    EXPLORE / TŪHURA learning intentions:

    • We are EXPLORING the topic of Mātai matū ( Chemistry) within the context of Halloween by observing the states of matter and how particles are arranged, their movement and how these change states.
    • We are EXPLORING the topic of Mātai matū ( Chemistry) within the context of Halloween by identifying the differences and classifying between the types of matter: elements, mixtures and compounds by investigating their properties and experimenting
    • We are EXPLORING the topic of Mātai matū ( Chemistry) within the context of Halloween by locating common elements on the periodic table, recognising their properties and discovering patterns between their locations on periodic table and why they are organised this way.
