This week in UOI students have been collecting their items for their habitat models. Alongside these models, students will have to do a presentation next week. Students have been researching the following questions in class.
1. What does your habitat look like? features for your model? Think of materials need and plan your model.
2. What plants and animals and non-living things are found in the habitat?
3. What adaptations do the living things in the environment have?
4. Name some positive and negative human actions on the habitat.
5. How can we sustain your habitat and the planet?
We have a number of unit books and videos that we have looked at to help them gather the necessary information.
