Teach your students the different types of behavioral, structural and physiological adaptations with a set of 4 printable posters.
What Are the 3 Types of Adaptations?
What is Adaptation – The process that enables organisms to adjust to their environment in order to ensure survival.
Behavioral 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 it to survive in its 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 it to survive in its environment (e.g. snakes produce poisonous venom to ward off predators and to capture prey).
