Remember - MHOL is where you go to find out what we are doing in our science classes!

Term One, Learning Context

Our Year 8 learning context this term is Kiwiana (about our cultural identity in Aotearoa). Since we are off on an adventure to Goat Island, we will learn about our rocky shore coastline. How much do you already know? 

During our learning, we will also have to write down our learning intentions (we did this many times last year!)

What are learning intentions? 

• Learning intentions help us know what we should know or be able to do at the end of the learning that we may not have known or couldn't do before. 
  
  

Learning intentions:

• We are FOCUSING ... on how living things are suited to their particular habitat and how they respond to environmental changes, both natural and human-induced
• We are FOCUSING and developing and understanding that there are life processes common to all living things and that these occur in different ways

Success criteria: I can...

• Describe the basic rules for working in a science lab
• Describe our learning context
