"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.

Magnets Are Magnificent

Over the last 3 weeks our 5 year olds have been investigating magnets.  They learnt lots of things.
  • Magnets can only stick to metal.
  • Magnets can stick to other magnets.
  • Magnets can push other magnets away.
  • Magnets can work through things but only if they are strong enough or the object is thin.
Look at D1's amazing blog to see what they did with magnets.  D1 Dragons.
