They are mammals.
Read more to find out how they adapt to its surrounding.

The Biggest Animals Kingdom and in The World | Wombat | Wombats burrow extensive system of rodents such as the front teeth and the claws. A characteristic of their adjustment is wombats the bag. The advantage of backward-facing bag, digging a wombat does not collect dirt in your bag for the young. Although in most dusk and at night, wombats and feed on cold or cloudy days. Wombats are herbivores and their diet consists mainly of grasses, sedges, grasses, bark and roots.

Wombats defend home territories for their dens, and they react aggressively to intruders. Common wombat is a range of up to 23 hectares (57 acres), while the hairy-nosed species have much shorter range, less than 4 hectares (10 acres). Tasmanian devils and Dingoes prey on wombats. When attacked, wombats dive in the next tunnel, using your body to block the attacker search. Wombats can allow an attacker to overcome the head back, and then use their strong legs to the skull of a predator hitting the ceiling of the tunnel or take him to the attacks on two legs "dumb."

APBL - Learning Issues

The learning Issues that we discussed:

-       How to keep prices low and affordable? (What can we do to achieve this aim?)
-       What are needed for farming? (Skills, knowledge, seeds, land area of 5PPS soccer field, …)
-       What are the skills for farming? (Planting, harvesting, or …)
-       What should we plant to feed the population of Singapore? (Check the types of crops, vegetables or plants that can be grown in Singapore – hint: the weather of Singapore is a factor, Type of soil in Singapore is also another factor, what are some other factors?)
-      How else can we get food besides importing them? (What do we import to Singapore? Can we grow our own plant/ crops/ food? Can we have fish farms, chicken farms in order to have our own fishes or chicken?)

Please pick one and complete your research within your groups.

Work as a team!

APBL

Hi Everyone,
Welcome back to a new term!


These might be useful when you are doing research .
Few websites that I came across that is related to farming in Singapore:

Kok Fah Technology Farm

Do you only have vegetables and fruits in your farm? Do you need some animals for their meat and milk?

Read these:
Hay Dairies Goat Farm
Click: Haydairies

Chicken Farm
Click: ChickenFarm

These websites are not all, please continue to research and get your ideas flowing!




Watch these videos and you may want to input some ideas into your project:
