AS 91190 (2.4): Investigate how Organisms Survive in an Extreme Environment
AS 91190 (2.4): Investigate how Organisms Survive in an Extreme Environment
In this unit we will explore adaptations that allow life to thrive in Earth's most challenging environments. From the crushing depths of the ocean to scorching deserts and icy polar regions, we'll investigate how organisms survive where conditions seem impossible.
AS 91187 (2.1): Carry out a Practical Investigation in an Earth Space Science Context
AS 91187 (2.1): Carry out a Practical Investigation in an Earth Space Science Context
This achievement standard involves carrying out a practical Earth and Space Science investigation, which involves:
Stating a purpose for the investigation
Developing a method that includes: the valid range for key variables how key variables are measured the management of other variables
The control of potential sources of error
The management of sampling bias
The reliable collection of raw data consistent with the chosen method
Recording and processing raw data relevant to the purpose interpreting the processed data to draw a conclusion related to the purpose of the investigation
Explaining how the Earth and Space Science links to the investigation
Explaining how the investigation method allowed for reliable data to be collected reporting on the investigation.
AS 91191 (2.5) Extreme Earth Events in Aotearoa - we are currently working on this. It is assessed externally and it worth 4 credits.
AS 91191 (2.5) Extreme Earth Events in Aotearoa - we are currently working on this. It is assessed externally and it worth 4 credits.
In this unit we will:
Explore why extreme earth events occur in New Zealand more frequently than in other parts of the world
Delve into the scientific principles that explain these natural hazards, by exploring the processes and the interactions between the geosphere, hydrosphere, and atmosphere and biosphere.
Gain the knowledge to understand the risks and appreciate the forces that have shaped and continue to shape our unique environment.
This topic is assessed externally and is worth 4 credits.
