    PLAN & DO / WHAKAMAHI

    PLAN & DO / WHAKAMAHI learning intentions:

    • We are PLANNING... to make a box trolly car (Y10), a bottle model car (Y9 ), model car with different wheels (Y8) so that we can... apply our knowledge and present data on why speed limits can save lives
    • We are completing a set of CHALLENGES - which will test our experimental procedure skills and our Data collecting skills.
    • Challenges include - parachute drop, Sphero programming, helicopter drop, car down a ramp and Water Wild Wacky races on 18 November


  • 2 November - 8 November


    Big Idea:  "Amazing Races"

    Learning Intentions: We are learning to (WALT)...

    • Understand the key differences between mass and weight. 
    • Describe  and calculate speed, time distance
    • Predict what factors would influence speed of an object 
    • Describe the forces acting on an object 
    • Describe the importance of friction 

    Success Criteria : I can/have...

    • Investigated the relationship between slope of a road and distance a car travelled 
    • Investigated upward motion of a rocket 
    • Investigated and collected data from our box go cart 
    • Investigated and collected data during our Wild Wet Wednesday 

    Activities:

    1. Google classroom tasks 
    2. Videos on the topic 
    3. Car down slope practical 
    4. Box go cart races (investigate relationship between mass, slope, speed distance 

    Homework:
    All Class work NOT completed in class will be completed for Homework !!
