This standard asks you to investigate how environments (especially places significant to Māori) are changing ecologically, and to explain the science behind those changes. You'll look at what's happening to plant and animal populations, food webs, and the natural features of the area, then explain what's causing those changes and what effects they have on Māori communities and the environment itself.
What to do, grades and common mistakes
What you actually do
- ·Identify and describe ecological changes in a place important to Māori (such as population increases or decreases, species invasions, changes in food chains, or habitat loss)
- ·Explain the ecological concepts that connect to these changes (like biomass, nutrient cycling, succession, or competition between species)
- ·Identify the causes of the changes you observe (for example: deforestation, introduced species, dam building, land-use changes, pollution, or wetland drainage)
- ·Discuss the impacts of these changes on Māori people, culture, tikanga, language, health and wellbeing, as well as the broader environment and economy
- ·Use scientific evidence and connection to whānau or hapū knowledge when describing and explaining the ecological changes
AAchieved
You describe what ecological changes are happening in the place and identify the ecological concepts involved, and you explain what is causing those changes.
