Adaptations to arid climates
In this ARKive resource, students learn about how different animals and plants are adapted to surviving in arid habitats. Working in groups, students design and carry out an experiment aimed at testing the effectiveness of different adaptations in reducing water loss. Using a worksheet as guidance, students also...
Adaptations to different habitats - EAL
This resource is suitable for students from ages 7 to 14 and looks at the Artic and desert environments and the adaptations of polar bears and camels to their respective habitats. Although these environments and animals are used extensively in resources when exploring this topic these resources provide excellent...
The 'Adapted for success' series looks at how some of our favourite animals are uniquely adapted to their environment. Each book explores the ways in which different species have adapted to their surroundings, and covers habitat, defenses, camouflage, and the way animals find food.
This book is designed to assist teachers to get the most out of the textbooks or mathematics schemes used in their schools, providing methods of extending the activities offered to learners.
Adapting and mitigating for climate change
These videos were part of the STEM Learning Climate Change Teacher Conference, in May 2021.
In the first video, Alyssa Gilbert, from the Grantham Institute for Climate Change, presents key points on both adaptation (making changes to reduce the impact of climate change) and mitigation (reducing greenhouse...
From the Nuffield Foundation, the resources in this collection include reports and case studies that look at how the QCA scheme of work units can be developed and integrated with other curriculum areas. The reports describe projects run in primary schools and will give teachers of primary design and technology...
Adapting Resources
Produced by the LSIS, this resource looks at how materials can be adapted to meet students' needs. It uses the example of a telecommunications activity to illustrate the point. A video shows how Mark, a teacher, was able to identify opportunities to further develop his own resources to support students doing work...
Adapting the national grid - UK energy mix
A large and growing proportion of our electricity in the UK comes from renewables, and the amount of electricity generated varies depending on the weather. In this activity pupils watch a film in which Jade Kimpton from the National Grid shows how the flow of electricity in the National Grid is getting more complex...
This book answers questions like where does the fennec fox live? This question and others are answered in this book, which is part of a series looking at specific moments in the lives of hundreds of species.

Add-ons
Add-ons are part of the T5 (‘Targeting level 5’) pack. There are twelve Add-ons, each covering one of the major areas of mathematics drawn from the level 4–6 Key Stage Three National Curriculum test papers, with a particular emphasis on those areas crucial for achieving level 5.
Each Add-on includes four to...
