What is chlorophyll? (3rd grade)
Chorophyll is a green substance that traps the sunlight.
So, chlorophyll makes the leaves green.
You can do a simple experiment to see it (with adult supervision):
1. Put a leaf in a jar with some alcohol:
2. Wait for a while and see what happens:
3. Wait some more time (hours), remove the leaf and observe its colour:
Now we can see what colour the leaf would be without chlorophyll.
We grow white beans (3rd B)
Hello, children of 3rd B!
The photos from your white beans!!!

***Sorry! I can't edit some picture to see them well!***
We grow white beans (3rd A)
Hi children!
What a veggie month!!! A part from collecting fruit in our vegetable garden, we have also planted some white beans in the science class, see:

What is Photosynthesis? (3rd grade)
"Photosynthesis"
What a long word! What does it mean?
Plants make their own food. This process is called Photosynthesis.
Pupils of 3rd grade: here there are two videos which explain the Photosynthesis. We are going to watch and discuss them in class, but you can watch them at home before next week, so that you are going to be more prepared:

The colours of light (4th grade)
Hello boys and girls!
As we all well know, Sir Isaac Newton discovered that white light is made up of many colours.
But we wanted to discover it the same way he did: using a prism and natural light.
So, this is what we did last day in class, have a look! It's easy and very beatiful, you can try it at home!

Newton's Disk (4th Grade)
Hello children of 4th grade!
This week, in class, we have "met" Sir Isaac Newton, one of the most important scientists in history.
Why has he appeared in our lessons? Because our topic for these days is LIGHT, and he made a huge discovery! He discovered that WHITE LIGHT is made up of many colours:

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

This was STATIC ELECTRICITY.
