Term 1 Week 3

Kia Ora Yr 9, 

This week we will be looking at lab safety rules and expectations before we dive into an experiment. 

Could you please make sure you have completed last week's work including the science intro activity on Flipgrid and the rangahau group activity where you were to look at 1 of NZ's volcanoes and create a slide for this on G-slide. 

The structure for this week is as follows: 

Session 1:  Complete last week's work ( Mr Hishey will be checking so make sure to complete this ), if you are done - go through the lab safety and expectations slides. I have added a scavenger hunt where you are to find safety equipment within the lab that we would use to ensure the safety of our karaehe ( class) and school mates. 

Session 2:  Earth structure whakamātau (experiment ) ( worksheet will be given out, you will need to take a picture of this to attach to your work once done in your groups ) 

Session 3: Documentary and worksheet 

EXPLORE / TŪHURA learning intentions:

• We are EXPLORING the context of Volcanic Volumes by familiarising ourselves with the lab safety procedures and locating and recognising safety equipment within our lab.
• We are EXPLORING the context of Volcanic Volumes by interpreting the various signs and symbols in the lab and understanding what these mean.
• We are EXPLORING the context of Volcanic Volumes by conducting an egg dissection experiment and connecting the layers of this to the Earth's structure. 

Success Criteria: I can/have...

• Identify and locate where our safety equipment are within the lab
• Understand when and how to use the safety equipment within the lab 
• conduct an experiment safely and work within my group to distribute the various roles of cleaning, note-taking and gathering equipment.
• Label a diagram of the Earth's structure and compare this to a dissection of a boiled egg
