TEMPLATES FOR BIOGRAPHIES OF SCIENTISTS

MARIE CURIE, COPÉRNICO , GALILEO

Begin by producing a written  document about his life, his work and his most important invention. This should include information about the most important moments in his life and images. It should also show the importance of his invention then after and the effect on our lives today.

Have a look at the templates about the wolf to present your work.

For Marie Curie you will also have to produce a presentation using PowToon.

Carnaval.

Your group will dress up as important elements in the life story and invention(s) of  copernico, Galileo and Marie Curie.  Within the groups one will be the scientist, or scientists and the others will dress up as objects related to their discoveries, a telescope, some radioactive element...

Drama. (for book week)

You are going to prepare a short sketch dramatising the time of his greatest invention. You need to think about the characters, write the script and perform it. It should last a few minutes (5 maximum). The language should be fairly simple; the audience will be Y4.

Christmas

CHRISTMAS HOMEWORK

·         SCIENCE: Look for a picture of you aged 1 or 2. Don’t show to any of your partners. Send it to my email address.

·         SOCIAL  SCIENCE:

TASK ONE:  You will need to record temperatures, high and low throughout the following week (Monday to Sunday). Also precipitation and sunny/cloudy to produce a table in which you will record it.

TASK TWO:  I would like you to send me photographs of where you are, but they will need to be related to the weather or to one activity related to this time of the year and that has to do with activities in farming , leisure or other activity relate to this time of the year... It has to be your own picture. Write two or three lines explaining what we can see there. ( EL TIEMPO Brasero.  Antena 3)

HAPPY           CHRISTMAS

SOCIAL  SCIENCE HOMEWORK

• I shared with you two climate graphs of Madrid and London. Look and them and try to compare the two climates using sentences to compare. Write as many as you can. Make sure that you compare precipitacion, highest temperatures, lowest and when they happen.

• YOUR TEST    There will be a simple Science test on Wednesday, You will just need to revise different climates and vegetation in europe. But there will be a piece of computer work for you to do. Go to page 40 of your book and make sure that you will be able to carry out the task described there.
• Your last task will be to reflect on the following thought and include in your presentation a little reflection about this:

Water pollution kills animals and can destroy whole ecosystems. All the water that people drinks comes from a natural source, usually a river or a lake. Dirty water can make us very ill. People can also be affected by water pollution when they eat fish that have been poisoned.Your reflection can consist of: some photos with comic like bubbles, a poem with some illustrations or a little video clip of you talking about it .

NATURAL SCIENCE HOMEWORK

You will have to find two bad bacteria and two good bacteria. Write why they are good and bad. Do the same with virus and fungi. Present that using the tool that you like.

SOCIAL SCIENCE THE WEATHER IN EUROPE

http://www.weatheronline.co.uk/Europe.htm

You know when you’re horsing around at the beach and accidentally swallow a nasty gulp of salt water? Well I hate to break it to you but that foul taste wasn’t just salt. Photographer David Littschwager captured this amazing shot of a single drop of seawater magnified 25 times to reveal an entire ecosystem of crab larva,diatoms, bacteria, fish eggs, zooplankton, and even worms. Read more about what you probably don’t want to know at Dive Shield. We do admit the little crab larva in the lower right-h

CELLS INTRODUCTION

CELLS

 We are about to learn about cells, which are the basic units of life.
Over the weekend, I would like you to do two tasks:


TASK ONE:

Watch the video clip below. It has been made with an application called PowToon. It compares a plant cell with an amusement park. Watch the video twice or three times. Identify the parts of the cells that your book shows on page 41.
Some of the parts are compared to the structure of an amusement park, which ones and to what are they being compared?

On the video, there are two spelling mistakes. Can you spot them?

What do you think about this type of presentation. Would you like to try and use it?


TASK TWO:

Cell Art

I want you to draw a picture using different types of cells. For example: plant cells, differetn animal cells from: heart tissue, muscle tissue, liver tissue , nervous tissue ( these are very interesting). Do it  nicely on an A3 sheet of paper. You can use crayons or paint to colour it. Look for images of all these cells on the Internet and try to copy some of them to do your composition. On the back side of the paper you will need to describe how you did it and the types of cells that are shown. Remember, this needs to be a nice work of art inspired by cells.

I am also going to ask you about how to keep your circulatory and excretory system healthy. You can find information on the kidshealth web.
Do activities 1 and four from your book.

TO HAND IN WITH YOUR TEST

You are going to produce a leaflet about blood donation. on this leaflet you will have to give information about what to do if you want to be  a donator. On the blog there is a link where you can find information. There is also a video clip that I posted a few days ago. Imagine this leaflet is for someone who lives in Zamora. You will need to give information on where to go to donate in Zamora and how to find out the days when you can go. On Monday, in class, you can share with the others what you have done and share it. Finally it will have to be printed for the test.

Roman Women

Here  is a piece of text  about Roman Women for you to read and extract some information.

MORE ABOUT ROMAN WOMEN AND CHILDREN

Roman wives were expected to have children, but the women of the aristocracy, accustomed to a degree of independence, showed a growing disinclination to devote themselves to traditional motherhood. By the 1st century CE, most elite women avoided breast-feeding their infants themselves, and hired wet-nurses.^[75]  The extent to which Roman women might expect their husbands to participate in the rearing of very young children seems to vary and is hard to determine. Family-values traditionalists such as Cato appear to have taken an interest: Cato liked to be present when his wife bathed and swaddled their child.^[82]

Large families were not the norm among the elite even by the Late Republic; the family of Clodius Pulcher, who had at least three sisters and two brothers, was considered unusual.^[83] The birth rate among the aristocracy declined to such an extent that the first Roman emperor Augustus (reigned 27 BCE–14 CE) passed a series of laws intended to increase it, including special honors for women who bore at least three children (the ius trium liberorum).^[84] Those who were unmarried, divorced, widowed, or barren were prohibited from inheriting property unless named in a will.^[85]

Roman women were not only valued for the number of children that they produced, but also for their part in raising and educating children to become good citizens. To rear children for successful lives, an exemplary Roman mother needed to be well-educated herself.^[86]

Roman women were not confined to their house as were Athenian women in the Archaic and Classical periods. Wealthy women traveled around the city in a litter carried by slaves.^[135] Women gathered in the streets on a daily basis to meet with friends, attend religious rites at temples, or to visit the baths. The wealthiest families had private baths at home, but most people went to bath houses not only to wash but to socialize, as the larger facilities offered a range of services and recreational activities,.

For entertainment women could attend debates at the Forum, the public games (ludi), chariot races, and theatrical performances. By the late Republic, they regularly attended dinner parties, though in earlier times the women of a household dined in private together.^[137] Conservatives such as Cato the Elder (234–149 BCE) considered it improper for women to take a more active role in public life; his complaints indicated that indeed some women did voice their opinions in the public sphere.^[138]

Though the practice was discouraged, Roman generals would sometimes take their wives with them on military campaigns. Caligula's mother Agrippina the Elder often accompanied her husband Germanicus on his campaigns in northern Germania, and the emperor Claudius was born in Gaul for this reason. Wealthy women might tour the empire, often participating or viewing religious ceremonies and sites around the empire.^[139] Rich women traveled to the countryside during the summer when Rome became too hot.^[140]

Roman divorce was as simple as marriage. Just as marriage was only a declaration of intent to live together, divorce was just a declaration of a couple’s intent not to live together. All that the law required was that they declare their wish to divorce before seven witnesses. 

Because marriages could be ended so easily, divorce was common, particularly in the upper classes. When she divorced, a wife could expect to receive her dowry back in full and would then return to patria potestas – the protection of her father. If she had been independent before her wedding, she would regain her independence upon divorce. 

Roman women usually married in their early teenage years, while men waited until they were in their mid-twenties. As a result, the materfamilias (mother of the family) was usually much younger than her husband. 

As was common in Roman society, while men had the formal power, women exerted influence behind the scenes. It was accepted that the materfamilias was in charge of managing the household. In the upper classes, she was also expected to assist her husband’s career by behaving with modesty, grace and dignity. 

Baby love? 

The influence of women only went so far. The paterfamilias had the right to decide whether to keep newborn babies. After birth, the midwife placed babies on the ground: only if the paterfamilias picked it up was the baby formally accepted into the family. 

If the decision went the other way, the baby was exposed – deliberately abandoned outside. This usually happened to deformed babies, or when the father did not think that the family could support another child. Babies were exposed in specific places and it was assumed that an abandoned baby would be picked up and taken a slave. 

Infant mortality 

Even babies accepted into the household by the paterfamilias had a rocky start in life. Around 25 percent of babies in the first century AD did not survive their first year and up to half of all children would die before the age of 10. 

As a result, the Roman state gave legal rewards to women who had successfully given birth. After three live babies (or four children for former slaves), women were recognized as legally independent. For most women, only at this stage could they choose to shrug off male control and take responsibility for their own lives. 

YEAR 6 HOMEWORK

Go through this last part of the interview and extract some information to add to the labels that go with the pictures of the different stages of a fetus.

Homework for Wenesday
