This term in Science & Technology, Year Six will be engaging in the following unit:

Creators and Destroyers  focusing on volcanoes. - The students will learn that the surface of our Earth is slowly moving and changing over time. Students will learn that volcanic eruptions are often seen as devastating events causing destruction, but they are also instrumental in creating new islands and adding to the continents while providing rich fertile soils and mineral deposits. The Creators and Destroyers unit is an ideal way to link science with literacy in the classroom. Through hands-on investigations, students explore the structure and formation of volcanoes and plan and conduct an investigation of the viscosity of magma and its relation to volcano shapes.
