G2 - Introducing living things

 Biodiversity

I have observed and recorded some features of living things which allows me to place them in groups. Using this information I can sort living and non living things into groups giving reasons for my decisions.

    
SCN 103B

G2 - Introducing living things

 Biodiversity
I can help design experiments to find out what plants need in order to grow and develop. I can observe and record my findings and from what I have learned I can grow healthy plants in school. Growing plants - PIPS2 Video
