 It is exposed to sunlight and is very humid. Food is present throughout the year as there are many animals which are a source of food and plants grow plentiful in the area. Water might not be available during the dry season as it may dry up quickly due to the hot weather. Air, as always, would be plentiful. Giraffes ,lions, antelope,buffalo, Elephants, rhinos, zebras, leopards,hyenas and many more.The zebras feed on the grass and lions feed on deer.]]> 2017-03-24 06:50:58 UTC https://padlet.com/lin_huiting/sjoaz2vltp2m/wish/162322344 Adrianna, Zennith, Xavier,Heidi https://padlet.com/lin_huiting/sjoaz2vltp2m/wish/162322484 Seashore Habitat
There is abundant source of water. The environment is exposed to sunlight and is warm. 

The organisms found there are the ghost crabs, sea snails and turtles (green turtles for example). There are also trees and shrubs that also serve as coastal defenses. (There are threats to the seashore animals too. Pollution, litter, disrupting the nests, climate change)

Some non-living things found in the seashore habitat are rocks or gravels and also the dead corals washed up to the shore

Interactions observed on the seashore: ghost crabs burrowing into the sand. ]]> 2017-03-24 06:52:45 UTC https://padlet.com/lin_huiting/sjoaz2vltp2m/wish/162322484 Valerie, Isabel, Yu Jing, Zavier https://padlet.com/lin_huiting/sjoaz2vltp2m/wish/162322494 Desert Habitat
The dessert is a very dry and hot place.The dessert is also exposed to a huge amount of sunlight on a daily basis. Water is normally not available there as the place is too hot for water to even drop there, and even if there is water, it evaporates very quickly. The organisms living there have adapted to the hot conditions. 
There are a lot of birds in that habitat which are able to not drink water for a long period of time.There are a lot of cacti in that place and they can survive there without water too. 
The place is covered mostly in sand. The birds will dig a hole into the cactus and they will live inside the cactus.  Food is available as there are a lot of animals living there.

The tree habitat is exposed to sunlight. The temperature is warm and air is abundant while water is scarce as it depends on the rain. Food is available as the plants provide food for the animals living in the tree habitat. Other animals like birds can also feed on the insects there. 

The living things in the tree habitat are the trees, other plants like creepers growing on the tree and insects like ants, bees, butterflies as well as birds.

The non-living things found in the habitat are rocks and soil.

Interactions in the habitat: Lots of creeper plants rely on the tree branch for support to get sunlight and to grow.]]> 2017-03-24 06:53:31 UTC https://padlet.com/lin_huiting/sjoaz2vltp2m/wish/162322537 Yi Ting, Kylie, Jasper, Rachael https://padlet.com/lin_huiting/sjoaz2vltp2m/wish/162322596 Wetland
The environment is exposed to sunlight so it is very bright and humid. The temperature is high during the dry season while the temperature is about 24 degree Celsius during the wet season. There is also an abundance of air but very low oxygen in the muddy waters. There is also plenty of water in the lakes.
The examples of animals that are present are crocodiles and insects that fly around the vegetation.]]> 2017-03-24 06:54:26 UTC https://padlet.com/lin_huiting/sjoaz2vltp2m/wish/162322596 https://padlet.com/lin_huiting/sjoaz2vltp2m/wish/162322636 2017-03-24 06:55:17 UTC https://padlet.com/lin_huiting/sjoaz2vltp2m/wish/162322636 Yew Kiat, Nicole, Hee Jae, Eizl, Christian https://padlet.com/lin_huiting/sjoaz2vltp2m/wish/162322698 Polar region habitat
In the polar region, there was completely no sun. The animals are withstanding the extreme cold weather.The average temperature each month is about 10 degree celscius. there is cool air there, the sea is the water source for the organisms in the polar region and they mostly feed on each other. E.g. the polar bear eats the fishes. There are mostly polar bears in that region,together with seals,whales,sea lions,wolves,owls,reindeer and walruses.]]> 2017-03-24 06:56:07 UTC https://padlet.com/lin_huiting/sjoaz2vltp2m/wish/162322698 Isabel, Zavier, YuJing and Valerie https://padlet.com/lin_huiting/sjoaz2vltp2m/wish/162322954 Desert habitat
The desert is very hot and dry place which is exposed to sunlight. The temperature there is at least 60 degrees Celsius. The animals that live there are desert foxes, lizards and wolves. Most of them are cold-blooded animals. At night, birds create holes into cactus to live inside and keep themselves warm..

The seashore is exposed to sunlight and the temperature is quite warm there.There are many animals living there so the predators would have many different kinds of food to eat.The air there is fresh. Some of the living things there are the ghost crabs, the hermit crabs,sea snails,sea turtles, hawksbill turtle and the green turtles.The non living things there are the rubbish there the visitors that come here throw and the sea waves that are present. We observe that the crabs dig tunnels as a secret safety feature and the hermit crabs roaming along the shoreline to enjoy the leftovers of the dead animals. ]]> 2017-03-27 05:03:21 UTC https://padlet.com/lin_huiting/sjoaz2vltp2m/wish/162697148 Sherman, Peter, Vernice, Jia Qi lin_huiting https://padlet.com/lin_huiting/sjoaz2vltp2m/wish/162719605 Coral reef Habitat
Coral Reefs are one of the most diverse ecosystems.
The corals are not directly exposed to sunlight as they are under water.
Corals are made out of million of carnivorous animals called polyps. They live in a group. There are also algae living inside the corals. The temperature of the sea water fluctuates and sea temperature rise can cause coral bleaching.
Fishes living there: Butterfly fish, parrot fish, grouper, angelfish, damselfish, wrasse, trumpet fish, puffers
and soldier fish]]> 2017-03-27 07:41:25 UTC https://padlet.com/lin_huiting/sjoaz2vltp2m/wish/162719605 Chloe, Justin, Shyamalan, Kethy lin_huiting https://padlet.com/lin_huiting/sjoaz2vltp2m/wish/162719774 Coral reef Habitat

There is not a lot of water available so most of the plants and animals whose habitat is the desert store water in their bodies when they drink.
The predators feed on other prey and prey feed on the plants which make their food from the sun.
There are hyenas, rabbits, cactus, moon flower and salamanders.
The non-living things present are sand and rocks.
Interaction: The salamanders walk on the rocks and hyenas walk on the sand. Rabbits drink water from the oasis too.]]> 2017-03-27 07:48:36 UTC https://padlet.com/lin_huiting/sjoaz2vltp2m/wish/162721036
