Adaptive teaching

Pupils needing extra support

Could have their own copy of the Resource: Habitat cards to sort into labelled hoops (woodland, ocean, rainforest and coastal); could complete the activity by drawing pictures of plants and animals instead of writing them down.

Pupils working at greater depth

Could add additional animals and plants to the Activity: Four habitats; could write a sentence explaining what each habitat provides for the plants and animals that live there, e.g. a seagull can find crabs to eat in the rockpools; mice can use hollow tree branches to hide from predators; seaweed floats close to the ocean’s surface so it can use the Sun to make food; chimpanzees can find plenty of bananas to eat in the rainforest.
