My Hurumanu Science Goals:
1. My first goal is being safe lab no running around in the lab
2. Listening to the teacher when they are talking about experiment
3. To share your idea with other people in your class
GROUP ACTIVITY;
- Groups of 3 or 4 students.

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.

Kia ora Shanarnia. I really enjoyed reading your blog post. I think you have written some great goals for yourself for this science hurumanu. I particularly like your third goal about sharing your ideas with other people in the class. Will you reflect on these goals at the end of this hurumanu? What are some other things that you can do to be safe in the science lab? Keep up the great blog posting.
