Over time, all living things such as plants and animals have changed or adjusted in different ways to suit their environment to help them survive. These special features are called adaptations.

Test your knowledge of adaptation with the activities below.

Adaptations allow living things to survive in their habitats.

Design a new animal or plant to survive on an alien planet. You will need to create your imaginary habitat first.

• Is it hot or cold?
• Are there any forests or deserts?

Then you can design your living thing to be suited to this habitat. What adaptations will it have?

Once you have designed your living thing, write a paragraph to explain what the habitat is like and why you chose the adaptations.
