Term 1 Week 3

Kia Ora Yr 8, 

This week you will be having your bike training from sessions 1-4:

8M1: Monday and Tuesday 

8M2: Wednesday and Thursday. 

Because you will have maybe 1 or 2 sessions with me this week, we won't have much content. You will find your slides on G-classroom covering: 

• What our context is - The Great Outdoors, and specifically looking at the triathlon 
• What forces act on a bike to make it go faster or slower ( this is part of our physics topic but we will briefly look at this as it is relevant)
• Comparing the design of a bicycle and cyclist's suit to  adaptations in some animals ( what help them go faster/slower) 

EXPLORE / TŪHURA learning intentions:

• We are EXPLORING our context of the Great Outdoors by investigating the different forces that act on a bicycle and observing how these help it go faster or slower.
• We are EXPLORING our context of the Great Outdoors by Connecting our understanding of the forces, and design of the bicycle ( and cyclist's suit) to recognising the adaptations in some animals.

Success Criteria: I can/have...

1. Understand our context of The Great Outdoors, and what the Triathlon is
2. Describe some of the forces that act on the bike to make it go faster or slower.
3. Compare the design of a bike and cyclist’s suit  to adaptations of some animals and what makes them go faster/slower
