Conduct a scientific experiment to learn more about a plant’s needs.
A self-reflection rubric for the information report on behavioural and physical adaptations of desert and plants.
An outline of what needs to be included in an information report on behavioural and physical adaptations of desert plants and animals.
Students draw a scientific diagram with annotations of a Xerophyte (Desert Plant that has specifically adapted for water conservation).
Students research one of the common modes of seed dispersal: Water, wind, animals, gravity or ballistics. They explain how the seed is dispe...
Students explain and illustrate how the Australian Banksia survives the catastrophic event of Australian bushfires.
Student research and investigate a plant that mimics the look of something else to aid its survival. They name and illustrate the plant and...
Students describe the adaptations that helps each of the following plant survive. They draw and label a scientific diagram of each. E.g.,...
Students brainstorm some environments in which plants live, describe them and some of the possible problems that plants may face in those en...

A poster that highlights examples of physical adaptations of penguins.
A poster that highlights examples of physical adaptations of giraffes.
Students raw a scientific diagram with annotations to show behavioural adaptations of camels in the desert.
Students draw a scientific diagram with annotations to show physical adaptations of penguins in Antarctica.
Students draw a scientific diagram with annotations to show behavioural adaptations of giraffes in the Savannah biome.
A set of poster that explains behavioural adaptations, “active times”; cathemeral, diurnal, nocturnal, crepuscular.
A poster that shows the extreme differences in temperature in the desert from day to night.
Students define each active time and illustrate an animal for each type of active time. E.g., crepuscular, nocturnal, diurnal
Students draw a scientific diagram with annotations to demonstrate their understand of how a plant or animal survives in the desert.
A title page to use in conjunction with the Year 5 Biological Sciences Unit, Adaptations.
Students investigate some the largest migrations in the animal kingdom, plotting them on a world map.
Students take what they’ve learned about the Tardigrade, and reimagine them in a super hero setting.
This worksheet lets them compare their plant experiment’s measurements with the control group, as well as the other plants so that they can...
This reading comprehension activity has students complete a short reading on the reproductive rates of different living things so students c...
Students are able to complete their mould growth experiment, recording their final observations, and answering questions.
This worksheet allows students to record their observations and measurements during their plant experiment.
