Food Chains

In Thursday's Science lesson we looked at Food chains. A food chain starts with the producer, a living object that produces the energy for the food chain to get started. There is then the prey, an animal that is eaten by a carnivore or omnivore to get its energy. Finally there will be the predator, the animal that gets or hunts for its prey to obtain energy, live and survive.

If you look through our, the humans' food chain, I can say that all humans are grass eaters. What do you think I mean?

Habitat Walk

Today, Highover's class 4 went on a habitat walk around our school. Children found 40 some more than 50 habitats around our school. My question to you is why did you put the habitats on your list in your list? What do you think might live in the habitat you listed? Why do you think that animal or plant would 'habit' there?

Capacity

We have been looking at capacity this week. What is it the measurement of? So what might I use to measure capacity? What is the unit of measurement? Do I measure it in centimetres? I was really impressed with the way the children checked the scale of the measuring tools before filling it with water to make sure that the data they recorded was accurate. Good job troopers! What tools have you got at home that measure capacity?
