Support your Year 5 students in their Biological Sciences: Surviving in Specific Habitats unit of work with the Possum Skin Cloaks Foldable task.

Created to coincide with the Year 5 Biological Sciences Australian Curriculum, this activity will provide students with the opportunity to apply their understanding of how First Nations Australians have utilised the adaptations of native plants and animals.

To complete the task, students must respond to the questions on the Possum Skin Cloaks Foldable template about the adaptations of possums and the significance of possum skin cloaks to First Nations Australians. We have included a blank template for students who wish to pose their own research questions and options for lines only or lines and space for illustrations.

Once students have finished their responses, they can colour in the cover page, cut both pages out, accordion fold and assemble.
