  • PLAN & DO / WHAKAMAHI

    PLAN & DO / WHAKAMAHI learning intentions:

    • We are PLANNING to create a periscope and to build a simple musical instrument so that we can be innovative with our knowledge of light and sound

    FOCUS / ARONGA

    FOCUS / ARONGA learning intentions:

    • We are FOCUSING on explaining how light travels to our eyes in straight lines
    • We are FOCUSING on understanding how mirrors reflect light, and how they can help us see objects



    Success Criteria: 

    • I can construct a working electromagnet.
    • I can demonstrate that light travels in a straight line.
    • I can create a model to show how light travels from a light source to our eyes, or to an object and then our eyes.
    • I can explain how we see things.
    • I can explain how light is reflected.
    • I can measure the angles of incidence and reflection.
    • I can use my understanding of reflection to create a working periscope.


    Activities:

    • Building an electromagnet.
    • Modelling light travelling in straight lines using yarn
    • Making a periscope
