Every sheet in June 1960
The same date always regenerates the same five questions, so a sheet you print today is the sheet a classmate prints tomorrow.

- 23rd June 1960Explain why type 1 diabetes is treated with insulin injections rather than tablets.
- 24th June 1960The Arctic fox has small, rounded ears compared with the desert fennec fox, which has very large ears. State whether this is a structural, behavioural or functional adaptation, and explain how it helps the Arctic fox survive.
