Your Athletics Training Reflection

 Kia ora koutou oku tauira pukumahi

I admit I have high expectations of you and they are underpinned by the belief that you CAN and WILL train more effectively and purposefully if YOU took complete charge of your training. However, many of you exceeded even my expectations. It was a delight to witness you totally engrossed in training you had planned.- informed by reflecting on how effective your training was, what next.. and researching coaching advice from the internet.  Tino miharo to koutou whakaritenga!

Now I would like you to:

1. Choose a reflection from your 'Log It or Lose It' OR your Portfolio Entry 2 which best captures your response to/in this module of learning.

2. Check for any spelling/punctuation/grammatical errors and edit.

3. Copy and paste it here.

Your task over the next week is to respond to the posts of three classmates. I know you will ensure your responses are: POSITIVE   SUPPORTIVE   HELPFUL

Te Ahurea Putaiao Science Fair

 10T are starting their Science Fair projects. They are identifying topics that have value for different audiences. They find topics that are going to useful for groups of people society. It would be very helpful if there is a topic you could suggest as being very helpful and interesting that we do not already know the answer for. 

Food and Digestion

Kia Ora Whanau,

I have completed teaching Food and Digestion Unit to my Year 9T Science students. The  Success Criteria that I wanted my students to achieve upon completion of the unit are as follows:

• Name the parts of the human digestion system including each type of tooth.
• Describe the steps of the digestion process from ingestion to excretion.
• Describe what happens to the food in each part of the digestive system.
• Explain why enzymes are important to digestion.
• Name the five food groups.
• Describe a chemical test to identify starch, glucose, protein and lipid in food.
• Explain why each food group is needed in the human body.
• Describe animals as either carnivores, herbivores or omnivores.
• Relate the feeding mechanism of carnivores, herbivores and omnivores to their food types.

In the comments below are the students reflection that demonstrates their understanding of the success criteria. Please feel free to comment on students reflections.
