Online Citizen Scientists

Mrs B is working with some other teachers in town and a small team to see if Online Citizen Science can help students become more engaged in Science.
As part of her project, she invited Victor Anton to come and show us his project about investigating what animals/birds are around different areas of  urban Wellington. He uses special 'motion detecting' cameras in specific places and these are set up with the web.


We can be helpful citizen scientists by helping him identify things in his photos - he has over 50,000 of them!

You can help too - Identify New Zealand Animals

Stixplosions!

Here's a fun STEAM activity we did in Rimu time today - all we used were Popsicle sticks, rubber bands, and blocks. Potential and kinetic energy - great stuff!




Try this at home! Stixplosions

Pest Free Tawa - Night Tour of Zealandia

A small group of us were very fortunate to go on a Night Tour of Zealandia as a reward for all the rat trapping we've been doing lately. What a treat!
