A non-chronological report on geckos

This non-chronological report for year 3 and P4, linking to the topics of living things and habitats and biodiversity and interdependence, investigates these super climbing lizards. The text explains that they are nocturnal, how they protect themselves from predators, what they eat and how engineers are trying to harness what they have learnt about how they climb to design robots that can pick up smooth objects.
