= Term one topic = =Deforestation = =Walt:I can explain how humans have change the environment through deforestation. =  I can identify some solution to deforestation that is taking to account the stream ecosystem and human needs. We have cleaned much of the forest that covered Aotearoa to create farm cities,towns. Most of our remaining forests are found in mountain areas.

The streams used to be a cammbe (covered with lots of shade and it was a good living place for animals to live in.) The leaves and trees provided food for water animals. The roots + rocks stop erosion around the water. The streams used to protected by forests. The water was cool,clean & filled with oxygen. Cutting down our trees has create sediment in to the water so now we have dirty water,less food,less animals & less oxygen. Deforestation = erosion = stream death!!

 ☀How do you breathe in a stream?☀

☀Walt:- We are learning to identify the different ways Aquatic animals breathe. ☀All animals need to take a oxygen some how & to release carbon dioxide ☀Fish use gills:- they take the water in to their mouth & over their body with carbon dioxide goes out with the water. Most insects breathe through holes in their body called spiracles.

☀Some jeuveill have gills that take oxygen from the water.example:- cased cased fly ☀Some jeuvifed insects have a siphon so they can get oxygen from the water.
