Form and Function Grade 3 - 5

You've hunted with the lions in "Hunt the Zebra."
You've seen how different adaptations work together in "Parts of the Whole"
You've learned Why the Zebra has Stripes.
That means you are ready to discover the reason animals look the way they do.

When you look closely at an animal, you should be able to tell some things about how it lives. Things like what it eats, and whether other animals would eat it! The physical features that are useful to animals are called adaptations.

But different animals have lots of different ways of trying to stay alive. Their adaptations have to be perfectly matched to their way of surviving.

In level 2 you will look at adaptations to try to figure out how different animals live in "Predator or Prey".

You can also try to survive in the wild as a lion or zebra in the game "What's to Eat"
