Māui Harnesses the Sun to Lengthen the Days

Описание: 🌞 The Sun is a crucial source of energy and power.

🤔 Māori people recognized the Sun's important role in their lives, and this story recounts Māui's quest to slow down the Sun and provide more power for his people!

ℹ️ This video supports GP's "Mā te rauhiringa tātou e ora: Powerful Solutions" unit, aimed at grades 8-12. Learn about the energy all around us through a hands-on power generating lab, a web app exploring resilient energy mixes, and stories about Māui’s innovation. In Te Reo Māori, the unit title translates to "It is through positive energy that we thrive." This unit connects to Māori leadership in self-sufficiency and sustainability as inspiration for the future of energy engineering!

🍎 This video and unit align to NGSS standards:
HS-ETS1-3: Evaluate a solution to a complex real-world problem based on prioritized criteria and trade-offs that account for a range of constraints, including cost, safety, reliability, and aesthetics as well as possible social, cultural, and environmental impacts.
HS-ETS1-1: Analyze a major global challenge to specify qualitative and quantitative criteria and constraints for solutions that account for societal needs and wants.
HS-ESS3-4: Evaluate or refine a technological solution that reduces impacts of human activities on natural systems.
HS-ETS1-4: Use a computer simulation to model the impact of proposed solutions to a complex real-world problem with numerous criteria and constraints on interactions within and between systems relevant to the problem.
HS-ESS3-2: Evaluate competing design solutions for developing, managing, and utilizing energy and mineral resources based on cost-benefit ratios.
