    EXPLORE / TŪHURA learning intentions:

    • We are EXPLORING Mechanics to investigate what forces are present during different sports
    • We are EXPLORING the different energy conversions that take place during sports and everyday activities
    • We are EXPLORING respiration ( the release of energy ) in the human body and reactions that take place
    • We are EXPLORING the human body as a machine
