Identify desert plants
Drag the labels to the correct pictures. When you are ready, use the 'Mark button' to see if you're right.
Discussion points
- Desert plants and animals need to have special adaptations to cope with having little water.
- How are these plants adapted to an arid habitat?
- Can you find out in which desert each plant is found?
Teaching tips:
Children could use this activity to make comparisons between desert plants and those found in their local environment, noting adaptations plants have in order to survive. Use with 'Identify desert animals' as part of discussions about desert flora and fauna or get pupils to show their understanding of desert plants with the Desert plants writing project.
