Through this unit children will begin to understand the concept of a habitat, how it provides organisms found there with conditions for life and how animals depend on plants or other animals which eat plants for food. Throughout the unit ways in which organisms are suited to the habitat should be emphasised.
Experimental and investigative work focuses on:
- turning ideas into a form that can be tested, making a prediction
- making observations
- deciding whether the evidence supports the prediction and suggesting explanations in terms of their knowledge of science.
Work in this unit also provides opportunities for children to learn about the interdependence of living things and how the environment and living things need to be protected.
This unit takes approximately 12 hours.
