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 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.

Watch the presentation that I have shared with you in one drive Natural Science.

Here are some photos of bacteria you can look at ... You will have to find visuses and fungi..

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

and corner is pretty darned cute. (via Lost at E Minor)

CELL RAP

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.
