These are bounded opportunities, not learner attainment. Partial and blocked source requirements remain so.

• partial: Know how rainforest plants are adapted to their environment — drip-tip leaves channel water off quickly to prevent rot, buttress roots spread wide to support tall trees in thin soil, epiphytes (like orchids and bromeliads) grow on tree branches to reach sunlight without needing soil, and lianas climb trunks to reach the canopy

  Text-described structures, not photograph recognition or proof all rainforest plants share these features.

• partial: Describe at least three plant adaptations: drip-tip leaves, buttress roots, and epiphytes

  Text-described structures, not photograph recognition or proof all rainforest plants share these features.

• partial: Explain the purpose of each adaptation (e.g. drip-tips shed water to prevent rot)

  Text-described structures, not photograph recognition or proof all rainforest plants share these features.

• partial: Use the word adaptation to mean a feature that helps an organism survive in its environment

  Text-described structures, not photograph recognition or proof all rainforest plants share these features.

• partial: Can {{name}} explain why some rainforest trees have huge roots spreading out like wings, or why leaves have pointy tips that water drips off — that these are clever adaptations to life in a hot, wet forest?
