Imagine walking up steps through a wide open mouth, sliding down the throat and ending up in the stomach of an enormous walk-on board game!
Body in Action centres around the Guts Game - a board game with a difference. As you tour through the stomach and intestines, learn about what happens to your food as it makes its way through your body. All the messages are written in rhyme and the game is complete with wonderful sound effects.
Other exhibits are based on fairground attractions with challenges to test such things as strength, eye and brain power.
The hands-on activities support Health and Physical Education, Science and NCEA unit standards in Biology.

Nau Mai, Haere Mai ki te Pupuri Taonga o Te Tai Ao. He mihi tenei ki a koe.
Weeks 1 and 2, July 21 to Aug 1, are available exclusively for Maori Programmes.
There will be gaps for them during the rest of the term 3 and for all of Term 4.
This programme includes the waves of migration, the naming of local iwi and their origins, local stories, and viewing and responding to artifacts and images that represent local iwi.
Students learn about the structure of the wharenui, the patterns inside it and some of the protocols associated with a visit to a marae. Students design their own kowhaiwhai and tukutuku having heard some local legends.
Students will explore stories portrayed in tukutuku in the Iwi gallery. After listening to legends, students will act them out. Retelling helps them to remember the stories.
A programme has been developed using the area where Taonga Puoro are displayed in the lower gallery. We will also use taonga from our school collection and hands on activities will include making and playing a bamboo koauau.
Term 4 is a good time to get outdoors. We may be able help with science and social studies activities at your school camp or with other explorations that you are planning. Get in touch with us and share your ideas.
We have trialled a programme called the Maungatapu Murderers walk. It was successful as a resource for Yr13 History students but could be useful at other Secondary levels. Give us a call if you are interested.
Hopefully Natureland will still be open in Term 4 and we will be able to offer you Natural History programmes there.
