🎯 WALT & Success Criteria

WALT (We Are Learning To): Analyse the impact of modern human practices on native ecosystems in Aotearoa New Zealand.

Success Criteria - I can:

Identify at least two impacts of modern practices on ecosystems

Discuss these impacts using evidence from case studies

Propose a realistic solution to an ecological issue

🌿 Part 1: Impact Identification

1. From your case study analysis, what modern practice did your group examine?

2. What is the main impact of this practice on New Zealand ecosystems?

Loss of native habitat

Water pollution

Introduction of invasive species

Soil degradation

Other: ________________

3. Which native New Zealand species are most affected by this practice? List two examples:

Species 1: _______________________

Species 2: _______________________

4. Explain how this impact affects the ecosystem's food web:

5. Choose one ecosystem impact discussed today. What realistic solution would you propose?

Impact chosen: _________________________________

6. How would your solution benefit both the ecosystem and local communities?

7. Extension Challenge: How could mātauranga Māori (traditional Māori knowledge) help address this environmental issue?

8. Rate your confidence in explaining ecosystem impacts to others:

Very confident - I can teach others

Confident - I understand the main ideas

Somewhat confident - I need more practice

Not confident - I need more support
