👉 The process of adapting something or becoming adapted to a situation; adjustment, modification.
Alright class, settle down now, let’s take a look today,
At a really important word – “Adaptation,” come what may!
The dictionary gives us clues, it's true,
"To adapt” means changing, for me and you.
Think of a cactus in the desert sun,
It doesn’t wilt or wither, ‘til the day is done.
Its leaves are spines, so sharp and neat,
A clever adaptation, can't be beat!
It’s adjusting to its surroundings, you see,
Changing its form for survival, happily!
So “adaptation” means two things, it’s plain to view:
Either
changing
something, or
adjusting
too.
Like a fish in water, sleek and free,
Or a plant that grows where it can truly be!
It's about modifying, tweaking with care,
To fit the situation – everywhere!
Do you understand? Raise your hand if you do,
Let’s talk about adaptation, me and you!
