Practise — check a common mix-up
Plants get food from soil.
Removing a predator helps the ecosystem.
Apply / Create — Habitat Survey Report
Sample a habitat with quadrats, record species, draw a food web and recommend one change to protect it, with data.
Evidence type: experiment record · accessible alternative always allowed (speak it, draw it, or show an adult).
How it is judged (rubric)
- Beginning: Lists species
- Developing: Table + simple chain
- Secure: Sampling method, data, food web, justified recommendation
- Extending: Evaluates sampling reliability
