What do different plants need to grow in different habitats?

This week in Science we looked at what different plants need in order to survive.  We then looked at how this can differ based on the habitat they are in.  We learned that desert plants need to be tough to survive the climate and have thick waxy leaves.  We then compared them to rainforest plants which have thin leaves to let the water evaporate easily.  We used the class VR headsets to see how the plants looked different.
