    FOCUS / ARONGA

    FOCUS / ARONGA learning intentions:

    • We are FOCUSING on plant biology so as to develop a good understanding of plant adaptation and a range of adaptation features.
    • We are FOCUSING on information web so that we learn how to use it to list and describe the different adaptation features of a specific plant.


    Success Criteria: (Students can...)

    • identify the different adaptation features, and the associating habitat and environmental factors
    • describe the adaptation features of various plants
    • explain the how the adaptation features help the plants to survive in their environments


    Activities & Learning Tasks:

    1. Watch the videos to understand more about plant adaptations.
    2. Research into this topic; use the website provided.
    3. Choose a plant to study its unique adaptation features.
    4. Explain the features based of the type of leaves, stems, and roots. 
    5. Repeat the above for another 3-5 different plants.
