Science through a Matariki Lens

Science through a Matariki Lens (Maramatanga, Whanaungtanga, Kotahitanga)

Eleanor Snowsill - Rosmini College

My three lessons are on Māori Science.

It explains how Māori used Science before Europeans from Navigation using stars to Understanding Plant hormones and the Physics of Kite flying.

Each lesson has a practical component.

We are talking about the wisdom of ancestors being passed on and shared and the fact that Māori should consider themselves scientists.
