House of Science Stations - Te Kōputu Turns 10

The House of Science team will be on site to explore the new ‘HOT STUFF’ kit (Te Wera Hoki), sponsored by Trust Horizon.
This kit has loads to teach us about energy, starting with unpacking just what energy is.
Energy is in everything, and energy is how things change and move.  It takes energy to drive a car, cook food and play rugby.
Heat energy is the focus of the student activities in this resource, although many different forms of energy are also introduced.  Why is my white t-shirt cooler than my black one?  How does the pot on the stove get hot enough to cook food?  Why does my jacket keep me warm?  Why do I get hot after running around the playground?  Where does heat energy come from?  How can we detect it?
We look forward to expanding science literacy with you!

Suitable for children of all ages.
When: Tuesday 17 May - 9am to 1pm
Where: Te Kōputu a te whanga a Toi (49 Kakahoroa Dr, Whakatāne)
