  • EXPLORE / TŪHURA

    EXPLORE / TŪHURA learning intentions:

    • We are EXPLORING how to locate and analyse basic concepts surrounding the notion of global warming, climate change, and sustainability, and how it poses a threat to the continued existence of life of our planet.
    • (Week 10) We are EXPLORING, recognizing and analyzing a single issue related to climate change that has been reported in the media this year, and the challenges it poses for the future.

    Success Criteria
    Students will gain a basic understanding of the concept of global warming which
    is now accepted as a fact by the mainstream scientific community because the
    weight of evidence is overwhelming. The only credible debate that remains is the
    extent to which this change will occur and the speed at which it will happen. At
    the end of this week students will be able to explain house the Greenhouse
    Effect works.
