Description

This easy to read, one page passage defines animal adaptations as features that help animals survive. It breaks down adaptations into:

  • physical adaptations - body parts, camouflage, mimicry, and chemical defenses
  • behavioral adaptations - learned (like hunting) and instinctive or innate (like migration and hibernation)

This download includes 10 multiple choice reading comprehension questions, an answer key, and 2 self-scoring digital versions - EASEL and Google Forms. Color and black line illustrations are included to accommodate black and white printing.

The passage also has a companion YouTube video. Show the video before or after reading the passage to increase student comprehension. It provides a great modification for students who need a read aloud option.
