Consignas Carnaval 2023

ROCKS AND THEIR CLASSIFICATION

  In Social Science we are also learning about rocks.

Before talking about rocks I'd like you to review something you learnt in 2nd grade: THE LAYERS OF THE EARTH.

Some of these layers are closely related to rocks: the crust and the mantle. 

Here you have a video by Dr Binocs  that has become a friend of ours in the class.

We all know that there are different types of rocks. 

In the next video, you will understand the CLASSIFICATION OF ROCKS.

 Hope you enjoy it!!!

MATTER AND ITS PROPERTIES

 In Natural Science we are learning about MATTER.

We already know that matter is everything around us, that is, everything around us is made of matter.

Matter has some properties that define it: volume, mass and density.

We can measure volume (㎤), mass (g) and density (g/㎤).

 Matter can be in any of the three states we know: solid, liquid or gas.

Watch these videos and find out more!!!

In this last video you can sing and have fun with the Measuring Matter Song

MINERALS

  In Social Science we are learning many things about minerals and rocks. 

I have chosen several videos I know you are going to enjoy.

In the following two videos you are going to learn and understand the definition of mineral.

In the next video, you can visit the Canadian Museum of Nature and appreciate some really marvellous minerals.

Diamonds are the hardest minerals on Earth. So here you have a special video that shows you their characteristics and properties.

In this last video you can learn about the different uses of rocks and minerals.

HEALTH AND MEDICINE

 In Natural Science we are becoming familiar with  medicine discoveries to help people not to get ill or to cure them once they are ill.

Though there are many scientists and many discoveries, we are going to see some general ideas through some easy videos.

 I hope you like them and you learn a little bit more apart from the contents in your book.

We all know that vaccines are necessary and help us prevent very serious illnesses caused by virus. The first vaccine was discovered in 1796 by Edward Jenner. Here you have two videos in connection with the origin of vaccines and how they work.

We are also learning a little bit about antibiotics that help us cure infections caused by bacteria.

The first antibiotic to be discovered was penicillin. Penicillin was discovered not so long ago, in 1928, by Alexander Fleming.

In the first video you are going to find out a little bit about Alexander Fleming and his discovery. In the second video you will learn something about how antibiotics work.

MISTER FROSTY WINTER

Here you can watch the video of the Christmas carol we'll sing and dance on the 22nd of December

It's time to practise at home too!!!

INTERACTION: THE SENSES, THE NERVOUS SYSTEM AND THE LOCOMOTOR SYSTEM

 In connection with the life process of interaction we have reviewed our 5 senses (sight, hearing, smell, taste and touch). We studied them thoroughly last year, but here you have an interesting video about the organs of sight: our eyes.I hope you find it interesting.

About the nervous system there is so much to be said that I have chosen three videos for you to have a general view. I hope you learn a little bit more.

The last, but not least in connection, is our locomotor system that we studied also last year and we study in Physical Education as well. I also found an interesting video about our skeleton.
