LYRICS:

5 SENSES SONG

I have five senses, I count those

I use eyes, ears, skin, tongue and nose. (REPEAT)

My eyes can see

My ears can hear

My skin can touch, so so much

My tongue can taste

My nose can smell

My five senses work really well!

EYES SIGHT

EARS HEAR

SKIN TOUCH, SO SO MUCH

TONGUE TASTE

NOSE SMELL

My five senses work really well!

LET'S DO SCIENCE! (SESAMESTREET GAMES)

DOES IT SINK OR FLOAT?

1. HYPOTHESIS. What do you think?

2. We TEST and OBSERVE

3. What happens? Is the hypothesis right or wrong?

4. Conclusion or big idea.

GAMES:

DOES IT SINK OR FLOAT?

UNDERWATER SINK OR FLOAT

jueves, 13 de noviembre de 2014

BIG IDEAS:

• Magnets cause a push or pull (a force).

• Magnets pull on (attract) some materials and not others.

• Magnetic forces push or pull even if objects don’t touch the magnet.

• Magnets can push or pull at a distance and through different materials.

• You can do useful things with magnets.

2. Bring closer the poles with the same colours. Secondly, bring closer the different colours.

WHAT HAPPENS?

3. Tape the magnets inside the boxes. Close the boxes, put red adhesive tape at one side of the box, where the red part of the magnet is. Put blue adhesive tape at one side of the box, where the blue part of the magnet is.

4. Put two pencils on one of the boxes. Put the second box on the pencils, matching the colours.

5. Join both boxes with transparent adhesive tape, take off the pencils and press on the box.

MAGNETISM GAMES: MAGNETIC REGATTA

MATERIALS:

· Two 40 cm long rods

· Two magnets

· Two 30cm long threads

· Needles

· Coloured paper

· Scissors

· Six cork stoppers

· Tooth picks

· Adhesive tape

· A big water container

· Water

INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Make two “fishing rods”: get a thread and tie a knot in the rod and tie another knot in the magnet. Use the adhesive tape if it’s necessary.

2. Make two little boats: join three cork stoppers with a toothpick.

3. Put two needles in the central cork stopper. Use adhesive tape to make the sails with coloured paper.

EXTREME CARE IN THE USE OF NEEDLES.

4. Fill the container with water and make the boats float. Use the rod to move the boat.

MAGNETISM GAMES: OBLIGED ROAD

MATERIALS

· A PIECE OF CARD

· SCISSORS

· ADHESIVE TAPE

· FELT TIP PENS

· A CARDBOARD

· TWO RODS

· TWO MAGNETS

· TWO NUTS

· FOUR HARD PLASTIC GLASSES

1. Draw four silhouettes of a car on the card, cut them out and colour.

2. Use the adhesive tape to put a nut between two silhouettes. Do the same with the other nut and silhouettes.

3. Draw two roads on the cardboard, with a starting line at the beginning of the roads and a finishing one at the end.

4. Put both cars at the starting lines.

5. Tape every magnet to every rod.

6. Put the magnets under the cardboard and try to move the cars. Play with your friends and race!

(unit_1) HUMAN LIFE CYCLE

INFANCY

We are babies. We learn to walk* and talk*

CHILDHOOD

We are children until we are 12.

ADOLESCENCE

Our bodies change. We are starting* to become men* and women*

YOUNG ADULTHOOD

We grow more slowly. This is when we are 15 to 25 years old.

ADULTHOOD

Now we are men and women. We don't grow.

OLD AGE

Our bodies are not strong but we know a lot

(unit_1) REPRODUCTION

(unit 1)_ CHANGES IN MATTER AND TYPES OF CHANGES

PHYSICAL CHANGES*

The susbstance changes* but matter does NOT change.

Ex: water freezes*, but it is still water

CHEMICAL CHANGES

New substances are created and matter changes.

Ex: Wood changes into ashes* and gases when it burns.

TYPES OF CHANGES

Irreversible: matter CANNOT RETURN to its original state.

Reversible: matter CAN RETURN to its original state.

*change: canvi

*to change: canviar

*to freeze: congelar

*ash: cendra

(unit 1)_ TYPES OF MATTER

PURE SUBSTANCES cannot be separated into other substances. Examples: iron, salt

MIXED SUBSTANCES are made of two or more substances. Seawater* is a mixture of water and salt

*Sea: mar

Water: aigua

Seawater: aigua de la mar

( UNIT 1)_MASS, VOLUME AND DENSITY

Matter has two general properties:

Mass is the amount* of matter in an object. We can measure* it in kilos.
Volume is the space that an object occupies. We can measure it in litres.

Density is the relationship between mass and volume:

Density=mass/volume

*amount: quantitat

*to measure: mesurar

(unit 1)_DESCRIPTION OF AN OBJECT

To describe an object you have to follow some steps:

1. Firstly, you have to write what it is.

2. Secondly, write the main material it is made of.

3. Finally, write the properties that you can observe or measure.

Here you have the example we did together:

(What is it?)This is a picture.

(Main material)It's made of wood.

(Properties)It isn't transparent, it's opaque. It's flat and rough. It's hard and stiff. It's not magnetic and it's insulator.

It's a square, it's 20 cm long and 20 cm wide. It weighs 22 g and it's colourful!
