Lenses

A lens is a custom view of the content in the repository. You can think of it as a fancy kind of list that will let you see content through the eyes of organizations and people you trust.

What is in a lens?

Lens makers point to materials (modules and collections), creating a guide that includes their own comments and descriptive tags about the content.

Who can create a lens?

Any individual member, a community, or a respected organization.

ACTIVITY 6: To distinguish living organisms from non-living things [LO2.1]

A STUDY OF A FEW INVERTEBRATES

We will now look at a few examples of the invertebrates in greater detail.

Remember that we will look particularly at the manner in which they are adapted to be able to survive in their environment (the ecosystem).

Can you remember what characteristics of living organisms distinguish them from non-living things?

Write them down below:

You will agree that if we want to study an animal in its habitat (in the ecosystem), we will have to look at these characteristics in particular.

ASSESSMENT

Learning Outcome 2:The learner will know and be able to interpret and apply scientific, technological and environmental knowledge.

Assessment Standard 2.1: We know this when the learner recalls meaningful information (at least definitions and complex facts).
