Term 3 Week 4+5

FOCUS / ARONGA learning intentions:

• We are FOCUSING on our topic of Physics through the context of 'power rangers' by deducing electricity calculations of various everyday appliances and comparing these with each other.
• We are FOCUSING on our topic of Physics through the context of 'power rangers' by identifying the need to be energy smart and developing ways to resolve high electricity use.
• We are FOCUSING on our topic of Physics through the context of 'power rangers' by understanding how different types of energy is transformed and used

Kia Ora ākonga, 

This week we will be completing some of our Wonder challenge lessons before starting the assessment on Thursday. Plan for the week is as follows: 

Tuesday: How do we measure electricity? Energy Detectives activity calculating energy for everyday devices we use. 

Wednesday:  What is static electricity/ with experiment 

Thursday: Assessment introduction. ( Scroll up to the top of the page for the link to submit your assessment- You will need to attach a photo of your assessment and hand in the hard copy of your poster to me by the due date)
