Ancient Greek Olympic Research Challenge

LI: To use our smart searching skills to help us explore the Ancient Olympic games                                    LI: To work collaboratively in groups as an active participant and contributor.

Our challenge was to work in our groups to carry out a collaborative inquiry into the ancient olympic games. We used our smart searching skills to help us find the answer to the questions. Our group worked well, because we all contributed to the slides and made sure that each and every one of us were on track and no one was clueless. Something I found interesting was that in the most violent game (Pankration), only had 2 rules. No eye gouging and biting. I also found out the different types of games they played like wrestling, boxing, and even chariot racing! Unfortunately, only Greek male were able to partcipate. But soon, the Heraean Games were held for women to participate.

I enjoyed this activity because I learnt many interesting facts about the ancient Olympic games.

Information Report – Bengal Swamp Tigers

L.I: To write an information report that informs the reader about the Swamp Tigers

We used our smart searching skills to find facts about the Bengal Swamp Tiger. Once we had found the information we needed, we made notes in our own words. We used these notes to help us write our information reports. Information Reports give readers information on a chosen topic by providing them facts.

 

Swamp Tigers

Swamp Tigers, also known as Panthera Tigris Tigris, are located in the Sundarbans, the largest mangrove forest in the world. Not many people know that these vicious animals are endangered because as pollution deforestation and city expansion becomes more common, it takes away the natural habitat of animals.

These beasts have vigorous jaws and acuminate incisors, giving them advantages, like being able to shred their prey into pieces. They are Muscular and are Colossal in size, making them able to pounce onto their target. Because of their orange fur and black stripes, they are capable of camouflaging into their environment. A full grown male weighs around 300 kgs, and a fully grown female weighs about 225 kg. Did you know that their height can vary from 2.7 – 3 metres?

The diet of a Swamp Tiger consists of meat only. Making them a Carnivore (solely meat eaters). They are solitary and nocturnal hunters, meaning that they hunt on their own, and at night. Their meals are scarce, which means that they are hard to find. They have adapted to their habitats and have included marine life into their diet. Their meals vary from crabs, reptiles, turtles, deer, wild boar, fish and even humans.

The Bengal Swamp Tiger inhabits the continent of Asia, throughout the border of India and Bangladesh. Sundarbans, where they are located, is a mangrove forest with tidal waves surrounding. Unfortunately, the habitat is being wrecked from deforestation and natural disasters.

Did you know that Swamp Tigers are very territorial? That means that they guard and defend their territory. Because they live around aquatic areas, it enables them to have exceptional swimming skills. Did you know that they can swim up to 8 km?

Surprisingly, these brutal animals are vulnerable and endangered. In the future, we have to think about the effects that city expansion causes. Don’t you think so too?

Swamp Tigers

L.I: To create a multi modal DLO that tells others about Swamp Tigers.

Our challenge was to make an Information Report about Swamp Tigers. To be able to write about it though, we had to do research about Swamp Tigers. We wrote about its Appearance, Diet, Habitat, and its Behaiviour. Did you know that Swamp Tigers can run 40 mph! The Appearance of a Swamp Tiger is useful for camouflaging. Camouflaging is blending in with the surrounding. A Swamp Tiger is a Carnivore, meaning that their diet consists of only meat. Their food is scarce, meaning hard to find. Swamp Tigers are solitary hunters. Solitary means on its own. Did you know that the Habitat of Swamp Tigers is the largest Mangrove forest in the world! It’s located in Sundarbans. Unfortunately, it has had some damage caused to its environment because as humans are expanding cities, they are also taking away the natural habitats of animals. Swamp Tigers are very territorial, meaning that they defend and guard their territory. They are exceptional swimmers, and can swim up to 8km!

I enjoyed this activity because I learnt how to accept and reject facts, and I learnt how Information Reports are structured.

This activity was interesting because I now know what Copyright and Attribution means.

Kawa of Care Quest

To become a Kawa of care champion you must get every single question correct or its over, and you’ll need to restart. If you are trying to become a Kawa of Care Champion, you must understand how to take care of a chromebook because most of the questions are about the basics of how to handle a chromebook. One of the questions I got wrong was where to charge the Chromebook because I thought that it would be A. But it’s actually C because it so that no one would accidently trip over the charging cord.

This activity was very fun and simple. It was quite quick to do compared to the rest of the challenges.
