Living things and their habitats - 'Name that Living things'
We are developing our knowledge and skills to become experts in the use of classification keys to help group, identify and name a variety of living things.
First we learned about the 7 characteristics of a living thing (MRS NERG/MRS GREN).
Next we went on a habitat hunt to find living things (animals and plants) in the school grounds.
We carefully looked at features of the living things we found in the school grounds. We learned to be able to classify and identify the livings found we needed to ask questions. From this we make a branching database to sort and identify the invertebrates.
We learned how for centuries scientists have used careful and detailed drawing to better understand living things. Charles Darwin a very famous scientist helped to better understand living things from around the world. Although sketches and notes are still made by scientists, the artist Levon Biss is using modern technology, to capture the spectacular detail.
