My Hurumanu Science Goals:



1. My first goal is to get a science badge.


2. My second goal is to get many comments in my blog.


3.  My third goal is to post many blog about science.

GROUP ACTIVITY; 

1. Groups of 3 or 4 students.
2. Need A3 copy paper.

THE ICECAPS HAVE MELTED. MOST OF THE LAND IN THE WORLD HAS BEEN FLOODED AND YOU AND YOUR FRIENDS ARE ON A BOAT IN THE MIDDLE OF KNOW WHERE. YOUR BOAT IS SUDDENLY STRUCK BY A STORM AND YOU BECOME SHIPWRECKED ON A SMALL ISLAND. YOU ARE ONLY ALLOWED TO SELECT 20 ITEMS FOR YOUR GROUP. A SECOND BOAT IS TRAVELLING NEAR YOU BUT WILL NOT BE ABLE TO REACH YOU FOR 1 MONTH SO YOU NEED TO GATHER ENOUGH SUPPLIES TO LAST FOR A MONTH.

In your group you need to:

1. Make a list of the 10 things you are going to collect.
2. Draw a map of the island.
4. Draw and label the activities you will be involved with.

• Renewable energy sites ( wind, solar, hydro, )
• Living / shelter
• Growing food
• Write 3 sentences about how your group is going to live for the next month.

When you are drawing your map you need to list 4 places you can have renewable energy sites.

WATCH THIS VIDEO AND COMPLETE THE INVESTIGATION.
