapt to climate change. Students look at an animal that is local to their area, and compare it to other similar animals in other parts of Australia and the world. They select adaptations from these similar animals that they believe would help their animal cope with climate change. Students present their ideas to the class.

- understand that similar animals in different habitats have developed different adaptations according to the needs of their habitat.
- recognise that climate change may alter habitats.
- recognise that changes to habitats can affect that animals that live in those habitats.
