Description
This a great sorting activity that gives students practice identifying structural (physical) vs. behavioral adaptations. Reuse this activity in a review station later in the unit, or before semester, end-of-course or annual state tests.
Students need repetition to aid retention of key concepts; I revisit this sort activity a couple days after introducing it and challenge student groups to "see who can correctly finish this sort the fastest." (I usually offer the winners cookies at lunch or some small reward).
An answer key is included.
This sort was originally designed for use with Texas 5th grade science students, however it would be a handy review for 7th graders studying life science or even 9th grade Biology students.
This activity would also work as a self-guided activity in a Montessori classroom!

Great resource!
This resource was incredibly easy to implement and saved me so much prep time. My students found the activities engaging, and the quality of the materials exceeded my expectations!
Great resource. I had my students complete this graphic organizer and glue it in their interactive notebook.
The students found it challenging but practical/realistic!
Great way to assess learning!
My seventh graders liked this hands-on activity. When their charts were finished, we discussed each adaptation, and students were given opportunities to justify their choice of classification. I recommend copying the chart on 8.5 x 14 paper to allow enough space to paste all the adaptations.
Yes. 8 x14 (legal size is better, especially if the kids are gluing down answers). However, I lived through an era of budget cuts and tight per-teacher paper budgets...so I'm always trying to keep things on 8-1/2 x 11...
Used this as an extra resource to reinforce adaptations.
Thank you!
Great resource to use as independent practice or exit ticket after teaching the skill!
