Ecology and Hydrology

This term we'll look at the animal world, how we classify them, the habitats they live in, and the way they have adapted to them. We'll look at the relationships between them and the webs they form. 

You'll have the opportunity to research the adaptions and environment of your favourite animal. It would be lovely if this were an NZ animal - however it should be your favourite, so you'll feel confident presenting it to the class.

Then we'll also look at the water cycle - and it's consequences for life on Earth.

On Mondays Michelle will concentrate on nutrition. How do different organisms gain the energy and nutrients needed to carry out their day to day lives? We'll look at fungi, bacteria and of course mammals.
