Adaptations

Can you tell the difference between the 3 types?

Structural, Behavioral, Physiological

Page 4: What’s an adaptation? A structure or behavior that helps an organism survive in its environment.

Example: fish swim in schools (protection)

Page 5: What’s an adaptation? A structure or behavior that helps an organism survive in its environment.

Example: bird calls (attract mates, defense)

Page 6: What’s an adaptation? A structure or behavior that helps an organism survive in its environment.

Example: squirrels bury nuts (resource for winter)

Which type of adaptation?

Structural - Behavioral - Physiological

swimming in schools calls or

howls or cries

burying food for winter

Adaptation Definition Example

Structural

Behavioral

Physiological

- action done on purpose to help with survival - by choice

Adaptation Definition Example

Structural

- physical feature that helps an organism survive - body part

- action done on purpose to help with survival - by choice

Page 14: What’s an adaptation? A structure or behavior that helps an organism survive in its environment.

Example: shedding

winter coat (stay cool in hot weather)

Page 15: What’s an adaptation? A structure or behavior that helps an organism survive in its environment.

Example: sweating (stay cool)

Page 16: What’s an adaptation? A structure or behavior that helps an organism survive in its environment.

Example: adrenaline is pumped into the bloodstream

when you get scared or surprised

(heart speeds up – you’re ready to run)

Example: your pupils automatically dilate (get bigger) in

dark places, to let in more light

Which type of adaptation?

Behavioral - Structural - Physiological

Adaptation Definition Example

Structural

Behavioral

Physiological

- physical feature that helps an organism survive - body part

- action done on purpose to help with survival - by choice

- involuntary action or change- cell activity- automatic

Adaptations Are changes in physical forms or behaviors brought about by natural selection that enable an organism to better survive in its natural habitat.
