Year 3,
Soon you will be going on an excursion to look at different types of environments.
Before you go...lets look at some of the words that you might use on your trip.
EROSION
What is erosion?
Erosion happens when rocks and
sediments are picked up and moved
to another place by ice, water, wind
or gravity
.
Conservation
Conservation is the protection of things found in nature. It is the sensible use of all Earth's natural resources: water, soil, minerals, wildlife, and forests.
People who care about conservation try to preserve natural resources so they will still be around in the future.

HABITAT
A habitat is the home of an animal or a plant.
Almost every place on Earth—from the hottest desert to the coldest ice pack—is a habitat for some kinds of animals and plants. Most habitats include a community of animals and plants along with water, oxygen, soil or sand, and rocks.

Flora
Flora means all plant life
Fauna
All the animal life
Endangered
An animal that is endangered is close to extinction — meaning there aren't very many of that type of animal left in the world.
EXPERIMENT
