    • We are EXPLORING... the use of Harakeke (flax) by the Maori by investigating Maori history and through experiments


    Kia Ora


    Below is the long term overview of what term 1 could look like.

    It is a working document. Each success criteria will be highlighted as and when achieved. 
    It is bird's eye view of a scaffold system towards students' learning progression, assessment, reflection and teacher feedback.
    It sets the scene by exploring the context.
    Having explored, students begin to focus on developing a deeper understanding of the context.
    Students then begin to plan towards what they want to do with their learning - This is their Doing, the outcome of their learning

    Authenticity  AKO- The planning allows students to create and produce - explore, focus, plan and do.
    Assignments and assessments are measured against a Working Towards, At, Above and Beyond (TAAB) scale.

    The SOLO levels in the planning below ( structure of observed learning outcomes) aligns with the TAAB:
    One and many = At
    Many and Relate =Above
    Relate and Abstract = Beyond

    NCEA has a similar system in place- Matrix based on SOLO.

    Learning Area: Science

    Curriculum Levels:4

    AO:

    understanding about science

    Appreciate that science is a way of explaining the world and that science knowledge changes over time.

    Investigating in science

    Build on prior experiences, working together to share and examine their own and others’ knowledge.

    Ask questions, find evidence, explore simple models, and carry out appropriate investigations to develop simple explanations.

    Communicating in science

    EXPLORE / TŪHURA

    EXPLORE / TŪHURA learning intentions:

    • We are EXPLORING by describing patterns and trends for everyday examples of physical phenomena, such as movement, forces, for example, identifying and describing the effect of forces (contact and non-contact) on the motion of objects; identifying and describing everyday examples of sources of energy, forms of energy, and energy transformations.
    • We are EXPLORING.. by investigating science as a way of explaining the world and that science knowledge changes over time
    • We are EXPLORING...by using students' growing science knowledge when considering issues of concern to them.
    • Success Criteria: I can/have...

      • Uploading the Sphero app and learning to use the app to control and drive the sphero.
      • understanding the laws of motion and their application while driving the sphero.
      • Reviewing a brief history of Newton and his discovery of the laws of motion and gravity
      • begin to understand the kinetic and potential energy and energy transformation
      • understand how energy cannot be created nor destroyed, it is only transformed as the laws of the conservation of energy states.

      Activities:

      1. Upload Sphero app and program sphero.
      2. Begin to drive the sphero.
      3.  Begin to apply the laws of motion
      4. Begin to apply knowledge of friction
      5. Begin to apply energy transformation
      6. Question how the energy is created by the battery to move the sphero.
      7. Begin the inquiry on simple electricity and magnetism

      Follow Up Tasks:
       Education perfect tasks.
