Tuakana teina refers to the relationship between an older (tuakana) person and a younger (teina) person and is specific to teaching and learning in the Māori context.
In our first tuakana teina lesson, we teamed up with a younger class (Pukeko) and taught the them how to create a volcano. To create this experiment, all you need is an empty bottle, baking soda and vinegar. We also used our school's sandpit to build the volcano! A chemical reaction occurs when you add vinegar to the baking soda - it creates a gas called carbon dioxide.
