How Selfish Are Plants? Let’s Do Some Root Analysis
A new model further untangles the complex strategy games playing out under our feet. Imagine you’re a pepper plant. You need water and nutrients. Luckily, you can grow roots that grab that stuff from the soil and pipe it back to you. So far, so good. There’s just one problem. Your neighbor — also a pepper plant — needs the same things. There’s only so much to go around. What’s your move?

Pitfall traps – monitoring ground-dwelling insects – SLH STUDENT ACTIVITY
Pitfall traps are simply containers dug into the ground so the top of the container is level with the ground. Sometimes a small roof can be erected over the trap to keep rain out. Insects that are active on the ground are caught by falling into the trap, from which they cannot escape. Scientists often use pitfall traps to create an inventory of the insects present in an area.

Yellow pan traps – monitoring flying insects – SLH STUDENT ACTIVITY
Insect vision is quite different to human vision, but insects do see colours, and they use their colour vision to get around and find food. We can exploit their preference for different colours in order to catch them to study their biology or monitor their abundance and diversity.

Bee friendly insecticides – SLH T&L RESOURCE (AND RNZ PODCAST)
Peter Dearden describes honey bees as the most important insects on Earth because of the role they play as pollinators. But bees are in trouble worldwide. In New Zealand, the main threat is the varroa mite, which has decimated feral bee colonies throughout the country, but bees are also unintentional targets of the chemicals we use to control insect pests that can damage crops.

Low-flammability garden saves home — ARTICLE
Scientists Tim Curran (Lincoln University), Sarah Wyse (University of Auckland) and George Perry (University of Auckland) assessed the flammability of a variety of exotic and native plant species in New Zealand. Their research has provided scientific evidence of plants that could be used to protect homes in bushfires.

Create a lizard-friendly habitat
In this activity, students have the opportunity to create a lizard-friendly habitat in the school grounds. The extension activity involves designing a suitable environment for keeping lizards in captivity. By the end of this activity, students should be able to: * describe the basic survival needs of lizards * identify key components of a lizard-friendly habitat * understand threats to lizards in New Zealand and some of the possible solutions.
