Animal Adaptations Sorting

Studying animal adaptations helps children understand the natural world, develop scientific thinking, and appreciate life's interconnectedness by examining how animals survive and thrive in their specific environments.

Learn about eight animal adaptation traits. Then identify and classify the animal picture cards. Verify the classifications using the control chart.

This set includes:

• description of animal adaptation
• an explanation of each trait
  
• 16 animal cards
• 2 control charts

The animal cards are in a three-part format:

• 16 cards with labels
• 16 cards without labels
• 16 labels

To use these three-part cards, match the labels to their corresponding pictures. Use the labeled control cards to verify the matches.

NOTE: This material is available in two versions, each for a different skill level.

Set 1 includes a one-word description and the animal's name on each label (example: "dormant bear" for the trait of hibernation).

Set 2 includes only the name of the animal ("bear" for the trait of hibernation).

Sorting cards are approx. 3½" x 3½".
