Term 3 Week 1

EXPLORE / TŪHURA learning intentions:

• We are EXPLORING our context of power rangers through physics by discovering the different global issues in the work and finding solutions that we can integrate into school and home lives through rangahau

Welcome back ākonga!! This term our context will be Power rangers ( emphasis on the power!!) 

This term we will be collaborating with  Maths, P.E and English  to get a deeper understanding of the different aspects of power, electricity and all things related to this. 
In pūtaiao ( science) we will be focusing on the strand of physics - specifically looking at Energy and Electricity.  We will be doing these through an awesome challenge called the Wonder challenge! You will be doing this in groups and we will have an Electrical Engineer with us each week to help us with the challenge. You will be documenting your journey and at the end of the term you will create a solar device !

Achievement Objectives for this Term: 
• Explore, describe and represent patterns and trends for everyday examples of electricity.
 • Identify and describe everyday examples of sources of energy, forms of energy and energy transformations.

Plan for this week is as follows: 
Tuesday:  Create a digital poster in pairs - looking at the global issues and ways we can resolve these in school and at home. 

Wednesday: Tennis ball bounce experiment and write up  on google classroom 

Thursday/Friday:  Scientific Literacy/ NOS skills - Assigned on read works 

Keywords: Energy, Potential Energy, Kinetic Energy, Energy transformation, Energy transfer, Atoms
