    PLAN & DO / WHAKAMAHI

    PLAN & DO / WHAKAMAHI learning intentions:

    • We are PLANNING... so that we can … apply our knowledge of weather, erosion, and deposition for our Year-9 outing, collaborating to perform an onsite scientific observation of the river system in order to analyse the hauora of the river.
    • We are PLANNING... so that we can… present our river analysis of the river erosion study from our Year-9 outing.


    Success Criteria: (Students can...)

    (field study and onsite observation; applying what they have learned in class) 

    • identify the main types of weathering and erosion, and describe how they are formed
    • compare and contrast weathering and erosion
    • describe the effects of weathering and erosion, and make connections to deposition; especially river erosion, linking to the context of Hauora and the Great Outdoors
    • discuss the importance of plants to soil and erosion to our landscape, e.g. riverbanks.
