Term 1 Week 2

Kia Ora ākonga, 

This week we are going to get into our learning and I will introduce you to our context: "Volcanic Volumes".  Please note: I am aiming to have minimum device use in class, so we will be doing as many hands-on experiments and activities as possible.

•  Most of your work in class will be in your books so make sure to bring your science book to class. 
• Homework will be assigned each week ,  either through brainpop or education perfect. This will help complement and reinforce the learning we do in class. Please make sure that this is done by the due dates provided. 

 Week 2 outline is as follows: 

Session 1: We will go through classroom rules and expectations in class as well as establish how you best learn and what your learning preferences are. Watch the video below to see what learning preferences are. 

 I will also go through assessment guidelines and how these will be graded. 

Session 2:   What is a puia (volcano) and where in NZ do we find them?  We will be looking at how much you know about volcanoes and briefly look at the recent eruption and tsunami on  Hunga-Tonga Hunga Ha'apai. 

Session 3:  Volcano activity ( Lab schedule will be split into 2. Half of you will be doing it on a Wednesday and the other on the Thursday ) 

EXPLORE / TŪHURA learning intentions:

• We are EXPLORING the context of Volcanic Volumes by discovering what different type of volcanoes look like.
• We are EXPLORING of Volcanic Volumes by connecting that volcanoes have been built up by eruptions.

Success Criteria: I can/have...

•  Identify, label and locate some active puia (volcanoes) in Aotearoa.
  
• Show my understanding of how volcanoes are created and destroyed over time.
