Biological Evolution: Unity and Diversity
Biological Evolution: Unity and Diversity
We are currently learning about Biological Evolution: Unity and Diversity. In this unit we will looking at characterics of different types of animals: mammals, reptiles, amphibians, birds, insects and fish. We will study living vs nonliving things and the needs of living things. We will then investigate the habitats of plants and animals and look at how those habitats meet the needs of the plants and animals that live in them.
