The first peoples principles of learning, the first principle I have chosen is, learning involves generational roles and responsibilities. Everyday we are constantly learning new things, from the things around us and the people around us. Our parents taught us how to walk and talk and how to act in a respectful and responsible way. As children we learn by watching those around us. Our parents have the biggest influence on us, there responsibility as parents is to take care of us and to teach us how to behave and to provide a safe and educational home and community.

In the ecosystems there is a food chain, this food chain allows the survival of plants and animals. Without it they would die of hunger or the world would become over populated with the same species. Birds and mammals  learn just like humans, for generations they have been taught by there parents how to survive in the wild. A baby birds parents teaches them how to fly and how to get there food. If they don’t fulfil their responsibilities that can have an effect on everything else. If a young fox doesn’t learn to hunt for it’s food it won’t be able to survive on it’s own and it’s prey would over populate and the fox would starve.

The second principle I have chosen is learning involves patience and time. From a young age, we learn to be patient, at school we learn that not everything in life is given to us and that we have to work and be patient for the things that we want. With the experiments that we are doing right now, depending on the experiment, we will have to wait before we will start to see any results. If you were to conduct an experiment on a plant, for example, seeing if a plant watered with milk or with water would have on effect on the way the plant grows or lives, that experiment could take time and you would have to be patient in order to receive the best possible results.

The different cycles in the ecosystem also take time and in order for the cycles to work, we have to be patient. Each element of the cycles rely’s on the others to work as a whole, each cycle takes time and can’t be rushed. We need these cycles to survive and we have to be patient and let nature take control to insure the well being of our planet.
