You are going to explore pūngao puia as it relates to you, your hapori, or your rohe.
Pūngao puia is geothermal energy that is generated inside the earth and used by people for a variety of purposes. How it is used is an issue of local importance in Aotearoa New Zealand.
Identify the issue:
- choose an aspect of pūngao puia that generates more than one perspective. Your kaiako will support you to choose an aspect that is interesting to you.
Note: A perspective is a particular way of regarding an issue. It is shared by a group. Examples of groups include:
- iwi or hapū
- a local council
- a company or business.
Identify and explain:
- a key science idea that informs a science perspective, related to your selected pūngao puia issue
- another key perspective that relates to your selected issue and is informed by a knowledge system other than science
- a science-informed response to your selected issue
- things that could be done with a tiakitanga approach to this issue that would show guardianship for yourself, others, or your environment. Explain how this approach considers tiakitanga.
Give reasons:
- for the science-informed response that was taken to address your selected pūngao puia issue, why it was taken, and how it relates to both perspectives you have considered (science and another).
Discuss:
- why it is important for decision makers to consider more than one perspective when making a science-informed response to an issue. Use examples from your explanation of a tiakitanga approach and pūngao puia to support your discussion.

How to present your learning
Your findings could be presented in a variety of ways such as:
- a presentation (3-4 mins), that could be a video, a voice recording, or a live presentation in front of the kaiako or class
- a digital or paper poster, infographic, or slideshow (8-10 slides) that will include detailed annotations alongside diagrams or pictures
- a video or animation (3-4 mins)
- a written article, report, or blog (750-800 words), in te reo Māori, English or braille which may also include visual or tactile diagrams or pictures.
You must be actively involved in any group component to this assessment, and you will need to identify your contribution.

Getting started
Explore pūngao puia in Aotearoa New Zealand. Before you identify the aspect of pūngao puia that you want to focus on for your issue, you will need to:
- find information on geothermal related science such as:
- the structural layers of the earth
- the geology of geothermally active regions
- geothermal power plants
- different approaches to wastewater and its effects on the environment.
- spend time investigating the different perspectives that groups hold on pūngao puia:
- consider how people use pūngao puia
- talk to people from groups involved in the issue, such as iwi, power companies, GNS.
- think about tiakitanga in the context of pūngao puia. Consider how care, ownership, or responsibility are shown through things such as:
- access to this resource
- monitoring the impact of using this resource
- partnerships between different interested groups with different perspectives.
Your kaiako can provide resources as a starting point.
