ABOUT THIS GAME
This NGSS-aligned word sort activity focuses on how different variations help organisms succeed in their environment. Students sort 12 different characteristics into three categories: Finding Food, Avoiding Predators, and Attracting Mates. The activity helps students understand how specific traits serve different purposes in survival and reproduction. Through this classification exercise, students learn to recognize how various adaptations contribute to an organism's success in finding food, staying safe, and continuing their species through reproduction.
