TYPES OF ENERGY (Unit 4-Science Y6)

Remember the definition of ENERGY:

It is the ability to do work.

Depending on what source we use to produce it we can have different types of energy:

ACTIVITY: In your groups or with a partner try to identify how is each type of energy produce.

• For example: electrical energy is produced by the flow of electric charge.

Let's watch this video, it may clarify our concepts, and makes everything easier:

To review you can make some activities:

THE DREAMING CORNER (English Y5-Y6)

As you know we are going to take part in the proyect "THE DREAMING CORNER"

To start with the proyect, the teacher would like to know what idea you have about it.

After that you will learn about how to develop a lesson.

To prepare your comprehension activities you could choose one of these activities.

ENERGY (Unit 4 - Science Y6)

Let's start with a new topic in Science. This week we are going to learn about ENERGY. 

First of all I want you to investigate about our daily life and activitiy. 

• Let's explore the school and try to find the different sources of energy that we use.

• What is the most frequently one?

Try to identify what these pictures are about. Once you have identify you can use your Dictionary or your laptop to know the name in English.

Let's show this video, and then clasify the previous photos into Non-renewables energy sources and Renewable energy sources. 

• Do you know any other non-renewable?
• Do you know any other renewable?

HOW TO PUBLISH A POST IN KIDBLOG

To begin you have to go to the blog and LOG IN with your user name and password. Here you have the last post we did about it. 

Mi Primer Año en Red XXI: My own blog

Once you are in your personal kidblog account. You have to look for NEW POST to start working. 

The first thing you have to do is choose and write the title fo the post, normally we will use the one which the teachers have given you as the title of the activity. But don't hesitate to be as more creative as posible. 

The next step you will find it would be a square in which you will write the body of your post, I mean, what you really want to tell us in this post. To deal with this part is very easy because it has the same functions as it was a text processor (Underline, bold, centred text, kind of letter...). In this body for writing we should follow this pattern: 

1. Greeting
2. Explanation of the activity. What is the activity about? 
3. The activity (Embed the  HTML, picture, etc...)
4. Farewell. 

In many occassions the post will include a Google Drive presentation, or some YouTube videos, etc. These are elements which are embed in our post through an computer programming language: It is called HTML. We will explain you how to look for this code later, because each website has a concrete way of doing it. By the moment we want to show you how to introduce in a post. 

1. Copy the HTML code from the original website (Google Drive, YouTube, etc...)
2. You have to put your post in HTML mode by clicking in the convenient tab (let's have a look to the following picture). 
3. Paste the  HTML code in the correct place in which we want it to take up.  e
4. Let's go back to the normal view of the post (Visual tab) and check if everything is ok. 

If we want to add and upload a picture in our post we will do it by clicking in UPLOAD/INSERT MEDIA

The last thing we have to do before publishing our post it will be to write the TAGS. (It will help us to organize the information we are offering and it will make easier the later search). The tags will be separated by commas and following by a space. 

The TAGS will be the same for all the students. And there will be some which are the same in all the activities: 

• colsangregorio.
• RedXXI

And there will be other TAGS which will change depending on the activity. 

• English / Science (Depending on the subject of the activity)
• Title of the activity (For the first one it will be: My first presentation).

Finally we just have to publish it for everybody to read and see. First we will click on PREVIEW and we will be able to check that everything is correct and then we will click on PUBLISH. 

Sometimes you may stop and you haven't finished the post so we will save it as a draft by clicking SAVE DRAFT. 

If you want to recover this post that you have saved as a draft first you have to click on our name to go to our account and once you are in your account we will click on REVIEW POSTS

Let's click on the title of the post you want to publish and it will be opened as at the beggining, so click on PUBLISH.
