Activities:

Monday

• • I will introduce the students to the "Castaway Island Activities" by telling them about the scenario.

  • The students will do the first task where they must get into groups and choose the number of items they will get from the wreckage of the cruise ship which must be maximum 10kg and explain why they chose those items.

  • If the students have finished the task then they will get into groups of 4 where they will draw the shape of the island on paper and draw and label what is in the island.

  I will tell the students throughout the lesson how science can be used to help with survival on the island and how the task relates to Matauranga Maori. That is, what it would have been like for the Maori to first come to New Zealand in the period of pre-European contact. What knowledge would they have brought with them and what resources they used to survive. What would their life be like compared to the lives of people today?
