Arctic Adaptations

This worksheet teaches students how Arctic animals survive extreme cold. Each animal is paired with an adaptation such as blubber, camouflage, migration, or specialized hunting traits. Students must match the correct adaptation to each animal. The activity reinforces how species evolve traits that help them thrive in harsh environments.

Matching tasks like this build vocabulary comprehension and contextual reasoning. Students learn to connect short descriptions to the correct scientific idea. This strengthens their ability to read details closely and distinguish between similar concepts. It also enhances content-area literacy by introducing essential biology and ecology terms.
