Halloween Creature Adaptation STEAM Activity

In this engaging STEM lesson, students will explore the fascinating world of animal adaptations by creating their own fictional Halloween creatures. They will design unique creatures, place them in Halloween environments with specific challenges, and develop adaptations to help their creatures survive. This project will encourage critical thinking, creativity, and a deeper understanding of how animals adapt to their surroundings.

To make this activity even more festive, included is a fictional story for you to read to your class, putting them in the shoes of Dr. Frankenstein's apprentices. They will be challenged to create their own Halloween monsters to rival the creation of their mentor Dr. Frankenstein!

The environment cards were designed to be printed once and laminated for year to year use, cutting back on waste and prep time! This Halloween Activity is perfect for a sub day in October, or on Halloween as a treat for your students!
