Kia Ora Students,
Welcome to your Science learning for 2024. We begin the year with the topic Aotearoa by exploring and classifying things in our surroundings.
EXPLORE / TŪHURA learning intentions:
- We are EXPLORING...the context of ‘Aotearoa, 'the home we make it to be where everyone counts’ by classifying the things that surround us.
SC:
Conduct observations to distinguish similarities and differences on items.
Arrange groups of objects based on shared characteristics.
Explain the difference between classification, taxonomy and species.

- We are EXPLORING...communities and belonging by identifying organisms and their function in each kingdom.
- SC:
Draw and label a plant and an animal cell.
Compare and contrast organisms in each kingdom.
Explain scientific vocabulary in my own words.

PLAN & DO / WHAKAMAHI learning intentions:
- We are PLANNING... to use a microscope so that we can...identify the parts of an onion plant cell.
SC:
Identify the parts of a microscope.
State the function of the main parts.
Complete a simple procedure by following instructions.
Evaluate my results and draw a conclusion.

Kia Ora Students Welcome back. Our context for term two is:
EXPLORE / TŪHURA learning intentions:
- We are EXPLORING...
the context ‘stand up, stand out’ by investigating a research question to collect data and recognise how it can be applied to the “real world”.
- SC:
Explain why I have decided to undergo this scientific investigation and the relevance of it in the ‘real world’.
Identify the aim of my investigation.
Predict the outcome of my investigation through my hypothesis
- We are EXPLORING...

Kia Ora Students, Welcome to Week 2,
FOCUS / ARONGA learning intentions:
- We are FOCUSING...the context of ‘Stand up, Stand out’ by identifying how to test a research question and describing the data gathered.
- Success Criteria:
Identify the aim of my investigation.
Predict the outcome of my investigation through my hypothesis
Identify the equipment needed to test my hypothesis.
Discuss the importance of fair testing and examine how the control, apparatus, and variables can modify an experimental outcome.
Developing necessary skills for my science fair investigation.
