This is a straight forward revision resource that would be well pitched for lower ability students. The worksheet is a cloze activity with a series of word banks provided to enable students to fill in the gaps. As the worksheet is 8 pages long it could be easily partitioned for students to complete either as a plenary, following each topic, or broken down into elements for classwork/homework. The worksheet covers the following areas of the topic on Transport in Plants: Water Movement Between Cells The Casparian Strip Uptake of Water through the Roots Movement of Water up the Stem Movement of Water out of the Leaf Factors affecting Transpiration Rate Xerophytes Translocation Sucrose Loading in the Phloem Mass Flow Hypothesis
