Trip Rooms 6 and 7

Room 6 & 7 enjoyed a trip to Mangere Mountain and Ambury Park.

Our trip was focused on looking at Volcanoes which have occurred in Auckland. We looked at the geological processes involved by doing two fun experiments - making an erupting volcano and looking at how high magma can shoot into the air. 

We investigated how Maori used the volcanoes - gardens, defence, view, settlement and how the existence of volcanoes was explained. 

We also had an education session examining what impact the volcanoes could still have on us today.  The students learned how to be prepared as per the Civil Defence instructions.
