ELECTRICITY (Unit 5 - Science Y5)

Have a look to this photo. It is a Hydroelectric Power Plant.

•  How do you think electricity is produced in this dam?

• What kind of source of energy is it?

Let's have a look to that video. It will show you the way the electricity has from its production to its cosumption at your homes.

Now we will invite you to read all the information the class book gives you about this process and do this quizz to show how much you have learnt about it.

MAGNETS & MAGNETISM (Unit 5 - Science Y5)

Today we are going to learn and investigate about MAGNETISM.

LET'S START WITH A WONDERFUL SONG!! (Pay attention with the vocabulary)

A MAGNET

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

MAGNETISM

It is the attraction created by a magnet.

LET'S LEARN A BIT MORE ABOUT THIS ISSUE IN THE FOLLOWING LINK

MAGNETIC FORCES

TEST YOURSELF

LOOK FOR THE POLES AND THE MAGNETIC FIELD IN THIS ACTIVITY

If you have more time and you want to learn a bit more and do some  extra-activities about magnetism. Let´s have a look into this link. 

ELECTRICAL CURRENT AND ELECTRIC CIRCUITS (Unit 5 - Science Y6)

Let's learn about the ELECTRICAL CURRENT and THE CIRCUITS. Pay attention it will be very useful to create circuits.

In these lessons you will learnt the different components of a circuit and how to build them.

If you have finish, and you have more time you can check all what you have learnt with this two activities. They are fun and you will review and learn more.

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. 

Y6B ELECTRIC CIRCUITS

These are the final tasks about the activity:

HANDS ON MAKE YOUR ELECTRIC CIRCUIT

Here you can find the different Y6B ELECTRIC CIRCUITS.

MARÍA TORICES´ ELECTRIC CIRCUIT
LAURA´S ELECTRIC CIRCUIT

HANDS ON! MAKE YOUR ELECTRIC CIRCUIT

As a final task for this Science Unit we invite you to create an electrical circuit and explain it to show all your knowlegde about this topic. You will work with a partner.

To create your electrical circuit you need the following:

• 1.5 volt battery.
• A light bulb holder.
• A light bulb.
• A switch.
• Some wires.

In this video you can watch a person who is going to show you how to make the circuit. Let's have a look before you start to create you own one.

Now it's your turn. Let's create your own one. 

When you finish it, you will record a video explaning the electrical circuit. Before that you have to write down in your notebook the script. 

This notes may help you to do it:

• Hello, We are...........
• We've made an electrical circuit.
• The electrical circuit has got four basic componect.
• Generator: It is the source of electricity.
•  .....
•  ......
• ......
• In my circuit this is the Generator, then the electricity travels through this wires,....................
• Bye, Bye. We hope you've understood and you've liked it.

Then upload your video to you Youtube Channel and create a post in your kidblog. In the post you have to:

• Say Hello.
• Explain this is the final task of the Science Unit.
• In this Science unit we have learnt the four parts of the circuit which are:
• Generator............
• .........
• ...........
• ............
• We have created one circuit and recorded the explanation in this video.
• Insert the video.
• Say Bye, Bye

You will be asses with this rubric.
