3. Do-Now
While I am taking attendance try to answer the following questions. Please think to yourself then we will pair then share.
Do not write this in your science notebook
What is an adaptation? How do organisms use adaptations? How does this help them survive and reproduce?

4. Notes
Adaptations are traits which help an organism survive and reproduce
There are three main types of adaptations
Structural adaptation = a physical trait
Functional adaptation = biochemical process
Behavioral adaptation = an action, behavior or instinct
