Join Lyn Rogers and guest Aliki Weststrate from GNS in this free online interactive PLD session designed to explore some of the science involved in building our understandings of natural hazards.
We will introduce some readily available resources and activities and also delve into some of the exciting research happening in this field in New Zealand. We will discuss how engaging students in ‘real’ science stories can engage them in developing their own skills for science inquiry.
This content connects easily to other learning across the curriculum and can be adapted to any level.
