"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.

Ocean Acidification (Part 2)


These eggs have been in vinegar for about 5 days. As you can see the shell is coming off.
When you touch the eggs they feel soft and rubbery.
Some of the eggs broke open when you poked them because the shell was so soft.

This experiment demonstrates what happens to the shells of animals in the sea if the sea becomes too acidic.
