  • How human events may promote kotahitanga


    How the activities of human events such as the Olympics impact the way we solve problems, consume energy, and make progress in the economy and sports.

    Kia ora Year 9s,

    The Paris Olympics are upon us. All the atheletes competing have to be in top form, and that involves carefully planned nutrition to ensure their bodies are getting the correct nutrition so that they can perform on a global stage. One of their main nutritional consideration is the amount of energy that they need to consume.

    Everything in the universe can be whittled down to energy. Energy is all around us, but how have we learnt to embrace and utilise that energy?

    We will begin to explore energy, and how we utilise that power everyday. 

    Our goal is to be able to describe different forms of energy, and how the transformation of energy creates and enhances our experiences of everyday life, both physically and environmentally!
