    EXPLORE / TŪHURA

    EXPLORE / TŪHURA learning intentions:

    • We are EXPLORING...investigative techniques so we can select the most appropriate method to observe + analyse scientific phenomena
    • We are EXPLORING...cells and genetics so that we can discover and recognise which traits are inherited from our whānau

    Learning Outcome: Explore and research genetics to differentiate between what 'nature' vs. 'nurture' means

    Paearu Angitu / Success Criteria: I can/have...

    • Compare and identify recessive and dominant traits
    • Briefly explain the importance of scientific research + scientists involved in the discovery of DNA
    • Draw + briefly describe the stages of mitosis

    Hei Mahi / Activities:

    1. Hands-on activities: mitosis with cells, origami DNA
    2. Research: select one scientist, research them with a partner and present to the class 
    3. Numeracy: graph the class data on genetic traits
    4. Literacy: complete the "DNA" activities in Google Classroom
