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- Poker and Mighty
Uni/Multistructural	I have put you boys between unistructural and multistructural because for many of your life processes you only have one idea, however others you have explained briefly why these occur. Next Step: To develop your thinking, I would like to see you come up with several ideas for each section and then try to explain why these occur.
