Today's ICT Lesson on Adaptations
Your Task:

• Work in pairs to research using the computer.
• Research on 2 different animals in terms of structural and behavioural adaptations.
• These adaptations should serve to enhance the organisms' survival in their environments, such as, coping with extreme temperatures, catching prey and protecting against predators. 

How to input in Google Sheets:

• Enter your research findings according to the headings in the google spreadsheet.
• State the scientific concept involved
• After you are done with the 2 animals, you may comment on other contribution made by your classmates. 
• You can make us of the following scaffolds (click on the drop down list) to help you make comments.

1. I think....
2. I can add to that...
3. I wonder why...
4. I wonder what...
5. I wonder how...
6. I wonder who...

Video on Nature Best Camouflages

The video below shows some animals which are good at blending in to the environment. What do you think is the purpose or function of such adaptation?
