  1. How do plants adapt to their environment?

  2. Swiss Cheese Plant Habitat Rainforest: Wet and hot, with poor soil and light.

  3. Cacti Habitat Desert: Hot, arid or semiarid, water is scarce.

  4. Stone Plants Habitat Desert: Hot, arid or semiarid, water is scarce.

  5. Venus Fly Trap Habitat Poor soils, low nutrition from soil, e.g. peat bogs

  6. Alpine saxifrages Habitat Alpine: Cold, short summers, exposed to strong winds and intense light, drought when water freezes, minimal soil.

  7. Thyme Habitat Mediterranean: Dry hot summers.

  8. Plant Adaptation • STOP HERE! • What can you find out about how these plants have adapted. There are some clues in the pictures.

  9. Swiss Cheese Plant Habitat Rainforest: Wet and hot, with poor soil and light. Big leaves to capture as much light as possible

  10. Cacti Habitat Desert: Hot, arid or semiarid, water is scarce. Reducing leaves to spines to slow down water loss

  11. Stone Plants Habitat Desert: Hot, arid or semiarid, water is scarce. Disguising themselves to avoid being eaten

  12. Venus Fly Trap Habitat Poor soils, low nutrition from soil, e.g. peat bogs Trapping insects

  13. Alpine saxifrages Habitat Alpine: Cold, short summers, exposed to strong winds and intense light, drought when water freezes, minimal soil. Tightly packed or small leaves

  14. Thyme Habitat Mediterranean: Dry hot summers. Small leathery leaves, packed with oils to help stop water loss
