The Adaptations and Survival Kit is a comprehensive science resource designed to help students explore how living things survive and thrive in different environments. Combining mul tiple specimen-based kits, this set introduces key biological concepts such as structural and behavioural adaptations, evolution, and ecological relationships. Students can investigate how seeds disperse through wind, water and animals, how insect legs are specialised for movement such as digging or jumping, how poisonous animals use toxins for defence, and how species change over time. The included Mode of Seed Transmission set helps learners observe how seeds travel and grow , while the insect leg specimens clearly demonstrate how structure supports survival and behaviour . This kit provides meaningful connections between real-world examples and curriculum-based biological science learning. Educational Benefits: Supports understanding of how structural and behavioural adaptations aid survival Encourages observation and comparison using real biological specimens Builds knowledge of ecosystems, biodiversity, and evolutionary processes Develops scientific language and classification skills through investigation Classroom Ideas: Compare plant and animal adaptations across the included kits Create a visual chart linking adaptations to environmental conditions Investigate how different seed types travel using simple experiments Analyse insect leg structures and match them to their functions Safety & Information: Suitable for ages 3+ Includes non-toxic, odour-free resin-embedded specimens for safe handling Use with supervision when handling small components Store in a cool, dry place to maintain clarity and longevity Product Contents: 1x Animal Evolution Set (TEB-R14) – includes comparative specimens or models showing changes between related species over time 1x Mode of Seed Transmission Kit (TEB-R47) – includes 4 seeds in resin such as Xanthium sibiricum, soybean pod, chinaschilf and lotus seedpod 1x Types of Insect Legs (TEB-R41) – includes real preserved leg types such as fossorial (digging), saltatorial (jumping) and raptorial (grasping) legs 1x Poisonous Animal Kits (TEB-R10) – includes preserved or replica specimens demonstrating venomous adaptations (e.g. insects or small animals) Show more
