22 February - 28 February

EXPLORE / TŪHURA learning intentions:

• We are EXPLORING the hydrosphere of the earth and investigating the importance of this sphere on life on earth
• We are EXPLORING the physical property of water by investigating melting point boiling point and freezing point
• We are EXPLORING the use of various shape sails by experimenting, measuring and calculating.
• We are EXPLORING the chemical properties of water and how various elements react with it, with practical investigations

Learning Intentions :  We are learning to (WALT)...

• Identify the major spheres of the Earth 
• Label & Describe the water cycle and the importance of water to life on earth  
• Describe the "particle model of matter" stating how this explains the 3 phases of water 
• Investigate the melting point freezing point and boiling point of water 
• Investigate the solubility of solutions and how to measure different concentrations 
• Look at wind and sails and how a boat moves through water using the wind 
• Investigate different size and shaped hulls of boats through experimentation 

• Success Criteria: I can/have...

• Correctly and accurately label a diagram of the water cycle 
• Describe  the particle model of matter  theory
• Explain the basic process involved in the 3 phases of water 
• Tabulate the differences between a solid a liquid and a gas 
• Explain how wind and waves can be used as an energy resource 
• Research the different shapes and sizes of boat hulls
