Te whakaatu māramatanga ki ētahi āhuatanga e pā ana ki a Ranginui
This standard asks you to show you understand some key ideas about Ranginui (the sky realm) in science. You'll need to use scientific language to explain things like observing the night sky, using telescopes and space technology, and how the moon and sun affect Earth—including connections to Papatūānuku (Earth). You'll demonstrate this through written work like reports or newspaper articles.
You identify and describe features of the night sky and space technology using correct science terms, with brief explanations of how they relate to each other.
You explain how telescopes and space technology work and describe clear connections between sky phenomena and Earth, such as the moon's effects on tides or Earth's day-night cycle.
You provide detailed explanations of how celestial bodies interact with Earth, use sophisticated scientific reasoning to describe space technology and observations, and consistently make meaningful connections between the sky realm and Earth in your work.
