Tool Tip Tuesday: Animals, Adaptation, and the Galapagos Islands

I’ve been working with second graders recently at the local nature center and they’re learning about the ways animals adapt to survive so this got me looking for resources that can be used to fill that particular standard.  Smithsonian has some great interactives that cover the topic of adaptation and its sister concept, evolution.  A printable journal is available for students to record their experiences and relevant vocabulary is covered.
