Section outline

  • EXPLORE / TŪHURA

    EXPLORE / TŪHURA learning intentions:

    • We are EXPLORING the physical world focussing on forces and how these forces affect movement of an athlete
    • We are EXPLORING our ability to work independently in a lab setting to perform a variety of practical force related experiments which will lead up to our NCEA investigation
    • We are EXPLORING the living world focussing on genetics and how variation and genetics play a role in sports.
    • We are EXPLORING the Nature of Science by participating and contributing to understanding how DNA and various characteristics both favourable and unfavourable are inherited.

    I am a learner with innovation skills that will enable me to navigate the 21st century:

    • Emerging:
      • I think creativity to solve challenges
      • I demonstrate the skills to work collaboratively with others
      • I have oral, written and non-verbal communication skills
    • Growing:
      • I work creativity with others to solve challenges
      • When working collaboratively, I exercise flexibility and willingness to compromise to achieve a common goal
      • I am a clear communicator; oral, written and nonverbal

    FOCUS / ARONGA

    FOCUS / ARONGA learning intentions:

    • We are FOCUSING on the physical strand so we can discuss and describe how mechanics can be used in sports to help improve the athlete
    • We are FOCUSING on mechanics so that we can opt in and complete the physics NCEA 90135 paper
    PLAN & DO / WHAKAMAHI

    PLAN & DO / WHAKAMAHI learning intentions:

    • We are PLANNING to complete a whole lot of practical investigations and a dissection in order for us to demonstrate our understanding of how mechanics and so forces affect sports

    Learning Intentions :  We are learning to (WALT)...
    • Identify the different forces acting on an object
    • Understand how balanced forces and unbalanced forces play a role in movement 
    • Discuss the relationship between mass and weight 
    • Understand  that there are always 4 forces acting on an object  
    • Describe and experiment with forces 
    • Calculate the weight of an object and the forces acting on an object
    • Perform various practical investigations that lead to a straight line graph 
    • Explain how the results from these investigations affect an objects movement 
    • Complete an NCEA assessment in class 

    • Success Criteria: I can/have...
    •  Successfully identify different forces acting on an object 
    • Explain how balanced and unbalanced forces act on an object 
    • Explain how one can get a straight line graph from a practical investigation 
    • Define friction 
    • Perform various calculations correctly 
    • Explain successfully what a straight line graph from an experiment means 
    • Successfully complete the NCEA Assessment
