In the Montessori approach, studying animal adaptations helps children understand the natural world, develop scientific thinking, and appreciate life's interconnectedness by examining how animals survive and thrive in their specific environments. Identify and classify the animals based on their adaptations. Verify the classification using a control chart. This set includes: description of animal adaptation an explanation of each trait 16 animal cards 2 control charts The animal cards are in a three-part format: 16 cards with labels 16 cards without labels 16 labels To use three-part cards, match the labels to the corresponding pictures. Verify the matches using the control cards with the labels. NOTE: This material is available in two versions, each for a different skill level. Set 1 includes a one-word description and the name of the animal on each label (example: "dormant bear" for the trait of hibernation). Set 2 includes only the name of the animal ("bear" for the trait of hibernation). Sorting cards are approx. 3½" x 3½". This file is in PDF format.
