    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

    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 
    • Investigate the solubility of solutions and how to measure different concentrations 
    • Look at wind and sails and how a boat moves through water using the wind 
    • Investigate different size and shaped hulls of boats through experimentation 

    • Success Criteria: I can/have...
    • Correctly and accurately label a diagram of the water cycle 
    • Describe  the particle model of matter  theory
    • Explain the basic process involved in the 3 phases of water 
    • Tabulate the differences between a solid a liquid and a gas 
    • Explain how wind and waves can be used as an energy resource 
    • Research the different shapes and sizes of boat hulls 
    • Discuss and explain the processes sailors use to sail a boat 

    Activities:
