    Achievement Objectives: Enter AO's here

    Context: Earth and Beyond.

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

    • research our planet earth with links to structure/ atmosphere/ water cycle and global warming
    • identify images and understand key concepts.
    • determine the cause of global warming and 

    Success Criteria: I can/have...

    • understood the structure of earth and key factors that determine life on earth eg through the water cycle.
    • examined and understood what is global warming and its effects on earth.

    Activities:

    1. Research and paste a digram on the structure of the earth and indicate what are the different components.
    2. What us meant by magnetic field? examine the materials earth is made up of which is nickel iron. What do you understand by this material.
    3. Research  and paste a diagram on earths atmosphere. List the different parts to the atmosphere and what gases may be found in each part.What is the purpose of the ozone layer?
    4. See video on earths atmosphere and list important vocabulary in your online document.
    5. Research and paste an image of the water cycle. Write a short paragraph on how the water cycle is formed.
    6. List with images the various clouds in earths atmosphere.
    7. What would happen to cloud formation  if there was a drought?Explain with reasons.
    8. By testing your prior knowledge what id global warming. List  important words by that link with this.
    9. Research and paste a diagram of what is global warming. 
    10. What are greenhouse gas emission and what industries are likely to give these off.
    11. What is likely to happen if the co2 build up continues. How does this effect climate.
    12. Research one image of how climate change is effecting people and the environment. What would happen if this trend continues.
    13. Explain what is ozone depletion.
    14. Do you think climate change is causing sea level rise? How is this affecting our COASTS?
    15. See video on climate change and let us have a class discussion on this.
    16. By working in a team an infographic on your carbon footprint. Calculate the amount of gases and other materials you consume everyday that contributes to global warming.

    EXPLORE / TŪHURA learning intentions:

    • We are EXPLORING...to research and have an understanding of space, the structure of earth and how earth science that include atmospheric levels, water cycles and how are weather/seasons formed
    • We are EXPLORING...how landscapes on earth are changing due to human activities and development
    • We are EXPLORING...ideas on how local communities( around the world are affected by these activities.
