Section outline

  • volcano


    Kia Ora, 

    This week we will be ending our Earth and Space Science topic by looking at volcanoes. In particular, we will be focusing on the volcanoes present in NZ and will be doing an experiment at home 

    As usual, google slides will be up on google classroom at 8.30am on the day of your first session of science. 

    Plan for the week is as follows: 

    1. If weather allows, a field trip to Māungakiekie ( Dormant volcano in Mt Albert - I will head out and show you during google meet) - If not then a virtual trip in the Auckland museum 

    2. DIY make your own volcano ( some of our chemistry learning from last term will be useful for this ) 


    Success Criteria: I can/have...

    • Understand that some mountains and hills are volcanoes but not all volcanoes look like mountains 
    • Understand that volcanoes have been built up by eruptions. 
    • Realise that volcanoes can be extinct, dormant or active

    Activities:

    1. Virtual museum trip to the volcanoes section 
    2. DIY Volcano experiment 



    FOCUS / ARONGA

    FOCUS / ARONGA learning intentions:

    • We are FOCUSING on the context of Space Race by describing the natural aspects of Earth and identifying how volcanoes are created and erupt.
    • We are FOCUSING on the context of Space Race by comparing the different types of volcanoes and eruptions
