Animal Adaptations

Can you use what you know about animal adaptations to design a piece of clothing to solve a human problem?

Some Human Problems to think about:

Your pants get wet going down a slide.

You can’t balance well in a tree you are climbing.

You are not tall enough to reach the cookies on the counter.

Your helmet broke and now you can’t ride your bike.

You can’t hear your friends during Zoom.

You can’t get away from your siblings! You need a way to hide!

Feel free to come up with your own idea too!
