Direct Instruction /  Te Akoranga 

The learning intentions for this lesson was for the students to understand that Earth's four spheres are interconnected. 

Ko te tino whainga o te akoranga nei kia whai māramatanga ngā akonga ki te hononga i waenga i ngā pūnaha e wha o te Ao

This video shows us playing a game of Jenga. The Jenga pieces have pictures that represent the four spheres (used in the previous episode), we play and it does comes crashing down. The discussion we have following this explore how the spheres are connected and what happens if one of them falls. 

E whakaatu ana tēnei kiriata i a mātou e takaro ana i te kēmu "takataka rākau" (Jenga). He piktia i ngā rākau e whakaatu ana i ngā wāhanga rerekē o ngā pūnaha e wha o te Ao. Ka takaro mātou, ka taka te whare rākau, kātahi mātou ka kōrero mō ngā honongā ki waenga i ngā pūnaha e wha, me te pānga ki te hinga tētahi.
