Term 1 SOLO Taxonomy Topic- Living Things

Our focus in term 1 has been on living things. Part of this was looking at the life processes of living things and why these are so important. We focused our time looking at the Tuatara, investigating the living porcesses that enable them to live their life here in Aotearoa. To do this, we used the MRS GREN acronym: M-ovement, R-eproduction, S-ensitivity, G-rowth, R-espiration, E-xtretion and N-utrition.

SOLO Level	Comment- Kenai, Brodie, Jaden and Salman
Multistructural/Relational	Boys, I have marked you between multistructural and relational because most areas of MRS GREN have been explained using ‘because’ statements, to give more detail and explanation, however other areas are very brief with no explanation. Next Step: Give several ideas for each area and ensure that you are giving clear explanation about why these occur or why they are important to the Tuatara.
