  • EXPLORE / TŪHURA

    EXPLORE / TŪHURA learning intentions:

    • We are EXPLORING the scarcity of water on earth and recognising through data analysis that man is busy destroying this very scarce resource through a variety of ways
    • We are EXPLORING the forces involved with boat travel through a practical "waka ama" session
    • We are EXPLORING data analysis and scientific writing techniques all relating to water scarcity, water pollution and poverty
    • We are EXPLORING the affect of forces on moving and stationary objects
    • We are EXPLORING using Scientific formula to calculate Force, Weight and speed of objects
    • We are EXPLORING different types of Energy and calculating Potential Energy and Kinetic Energy of objects



    Learning Intentions :  We are learning to (WALT)...

    • Identify the major spheres of the Earth 
    • Label & Describe the water cycle and the importance of water to life on earth  
    • Describe the "particle model of matter" stating how this explains the 3 phases of water 
    • Investigate the melting point freezing point and boiling point of water 
    • Understand that water is a limited resource 
    • Investigate and learn about extreme water events like flooding and droughts 
    • Investigate water shortages and what we can do to conserve water 
    • Understand how man is polluting and harming our water resource 
    • Investigate whether height affects the size of the "manu"  splash 
    • Understand the physical forces involved in boat travel 
    • Look at wind and sails and how a boat moves through water using the wind 
    • Research how waves can be used as an energy resource 

    • Success Criteria: I can/have...
