Learner Thinking - Inquiry questions:
How did Surtsey form? Develop a timeline of events on the island.
Explore the various resources here to help find dates and times.
Please ensure the Surtsey timeline shows your understanding of succession by including information on what arrived, when and how it arrived and the conditions that enabled it to be established on the island (e.g good soil conditions, a food source, nesting conditions etc)
Performance Thinking - YOUR ISLAND TASKS:
