Investigating Insulation in Reading

Some of our Reading groups in Te Māuru-e-taki-nei are learning how they can use their reading skills to investigate science concepts.  This week the Kakapo group have been reading and learning about insulation.

Writing down the temperatures.
Measuring the temperature of the water.



This is what we found out:
