Critical thinking and problem solving!

Success is easy under temperate
conditions, however under the most
extreme arid conditions only those
using special adaptations can hope
to survive.

Features:
30 game levels ranging from temperate to an extreme arid climate.
• 12 arid adaptations to aid survival.
• Description of each adaptation for easy learning.
• Adaptations include: • Small leaves • Stem water storage
• Succulent leaves • Spines
• Thick cuticle • Sunken stomates
• Leaf hairs • Stomata hairs
• Rollable leaves • C4 photosynthesis
• Stem photosynthesis • CAM photosynthesis

Under arid conditions:
• Survival becomes a nightmare.
• Critical thinking and knowledge of adaptations is required.
• Animals eat moisture-laden plants more often!
• Root growth patterns must be well thought out.
