Rerenga ki te Ao Tawhiti | Voyaging to Far Horizons

This term, our focus is on journeys: past journeys across te Moananui a Kiwa | the Pacific, and future journeys to Mars. Expect to combine:

• Physics (e.g., forces, space/time);  
• Matauranga Māori (e.g. navigation with the stars, waka building, matariki);
• Biology (e.g. photosynthesis, hydroponics, growing food in space)
• Earth Science (e.g. plate tectonics)
• Astronomy (e.g. solar system, Big Bang); with
• Ethical questions (e.g.  "We could colonise Mars, but should we?")

As for Term one, be ready to commit to literacy (reading and writing), numeracy, group work and a "hands-on" practical session once a week.

You will need: a device, or an exercise book and something to write with
