Item description

This resource consists of five handy printable black-and-white Student Worksheets (plus Answer Sheets) that will not just save you valuable lesson preparation time but also help your students to revise and to consolidate their understanding of the structural, behavioural and physiological adaptations of plants and animals that live in extreme environments.
