Today we got into role as a team of scientists who work for NZ COSSA and have been doing research on the research vessel, The Aumoana. We pretended we were in a morning meeting in one of the meeting rooms in the NZ COSSA building. We changed our faces, the way we sat, moved, made gestures, and spoke, to show who we were pretending to be. In the photos you can see that our faces and the way we sat showed that we were a table of adult scientists ready for a meeting.
Some of the comments made as we thought about getting into role:
“You might be wearing a suit that is tight”
Mia
“What kind of degree would we have?” (some of the degrees the team decided on: botany, biology, zoology, geology, marine science)
Louis
“We would need a high degree…lots of A+s!”
Lucy
Some of the comments made as we shifted into role:
“As you can see I’ve discovered a new ocean depth…..(showing a colleague some ‘work’ on one of the laptops)”
Max
“This new suit is quite tight and uncomfortable”
Julius
“I’m off to France soon for 2 weeks to study sea animals”
Georgia
