Over the past two weeks we have been learning about adaptations. There are very many adaptations like behavioral, structural, for hot and cold climates, land, water, and mimicry. They all help animals live in their environment. I learned a lot about adaptations. ...Sami-Kay

This past week in science we have been studying adaptations. I learned that adaptations can be anything from mimicry to raising the hair on your back. Adaptations can be something you learn to do or it can be something you're born with. There are creatures with adaptations for hot dry weather. Some have adaptations for cold (which humans clearly don't have.) ...Sam B.

Adaptations help animals and plants survive. ...Brandon

Today we had to present a poster of adaptations for water. We had a clam that filter feeds, a baracuda with a strong tail fin, gills and a sleek body. We also had a jellyfish with cell stingers and a sea slug with a soft outer covering. It took a long time to make our poster, but it was fun anyway. ....Sierra

I learned that a rabbit runs in to its burrow to be safe. A possum plays dead to be safe. A deer's power is very strong. it can run up to 40 mph. Some people which are enemies to deer hunt them, including me. A deer is a smart animal. I tried to sneek up on a deer in my back yard and it ran. The deer smelled me. A turkey is not so smart but has better vision. ....Josh

An animal need adaptations to meet their basic need to survive. Also to protect itself. ...David

Animals need adaptations to live. A whale needs thick skin and blubber to keep it warm. A clam needs filter-feeding to survive. The road runner has long legs so it can run fast across the hot sand. I learned a lot in the last two weeks. ...Brittany

Animals need adaptations to survive where they live. Different animals have different needs. They all have basic needs. ...Cady

Animals need to adapt. Like the polar bear. It needs thick fur to keep warm. A deer has long legs to run away from preditors. Owls have wings that are silent in the night so they can pick up mice. ...John

We made a poster for our assignment. I had Alex and Megan in my group. We made a poster for underwater adaptations. ...Lauren

When a possum plays dead that is an adaptation. When a butterfly flies south that is a behavioral adaptations. ...Kaitlin

For the last two weeks the fifth grade has been studying adaptations. I knew most of the adaptations. I learned some too though. We made posters. I had fun learning. ...Haley

Animals need adaptations to live. Their basic needs are food, water and oxygen. An adaptation is like a dog growing thick fur to survive in cold climates. An adaptation is something an animal or plant does to survive in its habitat. ...Nisha

I learned from studying adaptations that plants in a cold climate have to grow quickly with a short reproductive system. ...William

I learned five different kinds of adaptations. They are structural adaptations, behavioral adaptations. adaptations for hot dry climates, adaptations for water and adaptations for cold climates. I enjoyed learning about adaptations. ....Faith

I learned about adaptations. Adaptations are used to survive. Animals and plants use adaptations. That is what I learned. ...Mikelle

I learned how long legs of a roadrunner can keep them cool in the desert. ...Michael

Adaptations are something a plant or animal has to learn how to do. Animals use adaptations to survive in cold climates, hot climates or seasonal adaptations. Everyone has some adaptation. ...Natasha

Deer have long legs to get away from preditors. If the possum feels in danger it will play dead to survive. The  cactus has a waxy covering so that when the water comes it will stay in. ...Justin

One kind of adaptation is a behavioral adaptation. That is for instance when a dog does a trick. A structural adaptation must have to do with color or feature. The last kind of adaptation is mimicry. That is when one animal pretends to be another, sometimes for protection. ...Claire
