    Big Idea:  To investigate the biodiversity of New Zealand's marine ecosystem by looking at Ecology

    Learning Intentions :  We are learning to (WALT)...

    EXPLORE / TŪHURA

    EXPLORE / TŪHURA learning intentions:

    • We are EXPLORING the uniqueness of New Zealand's marine ecosystems, by investigating Ecology and the Biotic and abiotic factors that interrelate in an ecosystem
    • We are EXPLORING the hydrosphere and the importance of water to earth by investigating the effects of man on this particular water and the oceans
    • We are EXPLORING how and why organisms are adapted in order to survive in a marine ecosystem
    • We are EXPLORING the influence of man on the marine ecosystem and how we can prevent this

    • Describe the basic structure of the earth 
    • Investigate and analyse the hydrosphere. 
    • Graph data on % of water found on earth
    • Investigate the water cycle
    • Describe the processes involved in the water cycle 
    • Predict what would happen should man interfere with the water cycle 
    • Investigate the various components of an ecosystem
    • Distinguish between vertebrates and invertebrates 
    • Use simple keys to identify unknown organisms or objects 
    • Explain meaning of the words ecosystems, communities and populations 
    • Define the word habitat and describe the habitats of a range of organisms 
    • Describe how an organism's adaptations help it survive in its habitat, looking particularly at our marine ecosystem 
    • Describe how man is damaging marine ecosystems 
    • Research a topic of concern, like overfishing, plastic pollution, saving the maui dolphin, mercury poisoning, shark finning etc and present this on the community day 

    Success Criteria : I can/have...

    • Identify the different spheres of the earth  
    • Describe the water cycle and discuss why it is important
    • Predict what would happen should man interfere with the water cycle 
    • Tabulate the differences between all the classes of Vertebrates and the invertebrates  
    • Discuss the differences  between ecosystems, communities and populations 
    • Discuss various habitats for a range of organisms 
    • Describe how adaptations help an organism survive in its particular habitat.
    • Successfully present an in-depth research project to the community during our Community day on 10 April 

    Activities:

    1. Google classroom tasks 
    2. Videos on the topic 
    3. Education perfect 
    4. Dissection activities 
    5. EOTC trip to Kelly Tarlton's on Friday 19 March 
    6. Waste collection trip on 24 February
