Begin the lesson with an engaging discussion about the savanna habitat. Ask students what they know about savannas and what animals they think live there.

Show the video 'The African Savannah – Virtual Field Trip' to provide a visual introduction to the savanna environment. This video helps students understand the climate and biodiversity of the savanna.

Explain the characteristics of the savanna habitat, focusing on its climate, vegetation, and seasonal changes. Highlight the importance of adaptations for survival in this environment.

Discuss how plants like the baobab tree adapt to the savanna by storing water in their stems and having deep taproots.

Explore the adaptations of animals such as meerkats and cheetahs. Discuss how meerkats use burrows for protection and how cheetahs use speed and camouflage.

Watch the video 'Grasslands' to further explore the concept of grassland ecosystems and the diversity of life they support. This video helps students understand the global significance of grasslands.

Conduct a role-play activity where students act out the behaviors of different savanna animals and discuss how these behaviors help them survive.

Assign students to draw and label a savanna habitat, including at least three animals and their adaptations.

Use the 'Savanna Adaptations' assessment to evaluate students' understanding of the topic. This assessment encourages observation and critical thinking about how organisms survive in the savanna.

Have students share their drawings and discuss the different adaptations they included. Reflect on how these adaptations are essential for survival in the savanna.

Encourage students to complete the 'Adaptations – Comprehension' assessment to reinforce their understanding of adaptation concepts. This activity helps students apply their knowledge to various environmental contexts.
