Deserts Reading (Middle, Upper)

Overview:

A reading sheet providing detailed information about deserts, including their climate, animals, and plants. Suitable for middle and upper years students.

Learning Objectives:

• Understand the characteristics of deserts, including their climate and ecosystems.
• Learn about the plants and animals that thrive in desert environments.
• Explore the adaptations of organisms that allow them to survive in harsh desert conditions.

How the Activity Works:

Students read through a passage about deserts, which covers what deserts are, their climate, and the types of plants and animals that live there. The reading sheet helps students understand how desert organisms have adapted to extreme conditions. After reading, students can discuss these adaptations and compare deserts with other biomes they’ve studied.
