THE SKELETON

Try to learn the name of the most important bones of our body.

Click here to play the skeleton game.

Click here to see how many bones you remember.

THE HEARING

One of the most important senses is the hearing. We can listen to someone talking English or listen to a song.

Let´s sing this song to learn how we hear:

THE SIGHT

We are learning the parts of the eye and how we can see objects.

 

Use your brain!!!!

LEARN INTERESTING FACTS ABOUT THE BRAIN!!!!




NOW TEST YOUR BRAIN AND HAVE FUN.

The nervious sytem

Your brain works as a personal computer: It controls everything. How do yo remember your clasmate´s name? How do you breath in and out? Your brain is in charge of everything that happens in your body.

Ecosystems

Let´s watch this video to understand what is an ecosystem. Then, answer these questions:

- What do all living things have in common?
- What is an ecoystem?
-  Can you name non-living things from an ecosystem?
- Could you find a cactus in the ocean? Why not?
- What is a community in an ecosystem?
- How can we protect ecosystems?

Now, let´s learn more about ecosystems.

SELF-EVALUATION

 MY SELF –EVALUATION

Use the lines below to help you evaluate your answers to the following questions. Then, put a tick under the character that most closely resembles you and your level of understanding for each category.

What is my understanding of the following?	GOOD	SO, SO	NOT SO GOOD
1.    Identify the different parts of an animal and plant cell.
2.    Describe briefly the internal structure of a cell.
3.    Describe the three vital functions.
4.    Identify the main characteristics of living things: cells, tissues, organs and systems.
5.    Classify living things into different kingdoms.
6.    Know the main characteristics of each kingdom.
7.    Apply work and study strategies which allow you for an effective learning process.

Living and non living things posters.

Last Friday we were decorating our classroom with the poster we had made the previous week.

It was great to review the lesson by doing an Art and Craft project. We were using and recycling old magazines.

 IT WAS FUN!!!

 IT WAS GREAT!!!

 WE´VE LEARNT !!!

Para las familias: acceso al libro en formato digital

Estimadas familias:

Como ya os comenté en la reunión de padres, este año vuestros hijos e hijas tienen acceso al libro en formato digital.

Muchas gracias!!!!

Cells, tissues, organs and systems

Today we have focussed on cells, tissues, organs and systems. We have studied these areas, exploring the differences between types of cells, and seeing how they join together to form tissues, organs and systems. We have learnt about their functions and how all living things are made up of units which interact with each other.

In order to understand all these new concepts, let´s see this video:

CELL STRUCTURE.

We´ve been studying the cell structure.

              

Definition: A cell is the smallest living unit that make up a living thing.

Let´s watch a video.

LIVING THINGS.

Living things.

In this unit you will review and extend your knowledge of the differences between living and non-living things based on the three vital functions: nutrition, interaction and reproduction.

You will begin to study cell structure. It is very important that you understand that a cell is a living thing because it performs the three vital functions. You will also learn about unicellular and multicellular organisms.

You will also investigate and learn about classifying into the five kingdoms. You should enjoy looking for the common characteristics and identifying differences between living things. You should also focus on how living things perform the three vital functions.

In this unit you will be introduced to the scientific method. You will establish hypotheses and predict results, learning that hypotheses do not need to be correct.
