  • EXPLORE / TŪHURA

    EXPLORE / TŪHURA learning intentions:

    • We are EXPLORING the Science lab, the equipment used and the rules that apply to working here 
    • We are EXPLORING  what makes us unique and how we are different from our classmates - variation 
    • We are EXPLORING the environment in Tane bush and the organisms that live there 
    • We are EXPLORING the classification of organisms and how we fit into this big picture  

    Learning Intentions :  We are learning to (WALT)...

    • List the safety rules for working in a science laboratory
    • Identify safety hazard (HAZCHEM) symbols 
    • Identify common laboratory equipment 
    • Draw laboratory equipment in a scientific manner 
    • Learn about carrying out fair tests 
    • Understanding that we are all made up of different specialised cells. 
    • Recognising - cells == tissue == organ== organ system == organism 
    • Identifying all the organs in the human body 
    • Learn about what makes us unique - variation within our class and whanau 
    • Learn about the classification system and how we fit into this 
    • Learn about what we are made up of and how this helps us function 
    • Describe different environments and investigate what lives in them
    • Success Criteria: I can/have...
    • Correctly identify and draw the different apparatus found in a science laboratory
    • Drawn up a  list of safety rules for the science laboratory and draw a poster to go up in the room
    • Describe  and identify the different hazards from the HAZCHEM symbols 
    • Explain how to work safely in the science laboratory
    • Tabulate the differences between the different types of organisms found in the Vertebrate Class
    • Label a typical diagram of a cell 
    • Describe what variation is and why it is important 
    • Investigate the different environments in the school and discuss what organisms live in these environments
