Weekly Update


What an AMAZING  day we had yesterday at OELC. I was so proud of our class and how well they represented our school. Thank you to all our wonderful parent volunteers. 

Science: We are returning back to our biodiversity unit for a couple of weeks. Students will be doing a mini research activity about one of the classes of the animal kingdom. (See outline below)

Grade 6 Biodiversity Science Project

RESEARCH PROJECT:  Choose a class of the animal kingdom that you would be interested in researching (vertebrate or invertebrate)

Your project must include the following information  

1)     Common characteristics it shares with other animals in its class (e.g . identify whether it is a bird, fish, reptile, amphibian or mammal and list their characteristics)
2)     Choose two species within that class:  scientific name, habitat, food, appearance
3)     Identify at least 3 adaptations of your animal (special features or behaviour and how it helps that living thing survive in its habitat, e.g. webbed feet, fur)
4)     Biodiversity: How this species contributes to the diversity of life (positively or negatively)
5)     Human Activity: How does human activity impact on the survival of your animal?
6)     Your own choice:  Choose another aspect of your animal to research (e.g. position in a food chain, other interesting facts, etc.)
