    Our context this term is Kokokaha- Powered by the Wind. We will be exploring the skills you would need to sailing away into the sunset and stay out at sea without turning back!

    Our first task is to hone in on our Science Skills, and this includes
    Lab safety and skills
    Using a Bunsen burner safely
    Understanding, Investigating and Communicating in Science (Science literacy)

    We will be focusing on chemistry skills so we can create clean water, preserve food, and attempt self sufficiency, all of which are essential when on a boat!

    Success Criteria:

    • Conduct myself in a lab safely
    • Identify and use lab a variety of lab equipment correctly
    • Use a Bunsen burner effectively and safely
    • Show accuracy when measuring substance 

    Activities:

    1. Charades
    2. Lab equipment- identify and draw
    3. LAB- Practise lighting and extinguishing a bunsen burner
    4. Measuring and reading scales accurately
    5. SCIPAD
    6. LABS- different techniques of separating mixture 

    Further Learning:
    All resource will be posted on MHO, Google Classrooms. We will also be utilising Education Perfect and Brainpop to supplement understanding.
