Science and Technology in Terres de Ponent High School (6th grade)

Hello, how are you?

Two weeks ago, we participated in the 2nd Science and Technology Cycle, organised by Terres de Ponent High School, here in Mollerussa.

We want to thank all the teachers and students involved in this project. We took active part in activities related to electricity and electromagnets, which were very interesting, motivating and perfectly designed.

In fact, Electricity and Magnets are going to be our next contents to study, and this made the Cycle even more interesting for us!

It is a mammal, but it lays eggs!!! It also seems a mixture of different animals:

• It has the beek of a duck!
• It has the tail of a beaver!
• It has the legs of an otter!

Wow!!!

Why do snakes shed their skin? (5th B grade)

Why do snakes shed their skin?

by pupils of 5thB

Snakes shed their skin because of 2 reasons:

• The snake's skin doesn't grow as the animal grows.
• To remove parasites attached to their old skin.

This video shows a snake changing its skin:

How often do they shed skin? 

Well, it depends on the age and the species. 

• Younger snakes usually shed their skin every 2 weeks, because they are actively growing.
• Older snakes usually shed their skin twice (2 times) a year.
