NZQA suppresses grade rates for low-cohort standards.
This standard asks you to explain how Earth processes and features shape the landscape, and how Māori use of land connects to these scientific ideas. You'll pick a real landscape feature or area important to Māori (like a mountain, river, rock type, or earthquake), describe what's happening there geologically, and show how Māori knowledge and practices relate to that science.
You describe a landscape feature and name the Earth science concepts involved, then list how Māori knowledge or practices relate to it.
You explain how Māori approaches compare to the science—noting similarities, differences, and consequences—and describe impacts on whānau/hapū/iwi, the environment, knowledge, or the economy.
You analyse the relationships between Māori land use and Earth science in depth, discuss multiple impacts across social, environmental, knowledge, and economic areas, and explain the ethical principles that underpin these connections.
Standards typically taken alongside or after this one. Same subject, grouped by level.
