Testimonials

"Great way for the kids to independently read and analyze what they learned through the use of the graphic organizer. They individually picked which plant they wanted to read about and then they shared with each other. It was a high-interest activity."

"Such a great resource and activity! The students are super engaged and everyone stays on task! The information that is provided is very interesting! Lots of different ways that you can incorporate it into your class."

This resource contains six informational reading passages about animal adaptations. There is an engaging animal adaptations worksheet for students to fill out as they read. It was made for the NGSS 3-LS2 Ecosystems: Interactions, Energy, and Dynamics.

It covers the following animals in the following ecosystems:

Jackrabbit - desert

Great White Shark - ocean

Rock Ptarmigan - arctic tundra

Dragonfly - wetlands

Box Turtle - temperate forest

Armadillo - southern regions (this is an extra because I took these great pics)

The passages were written with third graders in mind, but the information is very interesting and complex and would be useful for upper grades as well. Even I learned things while researching the adaptations! There is a tips sheet for teachers and two recording sheets (differentiated) for students on which they can note the adaptations that their given animal has in order to survive in its ecosystem.
