Data Streams: A crash course in data literacy using stream ecology
Level-up data literacy skills by practicing the "PPSTT" Framework for unlocking any graph's secrets. Students watch scientists model this approach & then try it on their own using multiple data types, including: the frequency of certain words in books, streamflow rates, and maps.

Students will follow in the soggy footsteps of scientists wading through ponds at night to record frogs as they learn about biological tradeoffs that connect humans to horses to frogs. Along the way, they'll decide which male a female frog should choose as a mate, based on analysis of call performance.

Lesson 1
In Lesson 1, students create graphs to show trade-offs using data from different scenarios. This helps them analyze the outcomes of their decisions and draw valid conclusions about the trade-offs they encounter, supporting the standard's focus on data analysis.

Mā te rauhiringa tātou e ora: Powerful Solutions: How do we provide sustainable energy to communities?
Learn about the energy all around us through a hands-on power generating lab, a web app exploring resilient energy mixes, and stories about Māui’s innovation. In Te Reo Māori, the unit title translates to "It is through positive energy that we thrive." This unit connects to Māori leadership in self-sufficiency and sustainability as inspiration for the future of energy engineering!
