Te whakahāngai huatau koiora ki tētahi rauropi whakahirahira ki te Māori
This standard asks you to explain how Māori knowledge and practices connect to biological concepts and processes in a taonga species (a plant or animal important to Māori). You need to describe what Māori do with that species and link it to relevant biology ideas like adaptation, reproduction, and feeding.
You correctly identify Māori practices linked to a significant species and clearly explain which biological concepts apply to that species.
You compare Māori knowledge and practices to scientific understanding, showing similarities and differences, and you explain the connection between what Māori do and why the species behaves or survives that way.
You analyse the wider impacts of Māori practices across cultural, environmental, scientific, and economic dimensions, and you discuss the values or ethical principles that underpin Māori knowledge and practices.
