Your whakapapa
While whakapapa is about the recitation of genealogy – lineage or ancestry – it also literally means to ‘place in layers’ or ‘create a base’. It places our people in a wider context, linking us to a common ancestor, our ancestral land, our waterways and our tribal (and sub-tribal) groupings. Hence, the literal translation fits with the broader meaning of ancestry and the expansive nature of its ‘layers’.

Reinforce your learning:
1. Build a digestive system HERE. 2.Here is a great ANIMATION. 3. A great little READ. |
MILK
The milk industry produces in excess of 840 million tons of products each year. Why do humans drink so much milk? And given that all mammals lactate, why do we favor certain types of milk over others? Jonathan J. O’Sullivan describes how milk is made. Watch: The Science of MILK. What are the main functions of the digestive system? The function of the digestive system is digestion and absorption. Digestion is the breakdown of food into small molecules, which are then absorbed into the body. Thedigestive system is divided into two major parts: The digestive tract (alimentary canal) is a continuous tube with two openings: the mouth and the anus. |
The Heart

Ever heard the terms heart throb, heart attack, heart-to-heart? What are some other phrases that contain the word heart?
respiratory system
The human respiratory system is a series of organs responsible for taking in oxygen and expelling carbon dioxide. The primary organs of the respiratory system are lungs, which carry out this exchange of gases as we breathe.

What are the function of the skeletal system?
The adult human skeletal system consists of 206 bones, as well as a network of tendons, ligaments and cartilage that connects them. The skeletal system performs vital functions — support, movement, protection, blood cell production, calcium storage and endocrine regulation — that enable us to survive.

sexual reproduction- fertilisation
Is it a boy or a girl?
TWINS- Such an interesting topic for study- Check this out:
We are the same but different
.The roles of our DNA is to carry the instructions to the next generation and determining phenotype
We are the same species and each contain 46 chromosomes in our body cells and therefore 23 chromosomes in our gametes (se cells), BUUUT why do we each look different?
Our whakapapa is different? Who contributed to our genetic make up is different BUT I still look different from my siblings (if you have some!)....why is that?
