What Are Active and Passive Voice?
Can you write definitions for ‘active’ and ‘passive’ voice?
Active Voice
In an active sentence, the subject performs the action (the verb) to the
object.
Passive Voice
In a passive sentence, the thing that would normally be the object gets
turned into the subject through the use of the passive form of the verb.
They often include a prepositional phrase starting with ‘by’.
Do you and your partner agree?
Identifying Parts of the Sentence
To be able to recognise and use active and passive voice, you must be
able to identify the parts of the sentence. In the following sentences,
identify the subject, action (the verb) and object:
The plane is boarded by the family.
Did you notice the preposition ‘by’ in some of these sentences?
The damage was caused by the storm.
Issac threw a ball at the window.
The magician pulled a rabbit from the hat.
Helen practised her recorder every day.
The flowers were grown by my nan.
The plane is boarded by the family.
The damage was caused by the storm.
Issac threw a ball at the window.
The magician pulled a rabbit from the hat.
Helen practised her recorder every day.
The flowers were grown by my nan.

Changing Sentences
It is possible to change a sentence from active to passive voice, or from
passive to active voice. It is important that you do not change the tense of
the sentence. Have a go at altering these sentences:
On the plain, the lioness chased an antelope.
.
Are your new sentences active or passive?
Harry ate sandwiches for lunch.
The carrots are always eaten by my brother.

Tricky Passive SentencesRead these passive sentences. What do you notice about them?
They all have an action and a subject but none of them have a object.
Sometimes the prepositional (by…) phrase can be removed and the
sentence will still make sense – you just won’t know who/what performed
the verb.
The present was opened.
The jewellery was stolen.
The bicycle was ridden.
The jewellery was stolen.
The bicycle was ridden.
The present was opened.

Lesson 1 - Draw nets of 3D shapes
The Earth’s Crust
The Earth has four layers:
The outer core: This area is made of
iron and nickel. It is very hot!
The inner core: This is the warmest
layer. Temperatures can reach
5,500°C.
The mantle: This the widest part. It
is extremely hot and is consists of
semi-molten magma.
The crust: This is the outermost layer.
The land we stand on is not just one
solid piece. It is made of many pieces
called plates. These plates fit
together like puzzle pieces.
The Earth’s Plates
The Earth’s plates are
always moving. They
move so slowly that we
usually can’t feel it.
The edges of plates
are called faults. Faults
can rub together, push
toward each other, or
pull away from each
other.
Have a look at the
Earth’s plates. What do
you notice about where
New Zealand is?
How Can You Move Your Plates?
Use the two pieces of paper you have been given.
Can you remember the different ways the plates around?
Rubbing together Towards each other Away from each other
This kind of movement causes earthquakes.
Where do Earthquakes Occur?
Look at the map. Earthquakes happen frequently in these
areas. What do you notice about where they happen?
Preparing for an Earthquake
Plan Practise Find Safe Places
You need to have an
emergency plan at
home and school.
Have your survival kit
or getaway kit ready to
go.
At school we practise
our emergency drills,
we need to do this at
home too.
Remember:
COVER, DROP,
HOLD!
Before an earthquake
make sure you know
where the safe places
are – under a strong
table, away from glass,
in a doorway, near a
wall...
Preparing for an EarthquakeNo one can predict when an earthquake will occur. You need an emergency
plan and an emergency survival kit.
Packing an Emergency Kit:
Include the following items:
• plenty of water;
• a torch and spare batteries;
• emergency whistles;
• spare shoes and clothes;
• a first aid kit;
• a battery operated radio.
What else could you include in
an emergency kit?
During an Earthquake
Inside Outside
Drop, cover and hold, stay away
from windows. Do not try to run
out of the building during strong
shaking, hold tight until the
shaking stops.
Drop, cover and hold, try to
move away from buildings,
trees, power lines and street
lights.
If you are near a beach, when
the shaking stops, go to higher
ground in case of a tsunami.
After an Earthquake
Listen to the radio for information.
Be aware of aftershocks.
Get help if you need it, see if you
can help others.
Try to get outside if the building
you are in is damaged.
Look after your pets, they will be
scared too!
How Strong Is It?
There are two main ways to
measure the power of an
earthquake.
Machines called seismographs
measure the power of an
earthquake at its epicentre on a
scale called the Richter scale.
Another measure is the Mercalli
scale, and this is based on people’s
observations during an earthquake.
Comparing EarthquakesMercalli Intensity Effect
I Felt by no one.
II Felt by very few people. Hanging objects may swing.
III Felt by many but they don’t realise it is an earthquake.
IV Felt indoors by most people. Vibrations similar to a lorry hitting a building.
VFelt by nearly everyone. Sleeping people may be woken. Trees and telegraph
poles sway.
VI Felt by all. People run outside. Furniture moves. Slight damage to property.
VII Felt by all. People run outside. Moderate damage to buildings
VIII Specially designed buildings damaged, others collapse.
IX All buildings damaged. Cracks appear in ground.
X Many buildings destroyed.
XIAlmost all buildings destroyed. Wide cracks in the ground. Water, gas and
electric out of action.
XII Total destruction. The ground moves in waves or ripples.
