  • EXPLORE / TŪHURA

    EXPLORE / TŪHURA learning intentions:

      • We are EXPLORING our context of Te Matatini by observing the structural adaptations of living things found in forests
      • We are EXPLORING our context of Te Matatini by connecting the adaptations of living things in a forest to their particular habitats and recognising how it helps them survive.
      • We are EXPLORING our context of Te Matatini by making observations and identifying how conditions impact the growth and survival of forest species.

    Kia ora ākonga, 

    • This week we will be looking at the different adaptations that living things have and how these help them survive in specific habitats. 

      Plan for the week is as follows: 

      Tuesday: Bird beak adaptation experiment 

      Wednesday: Scientific literacy activity 

      Thursday: Forest , observations of abiotic vs biotic/ Group observations in nature journal 


      Success Criteria: I can/have...

      • define what adaptations and habitats are
      • describe the different adaptations that living things in a rainforest have. 
      • Explain how the different adaptations of living things help it survive in a particular habitat

      Activities:

      1. Bird beak experiment
      2. Education perfect - Adaptations / Ecology task 

      Homework:
      EP and Brainpop assigned ( HW and FFR)
