In this video, you will be guided to make observations of three different animals and their adaptations for survival. Even the youngest learners will gain confidence in their ability to identify the adaptations of the three featured animals, a right whale, clouded leopard, and barred owl, and to predict what habitat each animal lives in based on those adaptations.
This video is designed for students in grades K-2. After watching this video you will be able to:
- Identify physical adaptations of the right whale, clouded leopard, and barred owl
- Infer an animals’ habitat based on its adaptations
- Recall how the featured animals’ adaptations help them survive in their environment
This video complements the Smithsonian’s National Museum of Natural History’s Digital School Program for grades K-2, Animal Adaptations. Learn more about this and other free school programs and resources for students: naturalhistory.si.edu/educati...
