Amazing Adaptations!

Amazing Adaptations is an in-class group activity that challenges students to think about how animals evolved their diverse adaptations via natural selection. To do this, student groups will develop models of different animal groups (birds, fish, mammals, and reptiles) by selecting different adaptations for their respective organisms. Their animals will then experience different random environmental events that will put their predetermined animal adaptations to the test! The outcome of these events determines which animals representatives of each group goes extinct or becomes part of the next generation of amazing animals!
