Join Science and Samoan: Exploring Our World and embark on an exciting journey where physics meets culture. Dive into the fascinating world of physical phenomena through the unique perspective of Samoan island life!

Explore the wonders of physics all around us, from waves and sounds to light, weather, cooking, moving, and dancing, while connecting with traditional Samoan culture to see how these physical phenomena are utilised, enhancing your understanding of both science and heritage. Immerse yourself in a bilingual learning experience, translating and integrating language, curriculum, and cultural knowledge, and work together to develop explanations of why the world works the way it does, using Samoan culture to deepen your understanding.
