A MAGNET

It can attract objets made of iron or mixtures of iron.

MAGNETISM

Gracias a los colaboradores que nos brindaron un día tan agradable.

ELECTRICITY AND MAGNETISM (Unit 5 - Science Y6)

We are going to start a new topic, this time we are going to deal with ELECTRICITY and MAGNETISM.

• What's happening in the photo?
• How is that phenomenon produced?
• Do thunder and lightning occur at the same time?
• If so, Why don't we listen them at the same time?

LET'S HAVE A LOOK TO AN EXPERIMENT, it will be very useful to understand the different concepts. 

 Do you think all objects have electric charges?

We can have 

• Objects positively charged.
• Objects negatively charged.
• Objects which are neutral.

When we rub to objects made of different materials, we are creating STATIC ELECTRICITY.

LET'S REVIEW THE VOCABULArY WITH THIS ACTIVITY. 

Rutina pensamiento 3X1 y evaluación Semana Juan María 2013

Hemos vivido una semana muy interesante, llena de cosas diferentes, de momentos de convivencia con otros cursos, de símbolos que hablaban de nuestro colegio como las redes, de momentos de ocio compartidos como el viernes y otros tantas cosas especiales que seguro tenéis en vuestras cabezas.

Ahora toca evaluar, toca ver lo positivo de esa semana y aquello que quizás tenemos que hacer de forma diferente para próximos años. Y para eso necesitamos de vuestra ayuda, estos dos cuestionarios no os llevarán mucho tiempo. 

El primero es una rutina de pensamiento 3X1 que ya hemos realizado en más ocasiones, recuerda son tres aspectos positivos y uno para mejorar. 

Y el segundo es una encuesta donde tenéis que dar nota a cada uno de los aspectos y momentos que hemos vivido durante la semana pasada. 

Recuerda dos cosas importantes:

• Tú opinión es importante por lo tanto no hagas esto a la carrera. Tómate tu tiempo para pensarlo y reflexionar.
• Cuando termines tendrás que pinchar en SUBMIT o ENVIAR para que tu opinión quede registrada. 

20 de Noviembre de 2013: Día internacional de los derechos del niño (e-twinning task)

Today we celebrate that on the 20th of November 1959 the United Nations adopted THE DECLARATION OF THE RIGHTS OF THE CHILD.

• Read the right.
• Understand it. 
• Write it down with your own words.
• Try to make a good picture related with it.We will use it to make it easier to undertand to other people who don't speak our languages. 
• We are going record a video in which you say the right. Maybe you can say, you can act it, etc....

VIDEOS ABOUT ENERGY (Science Y6)

Tengo el placer de presentaros los post publicados por los alumnos de 6ºB en la asignatura de Science.

Estos posts han sido publicados en el blog de aula:

Los alumnos han utilizado la herramienta de la web 2.0 POPPLET para hacer sus propios diagramas o mapas conceptuales sobre la unidad 3 ENERGY. 

Después han utilizado sus propios mapas conceptuales para construir un vídeo utilizando la web tool http://www.screencast-o-matic.com/. 

Ese vídeo es "upload" por ellos mismos a su propio canal de youtube para terminar con todo ello, en su propio blog, construyendo un post dedicado a resumir y entender mejor la unidad.

Aquí os dejo con cada post hecho por cada alumno.
