Notes

All living things have a surface that acts as a boundary between their insides and the outside world. “fur, Feathers, and Bark” looks at the variety of forms that this surface takes, and the ways in which these coverings help their owners to fit into the environment. Building Science Concepts is a series of science resource units for different curriculum levels. A distinctive feature of each book is the ‘concept overview’, located on the inside cover. This sets out the progressive concepts that build towards the ‘big ideas’. The books are linked to the achievement aims of levels 1 to 4 of “Science in the New Zealand Curriculum”. Each book also includes background science notes for teachers as well as suggested student activities.
