Everything you need to teach forests at KS3 — two complete resources, full answer keys, and no preparation required. Suitable for students aged 11-14.

The main 100-mark worksheet covers all four reasons why forests are important, how photosynthesis stores carbon and slows global warming, how interception prevents flooding, and the climate, trees, and locations of all three forest types. Questions progress from multiple choice and true/false through to extended writing and comparison tables. The extension pack adds four enrichment activities: vocabulary matching, a challenge quiz with forest cover data analysis, an Amazon rainforest case study, and a rubric-assessed Teach It Back task. Full answer keys and marking guidance included for everything.

Buying this bundle saves £1 compared to purchasing both resources separately (£3 + £3 = £6 individually, £5 as a pack).
