Electricity (6th Grade)

Good morning!

Children of 6th grade are experimenting with electricity.

First, we learnt that all objects have electrical charges. There are positive electrical charges and negative electrical charges.  Normally, objects have the same number of positive and negative electrical charges: they are electrically neutral.

But, we found out that negative charges can pass from one object to another. For example, by rubbing a balloon to a cloth or to our hair.

Now the balloon is negatively charged:
 

 The same charges repel:

This was STATIC ELECTRICITY.

Later, we built an ELECTRICAL CIRCUIT, which carries electrical current. We used:

1. A battery

2. Wires

3. A light bulb

4. A switch

April: we grow potatoes and we pick up... (3rd grade)

Hello friends!

We are at the beginning of April, so it's time to start growing potatoes in our vegetable garden! 

And also, we have picked some ONIONS, GARLIC and LEEK!

Broad beans need some more time...

The invertebrates and the vertebrates songs (3rd grade)

Hi children!

Welcome back to school after the Easter holidays! Let's start with our science lessons again and a good way to begin with is by listening to this song. It is about the invertebrates; listen and try to guess them. I hope that you like it, good luck!

If you liked it, now try this other. It is about the vertebrates!

Frog Life Cycle (4th grade)

Metamorphosis in insects (3rd and 5th grades)

LADYBUG METAMORPHOSIS

BEE METAMORPHOSIS

LIFE CYCLE OF A LADY BEETLE

Insects (3rd grade)

Good morning!

In 3rd grade, we are learning about insects. A good way to achieve that consists on catching some insects, observing them, drawing them and recognizing their characteristics. So, this is what we did yesterday!

Don't worry, after our work, we set them free again!

Magnets (6th grade)

Hello children!

In 6th grade, we are experimenting with magnets. We had some entertaining lessons, in which we could explore the interesting world of magnetism.

We saw, drew and used magnets of different shapes:

We recognised the two different magnetic poles every magnet has, North and South, and we realised that if we put two magnets together, they can ATTRACT or REPEL. Opposite poles attract; the same poles repel.

ATTRACT:

REPEL:

We could also see the magnetic field lines after spreading out some iron fillings onto a paper, which was laid on a bar magnet.

Also, we learnt what temporary magnets are:

Butterfly life cycle (4th grade)

Hello boys and girls!

These days we are talking a lot about life cycles. As you know, the butterfly life cycle is very interesting.

Now, let's watch this beatiful video from National Geographic:

Worms (5th grade)

Hi, children!

Last day in class, when we were talking about worms you asked many questions, wishing to know more things abou these invertebrate animals. Well, let's start watching this interesting video, and then, we talk about it:

Congratulations! (4th B grade)

Hello, children and families!

Today, we have picked our first cabbage from our vegetable garden! And Daniel, from 4th B, has won it after participating in a raffle . We hope that you have a great dinner today!

CONGRATULATIONS!

Invertebrates (3rd and 5th grades)

Let's learn about invertebrates!
