Curriculum overview for
teachers
Plant Heritage New Zealand covers many aspects of the
New Zealand curriculum and is presented in an integrated or holistic approach.
It is suited to content many students study in years 7-12. The book is
attractive and well designed with over 300 photos that enthuse students about
New Zealand nature.
Areas of the living world strand that the book is
ideally suited to include:
·
Relate key structural
features and functions to the life processes of plants, and investigate
environmental factors that affect these processes.
·
Investigate the impact of natural
events and human actions on aNew
Zealand ecosystem.
·
Identify the key
structural features and functions involved in the life processes of
plants.
·
Explore how the groups of living
things we have in the world have changed over long periods of time and
appreciate that some living things in
New Zealand
are quite different from
living things in other areas of the world.
For
senior secondary students Plant Heritage New Zealand is an ideal resource for
bush field trips and aids in plant identification.
The
book covers key content of the Achievement standard AS 90722
"Discuss the
factors and processes involved in the evolution of New Zealand ’s plants and animals".
The book also
presents the science concepts of botany and ecology in a student centred way, by
surrounding the plants with interesting and uniquely New Zealand stories.
Feedback from teachers of Maori has been positive as over 60 pepeha
and whakatauki pertaining to New Zealand native plants are explained and
translated to show a maori cultural uheritage of native plants. The section
"Te whakapapa o nga rakau". is an account of the creation of plants by
Tanemahuta mating with varoius named female personifications.
