What did you learn about Rhinos? What is their Appearance/Description? What is the their Dynamics or Behaviour like?  What is their habitat like? What are some other interesting facts about Rhinos?

At the end of our ‘Survival on Earth’ unit in Term 2, we chose questions that we wanted to research further. We came up with some amazing questions and we demonstrated what we learnt in many ways such as creating dioramas, graphs, models, posters, PowerPoints and more. Below are some photos of our incredible work. We had a lot of fun research our own topics and we learnt a lot! Stay tuned for more photos soon!

Jewel’s research question: Which animal lives the longest?

Kenny’s Research Question: Do any cactus’ help human survive?

Dat’s Research Question: How do the MegaMouth Shark’s Survive

Tina’s Research Question: How does the sun keep humans alive?

Levi’s Research Question: How do Sharks survive?

Kev’s Research Question: How do Spiders survive?

Andy’s Research Question: What animals survived the extinction of dinosaurs?

Jenny’s Research Question: How do turtles survive?

HERE ARE MORE OF OUR AMAZING RESEARCH PROJECTS!!

This term, in Integrated Studies our topic is ‘Survival on Earth’. We started our unit with a WOW activity. First we watched an awesome episode of Man vs Wild. Next, we read a news article that told us that Bear Grylls had been FIRED and we could apply for his job. In order to apply for the job the ‘producers’ asked that we work with a team in order to identify items from different habitats and sort them into the correct habitats such as: the arctic, desert, rainforest and ocean habitats. We worked very quickly to sort everything and match it to its correct habitat. Many of us made the mistake of matching the penguin with the arctic habitat but we learnt a few interesting things during this activity like, penguins are only found in the antarctic, NOT the arctic. We also learnt that there isn’t always snow in the arctic. Something we also learnt after we completed our activity was that Bear Grylls was not actually fired and we weren’t able to apply for his job. ‘Oh well’ we thought, we really enjoyed this WOW activity anyways!!

What questions do you have, that you would like to learn about our topic ‘How to Survive on Earth?’
