Instructions
- Select a native organism (plant or animal) of your choice living in an extreme environment (rainforest, arid zone, fire-prone environment, cold climate), and research its adaptations. Use the template below to guide your research.

- Explore the outdoors and collect materials that have the same textures or colours as any structural features of your chosen organism. You might even consider the sounds of different materials!
- Create a sensory poster providing information on the structural, behavioural and physiological adaptations of your chosen plant or animal. In your poster, you must:
- Write a brief description of where the animal or plant is found. Indicate its geographical distribution, and the type of environment it lives in.
- Include a visual representation of your organism. Use your collected materials (and other craft materials) to demonstrate some structural adaptations.
- Label all structural adaptations features and at least two behavioural and/or physiological adaptations. You should include at least five adaptations in total.
- For each labelled adaptation, include a brief explanation of how that adaptation enables the survival of your plant/animal in its habitat.
Extension: Digitally represent your information (e.g. through video, audio, or text) and use QR codes in place of each labelled feature.
