Identifying Adaptations - Research project, with writing frame

(0)
Research activity for Year 7 students. Students research about the adaptations of the plants and animals of the Namib Desert. The activity requires students to research, and then present their findings in a poster. Included is a writing frame to help students structure their research. Students can use a QR scanner on their phone (QR apps are free to download for Android and iPhone), and it will take them to pages with information. Included is the original PowerPoint that you can adapt, some images of the animals and plants in the task, as well as a pdf of the powerpoint if you want to share it directly with your students, so they can read it on their computers. The pdf also has clickable links.
