Have students brainstorm a list of the ways they adapt to their climate. To help them get started, show students the items that you brought in. Organize student ideas by writing a number of categories on the board. If necessary, sort ideas by season. Invite each student to choose an example of human adaptation from the list.
Students illustrate their adaptation.
They may draw their own pictures or cut and paste from old magazines. Be sure that each adaptation is labeled. Make a classroom mural. Create a large banner from butcher paper. Students attach their illustrated adaptations to the banner.
