Adaptations in Animals (Predators & Prey) CLF Lesson & Resources - Lesson 6 - KS4 BIOLOGY

This is lesson 6 of 7 lessons that can be used in part or whole to teach the biology topic of interdependence in animals and plants.

This lesson explains how animals are adapted to survive. The scaffolding is to identify the adaptations, then how those adaptations help it survive a predator or catch a prey. The worksheet builds on the modeling done earlier. There is also a sheet that gives pupils scope for artistic flair by building their own predator or prey and how the adaptations help them. Challenge looks at how the adaptations in the wrong environment don’t help it.

These lessons are not board specific and can be used (dependent on ability) from KS3 and KS4.
