Toyota Dream Car Art Contest - Dream Car Adaptations

In this lesson, students design a dream car and create an artwork to represent their ideas that will be submitted to the Toyota Dream Car Art Contest. This contest encourages and inspires creative expression and imagination in students – some amazing ideas are born from dreams! Students will investigate some of the adaptations animals have to enable them to live in extreme environments. Students begin by thinking about how humans differ from animals in how they cope with extreme environments. They then investigate different types of adaptations, including physical and behavioural adaptations. Students will then work in groups to conduct research into the adaptations of one animal and report their findings to classmates. Finally, students will design and create a dream car that incorporates different animal adaptations.
