Section outline





  • Kia ora 8F1 students. This term our context is "Circus" and we will be exploring Physic through the lense of a Circus. Below you will find this terms Achievement Objectives and the Learning Intention for the next few weeks. 

    Big Idea: “Circus”.


    Achievement Objectives


    Nature of science

    Investigating in science


    • Build on prior experiences, working together to share and examine their own and others’ knowledge.

    • Ask questions, find evidence, explore simple models, and carry out appropriate investigations to develop simple explanations.


    Physical world


    Explore, describe, and represent patterns and trends for everyday examples of physical phenomena, such as movement, forces, electricity and magnetism, light, sound, waves, and heat. For example, identify and describe the effect of forces (contact and non-contact) on the motion of objects; identify and describe everyday examples of sources of energy, forms of energy, and energy transformations.


    EXPLORE / TŪHURA

    EXPLORE / TŪHURA learning intentions:

    • We are EXPLORING the concepts of force and motion
    • We are EXPLORING to investigating balanced and unbalanced forces
    • We are EXPLORING to investigate friction in everyday life
    • We are EXPLORING to understanding the Laws of motion


    Success Criteria: I can/have..

    • define or explain the following terms  - Force, contact vs non contact forces, Newton's laws of motion, gravity, mass, weight, friction, buoyancy, thrust, air/water resistance
    • Explain forces acting on a object, balanced and unbalanced forces, using diagrams
    • Calculate force
