This challenging worksheet pushes second graders to think about how animals stay alive in the wild. Multiple-choice questions explore why a chameleon changes color to hide from predators, how a ground squirrel hibernates in winter, and why geese flying south is called migration. Children also see how a rabbit's long ears are an adaptation for hearing danger.
Fill-in-the-blank sentences add deeper vocabulary, including walking stick insects looking like twigs, monarch butterflies migrating thousands of miles, and hedgehogs rolling up so their spines protect them. The set builds the science thinking students will need for third-grade ecosystems and survival units.
