Kaitiakitanga in Science

Kaitiakitanga:

In my own words, kaitiakitanga might mean looking after a area such as a lake or forest by someone. It also might mean taking responsibility of your own environment and making it healthy for other people. This is mainly based on the culture, Maori.

First Thoughts:

Caring for the environment is really important to me because, if I don't my environment will become dirty, cold, rusty and it could even make people sick. I want to care for my environment so it would be healthy for me and other people to live on. This is what I want the world to be 100%.

Aim:

Our class has to grow some vegetables as it is our task in Science. We have to pair up with someone, Azaliah and I are partners and we agreed on growing Carrots.


Method:

1- Grab a empty egg carton
2- Cut it so there are only 6 holes
3- Fill each hole with soil
4- Poke a hole in the centre of the soil
5- Put in each hole a seed
6- Covered it up
7- Water it
8- Pick it up
9- Put it somewhere with enough sunlight
10- And water it with enough water everyday

Water Cycle:

Prediction:

I predict that our water cycle bag will be filled with air.

Observation:

My observation is, what would change with my water cycle bag? Well, yesterday the bag just had normal cold water in it. Today, inside the bag it started to drip water. And when I touched the bag it felt like there was something squishy and wet in it. I think Evaporation and Precipitation happened in the bag.
