  • REFLECT / WHAIWHAKAARO

    REFLECT / WHAIWHAKAARO learning intentions:

    • We are REFLECTING on our learning of electricity by evaluating safety considerations in an electrical emergency


    PLAN & DO / WHAKAMAHI

    PLAN & DO / WHAKAMAHI learning intentions:

    • We are PLANNING be electricians by designing and building a game or toy that uses an electric circuit to work
    • We are PLANNING to be doctors/nurses by publishing a medical report




    Success Criteria:

    • I can identify whether a material is an insulator or conductor and then test it to confirm
    • I can design a product (toy) that involves an electrical component


    Activities:

    • Building electrical circuits
    • Testing different materials in circuits and seeing whether the lamp turns on (lamp on = conductor)
    • Designing a toy that involves electrical circuits and could include a motor
    • Electrical safety discussion
