THE STAR WORLD IS FULL OF DIFFERENT CREATURES. ARE YOU READY TO LEARN ABOUT THEM?
Hello Young Padawans. I´m Luke Skywaklker and I will accompany you along the first course. The first planet we are visiting is KashyYygk.
Planet KashyYygk is full of big trees and dense jungles where many species live on. Care must be taken since some of them are very dangerous.
Would you help me investigate what creature they belong to?
I also have some new creatures I would like to classify. Would you help me doing that, too?
Thank you!
This is what you can observe by looking at the sample through the microscope
TASK 1: Take notes in your notebook answering these questions:
-
What is it?
-
What components can you distinguish?
-
Does it belong to an animal or to a plant? How do you know it?
Then, draw a pictogram to show how creatures are internally organized.
You'll get 20 XP by completing this task.
Apart from their inner organization, creatures are organized into five big groups. These groups, as in the KASHYYYK world are called kingdoms. LUKE needs some information to classify creatures found in thIS Planet.
TASK 2: Investigate and learn about the characteristics of the different groups and cooperate with your housemates to elaborate a paper with them.
Then, have a look at the creatures LUKE has found in the Planet and help him classify them into the five kingdoms
.
You'll get 20 XP by completing this task.
EXTRA TASK: What about viruses? Do they belong to any of the studied kingdoms? Investigate about them and share your findings with your housemates.
You'll get 10 extra XP if you give the right answer and if you complete the following mindmap with the information learnt in this chapter.
