  • Success Criteria: I can/have...

    • Design and build a boat that can carry different cargo by calculating the density of different materials

    Activities:

    1. Literacy: Waka origins and designs reading and answer questions in class
    2. Hands-on activity: Designing boats and figure out how to make them carry larger loads 
    3. Numeracy: calculating density (first in an interactive programme and then applying it to your boat) 

    Density = mass / volume

    Units

    Density g/mL ..... Mass g ..... Volume mL 

    Homework:
    You should have make your first prototypes, calculated their density and be ready to share your findings on Tuesday next week.

    EXPLORE / TŪHURA

    EXPLORE / TŪHURA learning intentions:

    • We are EXPLORING boats by experimenting and observing how different boat designs are suited for purpos
    • We are EXPLORING how boats move by calculating and investigating forces
