The Adaptation FIELD Kit is a unique way of educating your students about local animal and plant adaptations. Students will be intrigued every step of the way through the interactive, inquiry-based learning, and hands-on experience. This kit includes surprise puzzles of an animal or plant that will be followed by questions and a "show and tell" of animal or plant artifacts (biofacts). To end your day, indoor and outdoor activities will be provided to continue your students learning and inspire a connection to nature.

Testimonial
We were able to use the Adaptations kit for one afternoon. As soon as the natural animal artifacts were displayed, my K/1 class was fully engaged! Kenzie has spared no expense to collect the most relevant hands-on resources to complement this kit. The thinking and observations the students shared while looking at and touching the artifacts were so much more insightful, focused and enthusiastic - and then they wanted to see what other goodies were in the kit!
Our class loved the field kits! Students were engaged and all of the artifacts sparked a lot of curiosity and questions! Thanks!
