Student's Inquiry - Biodiversity

The children in Room 13 will be undertaking an inquiry to learn about biodiversity. The children have been looking at books and watching informative documentaries about New Zealand's animals, plants and invasive species. The children have now had a lesson to explore what they would like to learn about and present in class. These are some of the questions that students have chosen:

How has the environment changed the animals? (Davin)

How can we save New Zealand;s native species? (Max)

Why is biodiversity significant in New Zealand? (Claudia and Faith)

If Zealandia really sank, why are some of New Zealand's animals older than the land? (Max)

What is the most dominant invasive species and why? (Caleb)

What are the threats to biodiversity? (Sam)

What impact does humans have on biodiversity? (Jamie)

How does biodiversity benefit human health? (Ella)

How far can we trace back in New Zealand's history? (Meg)

How was New Zealand formed and what makes New Zealand unique? (Liam)

How did the animals of New Zealand arrive and survive Zealandia and its sinking? (Samuel)
