Term 3 Week 3

EXPLORE / TŪHURA learning intentions:

• We are EXPLORING the concept of Physics through the context of Power Rangers by investigating the journey electricity travels from its generation, through to use in the community
• We are EXPLORING the concept of physics through the context of power rangers by discovering the components of New Zealand’s National Grid and how they’re connected
• We are EXPLORING the concept of physics through the context of power rangers by classifying what are renewable and non-renewable energies.
• We are EXPLORING the concept of physics through the context of power rangers by researching different types of renewable energy and how STEM is used to find and develop renewable energy solutions
