Wetlands Adaptations | Boom Cards | Digital

Use these thirty self-checking cards to practice determining whether an adaptation of a plant or animal is physical or behavioural. These cards require no prep other than assigning them to your students online.

This resource is part of our Wetlands Bundle. It is included in our Grade 5 Alberta Science Bundle.

This digital resource includes:

• instructions for teachers to set up a Boom Learning account.
• 30 self-checking cards which will be added to your library on boomlearning.com when the link is applied.
• no typing or spelling.
• questions where students determine if the adaptations are physical or behavioural.
• plants and animals found in wetland ecosystems in Canada.

Ninja Note: This activity is designed for students to review or practice after learning the concept. It does not teach the difference between the two types of adaptations.
