Kia ora 8F2 students. Hope you and your family are all well and had a great holiday. This week is our first week back and we are starting our online learning.
Week 1 of Term 2 will be for you to work on your first assessment for this year. I have attached the assessment below so please go ahead and read through it. It should be straightforward but if you have any questions please contact me via email. I will be available for you in your timetabled science class. I will also post some more guidelines for your assessment and discuss the TAAB with you on Google Classroom.
Homework will be for you to work on your science fair project. By now you should have decided on your experiment. Please email me your chosen experiment and we can discuss together.
Please refer to Google Classroom as my instructions and school work to be done will be posted there.
PLAN & DO / WHAKAMAHI learning intentions:
- We are PLANNING to apply our knowledge of forces so that we can create a prezi, website, or slideshow showing the forces of physics acting on a dancer.
-
Kia ora 8F2 students.
It's now Week 2 of Term 2 and we will still be working on our assessment.
We are also working on our science fair project. By now you all should have a topic you like and have written all you have done so far into your logbook. This week we will formulate our hypothesis and do some background research on the topic you have chosen.
Homework will be for you to work on your science fair project.
PLAN & DO / WHAKAMAHI learning intentions:
- We are PLANNING on constructing the solar system so that we can develop an appreciation of the distances between the planets.
