Oberving a macro cell: an egg! (5th Grade)

Hello boys and girls!

As you know, 5th Grade pupils are learning about the cells.

Most of the cells are so tiny that are invisible to the human eye; we need a microscope to see them.

But, if we look at an unfertilized egg, we can see a cell! In fact, the YOLK (yellow part) is a single cell.

We could identify:

• the cytoplasm (yellow)
• the membrane (by smashing soflty the yolk)
• the nucleus (a white spot in the cytoplasm)

STEM Challenge #10: Hibernating bears (4th Grade)

Hello!

STEM Challenge #10 was also carried out by pupils from 4th A Grade. Have a look at their nests ;)

Our body songs (3rd B Grade)

Hi everyone!

And here you can watch some more videos from 3rd B Grade.
We have to congratulate our pupils because they invented great body songs in less than 15 minutes!

STEM Challenge #10: Hibernating bears

Hello!

These short, cold days of winter many animals experience a process called hibernation. For example: squirrels, groundhogs, bats, turtles, snakes or bears.

Previously, they prepare a nest where they "sleep" for a long period of time. Some animals wake during hibernation to eat and relieve themselves, while others sleep through the entire winter.

STEM Challenge #10 engages pupils to:

"Design and build a nest for a hibernating bear".

Materials:

Building time: 40 minutes.

Pupils should consider some criteria and restrictions. For example: nests must have an entrance/exit or bears must be protected from the rain, snow and wind.

Our body songs (3rd A Grade)

Hello everyone!

We have started the new year full of energy!!! Here you can watch our invented body songs:

Happy Winter Holidays!

Make the most of your holidays and see you again in January ;)

We make cell models (5th Grade)

Good morning!

In 5th Grade we are learning about the CELLS.

First, we answered what, where and how cells are.

Then, we observed different cells through a microscope.

After, we classified them into ANIMAL CELLS and PLANT CELLS. We read about their main parts and we decided to build a big model of them.

Pupils worked in groups.

5th A Class

Let's make a lungs model! (4th Grade)

Good morning!

4th Grade pupils are studying the Respiratory System.

Last week, they made a lungs model. They could observe the different movements in breathing in and breathing out:

Watch how the lungs inflate and deflate:

STEAM Challenge #9: Thanksgiving!

Hello everyone!

Today we want to share with you an activity we did some weeks ago.

It was Thanksgiving Day, so our teacher engaged us to thank our friends for something they do that makes us happy.

It is a nice activity with a surprising result that you can repeat at home next Thanksgiving Day or at Christmas! Here you have the steps:

First, you must print and colour this star-shaped picture, as beautiful as you can:

Then, you have to cut the star carefully:

After, in the middle of the picture, you have to write a Thanksgiving message addressed to one friend and cover it with the tips of the star:

Finally, put the star on water and...

Wow! It opens so that your friend can read your message!

Let's build our model of the Respiratory System! But first, let's remember its parts with the following videos:

STEM Challenge #8: Bridges!

Hello, how are you?

3rd Graders are ready to present you their new STEM Challenge:

"Build a strong bridge that crosses a river and allows boats to sail below it".

Materials: straws, popsicle sticks and 50cm of masking tape.

Building time: 30 minutes.

First iteration pictures:

On the second iteration, we are going to study bridges in depth so that we can build stronger bridges.

The Skin (3rd Grade)

Good morning 3rd Grade!

Let's learn about the sense of TOUCH.
