Explore the wonderful world of animal adaptations with this insect-focused PowerPoint presentation. This KS2 science resource helps pupils identify the adaptations of insects from different habitats across the world. The insect examples feature some less familiar bugs including the atlas moth, hissing cockroach, thorn bug, and stag beetle.

The presentation

The presentation is full of real photographs and fun facts that are sure to engage your students. For each insect, students first look at a photograph and discuss its features. They are then given more information about how it is adapted to its habitat and lifestyle.

The activity

At the end of the presentation, pupils are set the challenge of designing their own insect for a named habitat, outlining its adaptations to survive there.

Is it editable?

You can edit the text boxes to make any tweaks you need for your learners. The borders, images, and titles are not editable. 2 spare slides (blank with a border) are included should you wish to add anything.

This resource links to the upper KS2 science curriculum where pupils should ‘identify how animals and plants are adapted to suit their environment in different
ways’.
