Animal Adaptations and Survival Strategies

The video explores the structures and functions of living things, focusing on both animals and plants. It introduces Bob the lizard to explain internal and external structures, and takes a field trip to the California Academy of Sciences to learn about various animal adaptations. The video also covers plant structures and their survival mechanisms, and discusses real-world applications inspired by nature. The session concludes with a review of the key concepts learned.
