PREDATOR Adaptation Worksheet
In this activity your group will discuss and act out important adaptations of predators (secondary, tertiary or quaternary consumers) which allow them to survive. You will have to think of adaptations that allow predators to withstand the adaptations of their prey. Individuals from your group will go against individuals from the prey group. Good luck and have fun.
Complete the following tasks in order.
POSSIBLE ADAPTATIONS
A. Discuss adaptations are helpful to predators. These adaptations could aid in finding, hunting, digesting, killing, etc. Other useful adaptations could relate to countering or withstanding adaptations of their prey. List and explain these adaptations below.
NARROWING DOWN ADAPTATIONS
B. As a group discuss which adaptations you listed in task A are the most useful. You should narrow down the list to equal the number of group members (4 adaptations if you have 4 group members, 5 adaptations if you have 5 group members). List the adaptations below.
Adaptations:
1.
2.
3.
4.
INDIVIDUAL ADAPTATIONS
C. Each person will choose an adaptation from task B. Two or more members cannot have the same adaptation. Write down each group member name and his/her adaptation.

GROUP STRATEGY / POWER RANKING
D. Your group is allowed 26 POWER POINTS. These power points indicate the strength of an adaptation. No adaptation can have a power ranking above 10. Assign the adaptation of each group member a power ranking. Write down the group member adaptations and their respective power ranking below.

PREY Adaptation Worksheet
In this activity your group will discuss and act out important adaptations of prey animals which allow them to survive. You will have to think of adaptations that allow prey to withstand the adaptations of their predators. Individuals from your group will go against individuals from the predator group. Good luck and have fun.
Complete the following tasks in order.
POSSIBLE ADAPTATIONS
A. Discuss adaptations that are helpful to prey animals. These adaptations could aid in escaping, hiding, defense, etc. Other useful adaptations could relate to countering or withstanding adaptations of their predators. List and explain these adaptations below.
NARROWING DOWN ADAPTATIONS
B. As a group discuss which adaptations you listed in task A are the most useful. You should narrow down the list to equal the number of group members (4 adaptations if you have 4 group members, 5 adaptations if you have 5 group members). List the adaptations below.
