Kia Ora ākonga!
Welcome to your Pūtaiao (science) course page for 2023. My name is Ms. Katafono and I will be your Science kaiako (teacher) this year. This page is where you will find all the information you will require for your Science course. All tasks and assessments will be placed here as well as additional lesson notes and resources. Please make it a habit to check this page at the start of each week to ensure you are up to date. This term we will be focusing on the context: Journeying and we will be exploring this through different volcanoes and the journey it makes .
Your kaiako here in the Maunga (Mountains) whānau hope that your year at MHJC will be full of fun and challenging activities that will see you grow as a learner. If there are any queries do come see me or feel free to email me - mkatafono@mhjc.school.nz -
EXPLORE / TŪHURA learning intentions:
- We are EXPLORING...volcanoes, including their formation, types, and eruption mechanisms through experimenting, modelling and researching so we can understand the makeup of the earth's geosphere
- We are EXPLORING...the impact of volcanic eruptions on the environment and the necessary safety measures needed to use them as a recreational space.
Kia ora ākonga,
Plan for the 2 weeks is as follows:
Monday: TOD
Tuesday: Waitangi Day
Thursday: Lab safety refresher, title page and intro into our context ( brainstorming what you know )
Week 3:
Monday: Research on our local maunga in Tāmaki Makaurau and volcanoes. Understanding Te reo names and what the mean ( why they are called that) , any facts, type of volcanoes they are
Tuesday: Presentation in your groups on your chosen local volcano, Intro into inner core of Earth. Egg model experiment
Thursday: Inner core art project create and label your model

PLAN & DO / WHAKAMAHI learning intentions:
- We are PLANNING to demonstrate our understanding of the movement in the inner core by applying our learning through a convection current experiment
- We are PLANNING to construct the different tectonic boundaries by using sandwiches as models and demonstrate our understanding of this. We will be doing this through collaboration as a group.

Kia ora...
Paearu Angitu / Success Criteria: I can/have...
- To see that different types (shapes) of volcano are created by different types of magma leading to different types of eruption.
