Biomes project - 6th B

Hello, how are you?

Have you ever wondered which animals live in the savanna? How's the weather in the North Pole? Where is the largest tropical rainforest on Earth? What will happen to coral reefs in 50 years time? Which % of the Earth is covered by water? Who is on top of the food chain in a forest

Children of 6th have studied some BIOMES of the world (or ecosystems) and they have made a project in small groups. Here you can see their Power Points, read by them. We hope you enjoy them!

Plants (5th Grade)

Hello boys and girls!

We have just finished Unit 2, which is about plants. And we have learnt a lot, haven't we???

Do you remember when we planted white beans? At first, we had some problems with the soil and the lack of sunlight (it was always foggy!), but finally we could grow our plants succesfully!






Some days later....


Sunlight is essential for the photosynthesis process.




We observed carefully our plant, using magnifying glasses in order to watch them better.







We also made some experiments. For example, we put one plant in a cupboard, so that it couldn't get any sunlight. We found out that it grew but it was weaker and yellow - it lacked chlorophyll.



We also wanted to learn more about the parts of a flower. So, we observed them through the microscope:



Here, we can see the stigma and the ovary with some ovules inside. They are female parts of the plant.

This is the anther, which carries the pollen. It is a male part of the plant.

Today in class, we discovered that the Earth can be seen in real time from the International Space Station, and it was great!

Here you have the link to continue viewing it from your homes, and you can also show it to your family, I'm sure they'll like it!

Remember: when you see the screen black, it means that the Station is on the night side of the Earth.
