Bring Animal Adaptations Alive in the Classroom

How can you help your year 5 and year 6 students remember the differences between behavioural, structural and physiological adaptations in the animal kingdom? Adding these free science posters to your classroom walls makes it easy!

Created by expert science teachers on our teacher team, this four-pack of posters includes information aligned with the Australian curriculum, and we’ve brought them all together in one easy-to-print PDF. Best of all? They’re all available in eye-catching colour!

Here’s the information you’ll find on your new posters:

• What Is Adaptation — The process which enables organisms to adjust to their environment in order to ensure survival
• Behavioural Adaptations — Actions of an organism that enable them to survive in their environment (e.g. bears hibernate in winter to escape the cold temperatures and preserve energy)
• Structural Adaptations — Physical features of an organism that enable them to survive in their environment (e.g. a penguin has blubber to protect itself from freezing temperatures)
• Physiological Adaptations — Internal and/or cellular features of an organism that enable them to survive in their environment (e.g. snakes produce poisonous venom to ward off predators and to capture prey)
