Adaptations and Survival

Animals and plants have features and behaviours that help them survive in particular environments. An adaptation may help an organism find food, avoid danger, reproduce or cope with environmental conditions.

Try This Strategy

  1. Identify the organism and its environment.
  2. Name the physical feature or behaviour.
  3. Explain how that feature helps survival.
  4. Connect the adaptation to the conditions of the environment.
