Ko au te taiao: How to use this resource

Consider ways you can use this resource within your setting.

Ko au te taiao: recognising we are nature through mātauranga Māori and Te Papa’s Collections, is designed in two sections:

Explore

Explore some of the traditional mātauranga that has developed from a living relationship with our environment. This section is focused on knowledge acquisition and linking to the rich collection in Te Papa Collections Online.

Create

Create and grow your own relationship to te taiao. This section is focused on learner participation and action in response to the explore section.

You can choose the level of engagement that suits you and your needs. Each of the activities requires no other activities to have been completed. You are able to curate a selection of activities that suit you and your learners.

If you would like a comprehensive inquiry journey, then start at the beginning of the Explore section and once that is completed, move through to the Create section.
