🌳 Part 1: Habitat Knowledge

1. Which habitat typically receives the most rainfall per year?

Rainforest

Desert

Both receive the same amount

2. What is the average temperature range in a tropical rainforest?

0-10°C

20-30°C

35-45°C

3. Which characteristics apply to desert habitats? (Tick all that apply)

Low rainfall (less than 250mm per year)

High biodiversity

Extreme temperature variations

Dense vegetation

4. The main limiting factor for plant growth in deserts is:

Temperature

Water availability

Sunlight

Soil nutrients

🦎 Part 2: Adaptations Analysis

5. Explain how a cactus is adapted to survive in the desert. Give two specific adaptations.

6. Large leaves in rainforest plants help them to _________________ because _________________.

7. Match the adaptation to the correct habitat by drawing lines:

Thick, waxy skin

Broad leaves

Water storage tissues

Climbing vines

Rainforest

Desert

Rainforest

Desert

8. Describe one behavioural adaptation that helps desert animals survive.

🌍 Part 3: Conservation & Critical Thinking

9. Why is it important to conserve both rainforest and desert habitats?

10. Complete the Venn diagram below by writing features that are unique to each habitat and features they share:

Draw two overlapping circles. Label one "Rainforest" and one "Desert". Fill in unique and shared characteristics.

11. Suggest one conservation action for each habitat:

Rainforest: _________________________________________________

Desert: _____________________________________________________
