Eagle
Adaptations and Human Inventions
The
Match Game
The most important part of a human body is the brain, which allows us to solve a lot of problems and adapt to a lot of different environments. Let's think of some human inventions and how they help us do some of the things eagles can do because of their physical adaptations.
Directions: Match the eagle's needs with a human invention that allows us to do what eagles do naturally. (Print student worksheet.)
