Description

Explore the fascinating world of physical adaptations with this comparative resource. Students will examine different animals and their unique physical features that help them survive in various environments.

Curriculum Codes

VCSSU074

Living things have structural features and adaptations that help them to survive in their environment

VCSIS082

With guidance, pose questions to clarify practical problems or inform a scientific investigation, and predict what the findings of an investigation might be based on previous experiences or general rules

VCSIS085

Construct and use a range of representations, including tables and graphs, to record, represent and describe observations, patterns or relationships in data

VCSSU073

Scientific understandings, discoveries and inventions are used to inform personal and community decisions and to solve problems that directly affect people’s lives

VCSIS088

Communicate ideas and processes using evidence to develop explanations of events and phenomena and to identify simple cause-and-effect relationships

VCSIS086

Compare data with predictions and use as evidence in developing explanations

AC9S5U01 9

Examine how particular structural features and behaviours of living things enable their survival in specific habitats

AC9S5H02 9

Investigate how scientific knowledge is used by individuals and communities to identify problems, consider responses and make decisions

AC9S5I01 9

Pose investigable questions to identify patterns and test relationships and make reasoned predictions

AC9S5H01 9

Examine why advances in science are often the result of collaboration or build on the work of others

AC9S5I04 9

Construct and use appropriate representations, including tables, graphs and visual or physical models, to organise and process data and information and describe patterns, trends and relationships
