    FOCUS / ARONGA learning intentions:

    • We are FOCUSING on chemical changes when food cooks
    • We are FOCUSING on the digestive system and how each organ is adapted to perform its function
    • We are FOCUSING on heat energy and solving how much energy is in different foods



    Success Criteria: 

    • I can identify the parts of the digestive system and explain what each part does. 
    • I can explain how the small intestine is adapted to carry out it’s function.
    • I can define heat energy
    • I can explain how heat energy is transferred


    Activities:

    • Digestive system crossword
    • Putting the stages of digestion in the correct order
    • Writing the te reo Māori words for scientific words related to heat energy
    • Think-Pair-Share on how heat energy is transferred
    • Summarising conduction, convection, and radiation
    • Practical: placing plastic, metal, and wooden spoons in hot water and testing which material can conduct heat
