Adaptations
Student learning resource
We are learning about the structural and behavioural adaptations of living things
These lessons will help students learn about adaptations of living things and the strategies they use to survive.
Students will practise the science skills of gathering information, communicating effectively and investigating scientifically.
To help we have enlisted the world-famous Sherlock Holmes and Dr Watson’s Science Detective Agency.
Holmes, Watson and a few other interesting characters will help students learn in different ways.
These activities can be used to support an Adaptations incursion or excursion.
