Term 3 Week 5

Kia Ora ākonga, 

This week we will be moving on to the Reproductive System.  I have attached the powerpoint for the week on Google classroom , please make sure to go through this during our normal science sessions and complete the work set out for you. 

Remember, although we are remotely learning this topic,  I would still to create a safe space around this topic as I understand it can be difficult or embarrassing to discuss. If you have any questions or concerns that are appropriate and relevant to this context then please do not hesitate to email me:) 

Week 5 lockdown work is outlined as follows: 

Tuesday (Session 1) - We have our zoom meeting. You will start the topic with puberty, and specifically the hormones related to reproduction .  Follow up activity on Brainpop 'Puberty' 

Thursday (Session 5) - Slides 15-25 on the powerpoint. This will be on the structure and functions of the reproductive organs. 

Friday (Focused Friday ) - Scientific Literacy reading. This is on Readworks. Code is on the powerpoint with instructions on how to access it. Please complete the article reading and answering the questions. 

I have also put a link to last year's CAT exam. Make sure to attempt it so you are familiar with the structure and type of content you are likely to get this year. Submit it to me so I can give you feedback and you can see what areas you need to work on. 

Any questions , feel free to email me 

Arohanui, 

Ms. Katafono
