NZ CURRICULUM LINKS - SCIENCE ACHIEVEMENT AIMS
NATURE OF SCIENCE:
Understanding about science
Learn about science as a knowledge system: the features of scientific knowledge and the processes by which it is developed; and learn about the ways in which the work of scientists interacts with society.
Investigating in science
Carry out science investigations using a variety of approaches: classifying and identifying, pattern seeking, exploring, investigating models, fair testing, making things, or developing systems.
Communicating in science
Develop knowledge of the vocabulary, numeric and symbol systems, and conventions of science and use this knowledge to communicate about their own and others’ ideas.
Participating and contributing
Bring a scientific perspective to decisions and actions as appropriate.
PHYSICAL WORLD
Physical inquiry and physics concepts
Explore and investigate physical phenomena in everyday situations.
Physical concepts
Gain an understanding of the interactions that take place between different parts of the physical world and the ways in which these interactions can be represented.
Using physics
Apply their understanding of physics to various applications.

DATA LOGGING:
Datalogging provides a way to not only collect data through the sensors but to graph that data for further analysis.
