In this 2 hour lesson, pupils learn how animals and plants have adapted to survive in the hostile desert environment. A guided reading exercise introduces the various strategies plants use to preserve water, and deal with the extreme temperatures. Pupils then label a diagram of the Saguaro Cactus and explain how these adaptations help the plant to survive. A short video resource is included to highlight the features of opportunistic vegetation such as the resurrection plant. Finally pupils complete a worksheet focusing on the camel and fennec fox, in which they match up the animals adaptations to their purpose.
Workbook pintables are provided which follow the PowerPoint lesson. Multiple choice checking for understanding slides are included, as well as links and videos to allow pupils to secure their learning at home.

This 12 week scheme investigates China. China has a rich and unique heritage, spanning back thousands of years. Its huge size produces diverse landscapes and unique physical Geography, found nowhere else in the world. These contrasting landscapes are mirrored by huge inequalities across its human landscapes. Stark population differences and large discrepancies in standards of living across the country provide interest, given how China portrays itself at the world stage. The decisive but often controversial decisions made by the Chinese government have helped China’s economy grow to become one of the largest in the world. This unit investigates this growing superpower, evaluating the impacts of physical Geography and government policy on development across the nation.
