  • Term 1 Week 3

    Egg drop


    Last week, we briefly went through what forces were. On Thursday, you did the egg drop challenge where you got into your groups and designed a contraption that would keep your egg safe as it was thrown down from the top of the stairs down to the bottom floor. 

    As we are currently in lockdown until (hopefully) Thursday, I'd like you complete the egg drop worksheet on google classroom - found here. 

    I've also attached a nice summary of what motion is, with a cool episode from Bill NYE the science guy. If you finish the egg drop activity, then you may watch the video and do the worksheet that I've placed with it. Link is here 


    Sweet, that's all for this week. If you have any questions , feel free to email me :) 

    Most importantly, stay safe, and look after yourselves this week. 

    covid safety greetings

    Arohanui,

    Your One-Stop Meme Collection – Voices of Monterey Bay


    Kia Ora koutou, we're back in lockdown for a week so  for the next 7 days , I'd like you to focus on your own physical and mental health first. 

    In terms of work, we will be revising our learning from the last few weeks.  The links to the activities you are doing are on the must do can do document. Please make sure you check these and complete them.  ( We are revising our Scientific writing skills in preparation for CAT and comparing plant and animal cells (finish off by Friday ) 


    Next week we will start looking at reproduction so if lockdown gets extended- I will send through instructions via googleclassroom and powerpoint slides. Zoom meetings will also be scheduled to brief you and have a quick catch-up)

    A few tips to help make this transition at home with school work easier: 

    1. Set yourself a timetable or schedule and keep your routines as normal as possible.  (Eg. try and follow your class routines so if you would normally have Science in Session 3 on a day - then work on science during this time, then move on to the subject you would normally have in the next session etc. ) 

    2. Allow time in the day for some physical activity or down time. ( Eg. go for a walk with your family to your LOCAL park or within your neighbourhood) 

    3. Do what's best for you and your family, and most importantly stay safe and hopefully I'll see you all next week. 


    Stay safe and well in your bubbles.

    FOCUS / ARONGA learning intentions:

    • We are FOCUSING on how to read weather maps for our local neighbourhood
    • We are FOCUSING on explaining the role that temperature and pressure have on our weather

  • Term 4 Week 5 + 6



    Kia Ora 10M1, 

    This week we will be looking at the rock cycle. We started with the atmosphere and reading weather maps, now we will look at our Earth's interior the different types of rocks and how they move through the different stages of the rock cycle. 


    This will also work along side your Auckland Passport and as you complete the activities for this week, you can also complete the last 2 sections under science ( identifying rocks, and naming the 52 volcanoes ) 


    Success Criteria: I can/have...

    • Identify the different types of rocks (igneous , sedimentary and metamorphic) 
    • Gain an understanding of how rocks can move through the different stages of the rock cycle. 

    Activities:

    1. Identify the rocks in your local neighborhood - you can also do this if you visit one of the dormant volcano sites within Auckland 
      • Maungawhau | Mt Eden.
      • Rangitoto. 
      • Ohinerau | Mt Hobson.
      • Pukekawa | Auckland Domain.

    Kia Ora 10M1, 


    This week we will be moving into volcanic eruptions and focusing on why there are different types of volcanic eruptions. 

    Google slides will be scheduled to released during session 1 at 8.30am on Google classroom. 

    Plan for the week is as follows: 

    Session 1: Brief re-cap on the rock cycle, followed by brain pop activity

    Session 2: Intro into volcanoes and magma

    Session 3 : Scientific Literacy   



    Success Criteria: I can/have...

    • understand how different types of magma cause different types of volcanic eruptions 

    Activities:

    1. Brainpop 
    2. Scientific Literacy
