Term 2 Week 12

Context: 

PLAN & DO / WHAKAMAHI learning intentions:

• We are PLANNING... so that we can… construct scientific diagram to demonstrate the carbon cycle.
• We are PLANNING... so that we can… present some of the causes and effects of carbon issues in our environment.
• We are PLANNING... so that we can… promote possible solution for improving carbon emission issues.

Success Criteria: (Students can...)

• draw a Venn diagram to show the difference between physical change and chemical change
• apply their knowledge of the state of matter in practical experiment of making ice-cream
• explain the main states of matter and the process involved in the changing states
• describe the carbon cycle and its processes using a scientific diagram
• build awareness and present their understanding of the importance of the carbon cycle and its environmental issues
