Level 2: How people's activities influence
places like Maungakiekie/One Tree Hill and its surrounding area.
How people's use of the cone has been influenced by features of the
volcanic cone itself.
Learning Outcomes:
Students will:
Suggest how the shape and features of a volcanic cone like
Maungakiekie might influence what people do on and around it.
Examine the effects of people's activities on Maungakiekie/One Tree
Hill and its surrounding area.
Suggested Activities
Before taking the
Virtual Field Trip
brainstorm
all the things that people use Maungakiekie/One Tree Hill-Cornwall Park for. Refer
to the Level 1 Virtual Field Trip for ideas.
What might Maungakiekie/One Tree Hill have looked like when it erupted
20 000 years ago?
Investigate how volcanic cones like Maungakiekie/One Tree Hill were
formed
then discuss the likely features of a new volcano, eg. shape, number of
craters, colour, materials (rock and ash), size.
Individually or in pairs students draw Maungakiekie/One Tree Hill as
it might have looked 20 000 years ago.
They will need to sketch two outlines of their volcano.
Leave one outline sketch blank in the meantime.
On the other outline draw on, colour in and label the features
of the new-born volcano.
Annotate the sketch to with ideas about how the shape and features (e.g.
number of craters, rocks) of a volcanic cone like Maungakiekie might
affect what people do on and around it.
Alternatively - create papiermache models of volcanic cones.
The Department of Conservation (DOC) has a superb circular poster called
Volcano Mangere Mountain with a drawing by Chris Gaskin of
what a newly erupting volcano could have looked like. Contact
DOC's
Auckland Conservancy for copies.
During the Virtual Field Trip fill in the blank
PMI Chart.
After the Virtual Field Trip take the blank outline sketch
of Maungakiekie/One Tree Hill and draw on some of the activities
that Maori would have taken part in on the volcanic cone. (The
Stonefields
poster from the ARC would be very helpful.)
Next, draw on all the activities that take place in and around
Maungakiekie/One Tree Hill today.
Construct a
consequences wheel
to show the affect each of these activities has on Maungakiekie/One Tree Hill
and Cornwall Park.
Assessment
In groups the children select three activities and
complete a PMI Chart
to examine the effects of people's activities on Maungakiekie/One Tree Hill.
