    Kia ora 8F2 students. This term our context is "Circus" and we will be exploring Physic through the eyes of a circus. Below you will find this terms Achievement Objectives and the Learning Intention for the next few weeks. 

    Big Idea: “Circus”.


    Achievement Objectives


    Nature of science

    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.


    Physical world


    Explore, describe, and represent patterns and trends for everyday examples of physical phenomena, such as movement, forces, electricity and magnetism, light, sound, waves, and heat. For example, identify and describe the effect of forces (contact and non-contact) on the motion of objects; identify and describe everyday examples of sources of energy, forms of energy, and energy transformations

    FOCUS / ARONGA


    FOCUS / ARONGA learning intentions:

    • We are FOCUSING on developing our knowledge of the creation of sound.
    • We are FOCUSING on identifying the difference between amplitude and frequency.
    • We are FOCUSING on describing the path sound takes throughout your ear.


    SUCCESS CRITERIA

    • Explain how sound is created.
    • Describe the terms frequency and amplitude.
    • Explain how sound travels through your ear.
