ELEMENTARY SCIENCE ACTIVITIES FOR WEEK 3-5

CONSERVATION:

The protection and safeguarding of

ourenvironment for the future generation is

everyone’s responsibility.

All living things depend on one another for

their survival.

For example, we depend on the plants for

oxygen and food while plants depend on the

carbon dioxide we breathe out for their food.

To control this problem of reducing waste in

the classroom, students can sort their rubbish

in school and dispose them using the proper

ways of rubbish disposal.

One of the excellent ways of reducing rubbish

that goes into rivers by reusing bottles and

plastics.

Planting more trees can also bring in more

varieties of birds and insect to nest and feed.

Conserving our environment means safeguarding

the habitats of numerous plants and animals in Fiji

through replanting programmes especially the

mangroves, trees that have been cut.

The wetlands and oceans need to be safeguarded by

introducing traditional and cultural practices such as

taboo to areas of fishing when a chiefly family head is

deceased and guardians of the sea such as Gonedau

(fish folks) carryout their functions effectively.

ACTIVITY

You understand the enormity of endangered species

of Fiji, it becomes our responsibility to try and

protect them from becoming extinct.

1. Can you suggest some ways that would help to

conserve and protect our endangered species?

2. State what will you do to reduce waste in the

classroom.

HEALTNY LIVING ACTIVITIES FOR WEEK 3-5

DRUGS

A drug is a substance which may have medicinal,

intoxicating, performance enhancing or other effects when

taken or put into a human body and is not considered a

food or exclusively a food.

Prescribed drugs are those issued by the doctor to cure a

particular sickness, for example; antibiotics.

Over the counter drugs are those that can be bought

without the doctor‘s prescription, for example; panadol.

Drugs on general sale also risk being overused` Illegal drugs

are drugs that are not allowed by the government to be used

by its people.

An example of an illegal drug in Fiji is marijuana.
