Animal Adaptations

Bring your classroom to life with an animal adaptations program! Give your students an exciting opportunity to explore the fascinating world of animal adaptations through birds of prey. Students will explore the physical and behavioral traits that make these animals such skilled and fierce hunters. Through inquiry-based stations, students will investigate how adaptations help birds of prey survive and thrive. They'll also learn about the ecological role these predators play and meet one of our birds of prey ambassadors. By the end, students will be able to define adaptations and describe the process of natural selection.
