This engaging and adaptable lesson combines mapping skills and ecosystem knowledge, focusing on the biomes and animal adaptations of the Middle East. Designed to support the AQA GCSE Geography syllabus, students first complete a hands-on biome mapping task, colouring and annotating a clear outline map to show desert, forest, grassland, and mountain regions. The second half of the lesson explores animal adaptations to arid environments, using visual prompts, diagrams, and real-world examples like the camel and Arabian scorpion. Basic images are included and can be easily adapted or replaced to suit different classes, abilities or resource styles. Perfect for building geographic literacy, understanding climate challenges, and linking to Paper 1: Living with the Physical Environment.
