"Science is a way of investigating, understanding and explaining our natural world, physical world and wider universe" (NZ Curriculum).

Students need to lean what science is and how scientists work as well as scientific knowledge.

Science programmes at Eastern Hutt aim to provide hands on investigations that will develop students' curiosity of the world around us and an interest in science.

School Gen Group

Today the School Gen group met. They are a group of year 5 and 6 students who are keen to promote School Gen. School Gen means that our school has a solar panel to make some electricity for the school.

The aim of our group is to teach other students about our solar panels and why they are important.

We are working in small groups to prepare presentations for each syndicate assembly.

This photo shows the solar panels on top of B Block's roof.

This photo shows the hottie box. This is where the solar energy from the sun is turned into electricity that can be used in the school.
