Liquids and densities (5th B Grade)

Hello everyone!

How are you???

Today we have to congratulate five pupils from 5th B Grade, for having done an experiment at home and brought them in class in order to explain and show it to us.

They poured different liquids into a container and observed that they don't mix because they have different densities.

Our scientific students are: ARIADNA, NICU, ROBERT, ORIOL and MIREIA.

Great job children, thank you very much!!!

Liquids and densities (5th Grade)

Hello everyone!

In 5th grade we are studying MATTER and its properties (mass, volume and density).

Today, we have done one experiment to notice that:

• Different liquids have different densities.
• Liquids with different densities don't mix. So, you can pile them creating a beautiful effect.

We used:

HONEY, KETCHUP, LIQUID SOAP, WATER, OIL and ALCOHOL (5th B)

HONEY, LIQUID SOAP, MILK, DISH WASHER, WATER, OIL and ALCOHOL (5th A)

Parts of a flower (3rd Grade)

Hello!

Third Grade pupils are studying the parts of a flower, and LILIUMS are perfect flowers to do that, because their parts are clearly visible. We strongly recommend you to get some and observe them, using a magnifying glass or, if possible, a microscope. Then, all the parts can be drawn.

LILIUMS:

 STAMENS AND PISTIL:

PETALS, STAMENS AND PISTIL:

 OVARY, OVULES AND STIGMA:

 STAMEN: ANTHER AND POLLEN:

Simple machines (6th Grade)

Good morning!

In 6th Grade we are studying the Simple Machines. Here you can watch a video of three of them:

LEVERS - PULLEYS - RAMPS (or inclined planes)

Reproduction of flowers (3rd Grade)

Hello 3rd Grade!

This is the video seen in class today:

Our Newton Discs (4th Grade)

Hello everyone!

We have to congratulate the following 4th Grade pupils because they have created a Newton Disc at home. They are Ainara, Aina, Hajar, Hiba and Imad.

There are different version of the same experiment:

A part from creating a beautiful effect, we can prove that the rotating disc (coloured in yellow, orange, red, green, blue, indigo and violet) appears as white.

The Urinary System (5th Grade)

Good morning 5th Grade!

Let's watch how the urinary system works:

Sir Isaac Newton
