Or, have students work together to create media projects such as radio spots or short videos portraying their myths and monsters or popular myth and movie sea monsters. Given a description of a dangerous animal, the student will be able to create an adaptation that would protect a human from that animal. Background An adaptation is a modification of an organism that makes it more suited to live in its environment.
Adaptations can be a body part or behavior that help an animal survive.
These adaptations include protective spines, sharp teeth, poisonous flesh, and stinging cells. Some adaptations may be dangerous to humans. Action 1 . Divide the class equally into small groups. Give each moderator a card that names one dangerous sea animal.
