Science PD

Lesson Idea: The sun is a star! 

Put your thumb up if you know what is the closest star to earth?
What is it?

Why would we not think that the sun is a star?
When do we see the stars?

Looked at the different colors of the sun- this was different from their experience of the sun.
What does the sun look like in places around the world?- It can be filtered through distance, air pollution, filters e.t.c

Susan explained this links nicely with our Matariki learning. Try and make links and connections to help students see that learning is continuous.

**Sun is gas and plasma.
**Sun is now plasma 'superheated gas'.


Making connections is key to allowing students to be able to think. They need to see the relationship between things to help them be able to comprehend.

Lifelong learners.

We discussed teaching as a dance between Conformity and chaos. Students need to move between both in order to progress and develop.
