The shape of different beaks in ecosystems begin this unit of study. Discussion of which types of food the beaks collect best helps to reinforce how adaptations are made within a habitat. Examination of how seeds are dispersed through plant adaptations. Hands-on inspection of different seeds helps students to understand that even seeds have adapted for easy dispersal throughout the ecosystem. Both physical and structural adaptations are explored through the reading of the book, What Color is Camouflage?
