Blend Reading & Science With Animal Adaptations Passages

Time is precious, and we know that sometimes it is difficult to make room for science instruction during the day, so we’re here to help you blend the two for maximum efficiency. Reading comprehension skills come from repeated practise sessions, so why not blend some of that practise into another subject area?

In this resource download, we have included engaging reading selections, vocabulary review, and comprehension activities to create an educational resource to help your students understand more about various plant and animal adaptations. From the camouflaging techniques of chameleons to the remarkable behavioural adaptations of bears, this worksheet delves into the structural, behavioural and physiological adaptations that help animals survive in harsh environments.
