Content Focus:
Stage 2 of the Living World strand focuses on the classification, life cycles and survival of living things. Students consider the agricultural processes used to grow plants and raise animals. Students design and produce a product or system to support the growth of a plant and/or animal.
Skills Focus:
Working Scientifically:
Planning and Conducting Investigations -
|
Design and Production:
Identifying and defining
|
Inquiry and Focus Questions:
Classification of living things -
How can we group living things? Students:
Life cycles of living things -
What are the similarities and differences between the life cycles of living things? Students:
Survival of living things
How are environments and living things interdependent? Students:
- birds eat and disperse seeds |
Producing food and fibre from living things
How do we create food and fibre products from animals and plants? Students:
- autonomous vehicles to harvest crops compared to manual harvesting processes
- follow a recipe step by step - measure and mix dry ingredients
- a chicken coop - a watering system |
