Section outline

  • EXPLORE / TŪHURA

    EXPLORE / TŪHURA learning intentions:

    • We are EXPLORING the concept of Physics through the context of Power Rangers by discovering the different types of energy and how these are converted into different energies
    • We are EXPLORING the concept of physics through the context of power rangers by connecting our learning to the wonder challenge and observing the different types of energy through our experiment
