Theme of environmental pollution and human impact through Science
Nature of science: “Scientific research sometimes reveals that environmental problems can be linked to human activity. This balance between environmental needs and our needs is often the subject of debate involving scientists, iwi, environmentalists, authorities and local people. Such discussions lead to further scientific exploration and possible solutions and mitigation.”

Te Ara
Māhoe wood was used by Māori for fire-making. By rubbing a pointed stick of kaikōmako rapidly in a grooved piece of soft māhoe wood, they could heat the māhoe to ignition point. A fine fluff of dry moss, wood dust or beaten flax was placed in the groove and when that was alight, larger dry material such as raupō (shown bound up in a pile) was placed over the flame.”) This can be traced back to the story of Maui and his Aunty Mahuika, the goddess of fire.
