Did the Earth Move? - Geography and Science

1EART2SC
Courses Description

Head of Pathway: Mr G. Van den Hoeven, Ms L. Neveling.

You will learn about tectonic plates and how volcanoes are created, with a focus on the Taupo volcanic field in the central North Island of Aotearoa New Zealand. You will learn about how volcanoes impact the place they are in, including the people who live there. Applying your new knowledge about earth processes, you will also think about how this science is communicated to the public.

In this course you will learn how to draw and use maps, draw diagrams, annotate photographs, talk about processes and interactions, and go on fieldtrips.

You will like this course if you like field trips, learning about the Earth and how our environment came to be, where and why things are around the world, critical thinking, and looking at maps and other visual information.
