  • EXPLORE / TŪHURA

    EXPLORE / TŪHURA learning intentions:

    • We are EXPLORING fair testing through whole class investigations
    • We are EXPLORING accuracy and validity in tests through fair testing
    • we are EXPLORING Nutrition and the effects of good/poor nutrition on our health
    • We are EXPLORING circulatory system and how we can maintain a healthy heart
    • WE ARE EXPLORING the digestive system and how it processes nutrients through to our organs

    Success Criteria: I can/have...

    • I am able to discuss down to the cellular level how my actions can benefit my circulatory and digestive systems.
    • I can describe fair testing results with an understanding of the science behind my observations
    • I can identify some of the different parts of the heart


    • Activities:
    1. Fair Testing conditions
    2. Measuring and Graphing Heart Rate
    3. Identifying the different parts of the heart, labelling and drawing circulatory system diagram
    4. Videos explaining the role of the heart and circulatory system, linking in with lungs
    5. Aerodynamics - fair test to make aerodynamic shapes based on surface area
