Full lesson	Create for a teacher a set of content for giving a lesson, beginning with the lesson plan. Each new block of materials must begin with an H1 heading (other subheaders must be H2, H3, etc). When you describe required pictures, write those descriptions in curly brackets, for example: {A picture of a triangle}

Lesson Structure

Step Number	Step Title	Length	Details
1	Introduction to Adaptation	5 min	Introduce the concept of adaptation. Use visuals to illustrate examples.
2	Types of Adaptations	10 min	Discuss structural, behavioral, and physiological adaptations. Provide examples. Give handouts summarizing these types.
3	Group Activity	10 min	Divide students into groups of 4. Ask them to select an organism and discuss its adaptations. Provide sticky notes for them to write down key points.
4	Group Presentations	5 min	Groups share their findings with the class. Encourage questions and interactions.
5	Conclusion and Review	5 min	Summarize key points from the lesson. Discuss the importance of adaptations in survival.

Assessment

• Informal assessment will be conducted during group discussions and presentations.
• No formal presentations will be required, ensuring a comfortable environment for all students to engage.

Homework

• Ask students to write a short paragraph about an organism of their choice and its adaptations, to be submitted in the next class for review.

Additional Notes

• Ensure to create a supportive atmosphere that encourages participation from all students.
• Adapt the discussion and examples according to the diverse backgrounds and interests of students.
• Be mindful of different learning styles by incorporating visuals, discussions, and group work.
