Animal Adaptations

Essential Question:  How do animals use physical and behavioral adaptations to survive?
After learning about physical and behavioral adaptations, Team Gibbas students had the opportunity to research an animal of their choosing.   Students then created a "Creature Feature" poster which described the creature's habitat, the creature's adaptations, and how the creature fit in a food chain.
