Adaptation: Design a Species Activity
This activity is designed to teach pupils about the concept of adaptation. Using the marine environment as an example, pupils learn about how different animal species are adapted physically or behaviourally to survive in a particular type of habitat. Pupils research an allocated habitat, taking into account local predator or prey species and then design a new species of animal or plant to suit the conditions. They then present this species to the class.
