Tangowahine School

We had a great time at Tanghowahine School, from looking at navigation, to Mars, and launching rockets.

Table of Contents

Good evening from Hari and Sam. We loved being at the school today!!! Thank you for having us. Here are some links to our resources or things you might find useful. Also, if you sign up for our newsletter, we will be adding new space materials.

Water Rockets

Rocket Launcher – click here for the link.

You will also need a nozzle – the black ones we had on the bottles today.

Also, they made a cool book – The awesome A–Z of how stuff works, packed with terms about rockets and how things work, and Hari features there, too, with a quote on the last page (the first page is a quote from Einstein).

The Navigators

We watched the Navigators movie today, and here is the link to our Navigators page with lots more information. We will add resources to this page as we find time to write them.

Matariki

Here is also our page on Matariki – it has 3 presentations that you can request access too and download to use in the classroom.

A movie for you

We made a movie from the photos and movies we took today. You can download the movie here.

We teach about:

Milky-Way.Kiwi supports the New Zealand Astrobiology Network (NZAN) with education services infrastructure and expertise.  

Beyond our school visit, through NZAN, your students can benefit from mentorship, astrobiology school holiday programmes, such as Spaceward Bound New Zealand Field Trip, Seeds in Space, and exclusive talks from our Mars and Planetary sciences experts. Our activities are undertaken under the “Moon to Mars” banner.
