BODY SYSTEMS III: REPRODUCTION - CHECK YOUR KNOWLEDGE!

In this THIRD and final post we are revising the reproductive body systems, male and female, as they are the ones involved in the reproduction vital function.

Good luck!

BODY SYSTEMS II: INTERACTION - CHECK YOUR KNOWLEDGE!

  Keep on checking what you know about the different body systems with these interactive worksheets. Remeber: if you have difficulties when doing them it means that you have to study a little bit more, so take your book and your notebook, revise the contents and try again. 

In this SECOND post we have the body systems that take part in the vital function of interaction, as well as the senses. 

Good luck!

THE HUMAN REPRODUCTION

 In this video we can get an idea of how human reproduction works.

SEXUAL REPRODUCTION

Reproduction (or procreation or breeding) is the biological process by which new individual organisms – "offspring" – are produced from their "parents". 

By asexual reproduction, an organism creates a genetically similar or identical copy of itself without the involvement of another organisim.

Sexual reproduction typically requires the sexual interaction of two specialized organisms. This produces offspring organisms whose genetic characteristics are derived from those of the two parental organisms.

In the follwing video we are going to learn about sexual reproduction.

We watched this video last school year to learn about different body systems. Watch it again to help you remember!

LIVE WORKSHEET ABOUT PREHISTORY

 After revising everything we have learnt in the classroom, you can check your knowledge about Prehistory by doing this interactive worksheet. We hope you get a 10 out of 10. Good luck!!!

PREHISTORY INTERACTIVE WORKSHEET

PREHISTORY EXPLAINED IN SPANISH - EXTENDED

In this fabulous video you have a very good explanation of the different ages in Prehistory. There is lots of information and things we haven't studied in our lessons, so it's really interesting. Enjoy it!!!

FROM PREHISTORY TO HISTORY

In this video we are going to have a quick look about the different periods of History. As it is in Spanish you will understand everything, so there's no excuse!!!! Enjoy it.

AD and BC explained

Watch this video to learn why we put these letters next to year numbers, what they mean and what other letters can be used to say the same. It's quite interesting! Isn't it?

TELLING THE TIME

Before we start studying about the past it is important that we know how we measure time. 

Today, we are revising how to tell the time in English. Watch this video and ask your teacher any questions or doubts you have about it!

HEALTHY AND UNHEALTHY HABITS

 Watch this video and check how many healthy habits you follow. We hope all of them but, if that is not the case, you can always start today!!

FOOD AND NUTRIENTS

What is food? What are nutrients? Are they the same thing? Do all foods have the same nutrients?  

We already watched these videos last school year but they are so interesting and useful that you have them here again to answer the previous questions and as a reminder of good healthy eating habits!!

STAYING HEALTHY

Last year we studied some habits that can help us to stay healthy. This video will help you to remember some of them.

Do you know some more? Write them down and we will comment them in class.

SUMMER REVISION

Hi everyone! I hope you are enjoying your holidays BUT... just in case you feel like revising Science playing the quizzes we practised during the school year, I put them all here so it's easier for you to find them.

You won't need to sign in or send the answers to your teacher this time. Just enjoy!

Your age on other worlds

Have fun doing this WORDSEARCH about Space.

And now... HOW OLD ARE YOU? Well, the answer could be not the same if you were living on a different planet. So if you have ever been curious about how long A YEAR takes in each planet (the time it takes a planet to do a revolution around the Sun), click on the next link, read and discover fun facts! 

How Long is a Year on Other Planets?

But if you really want to know YOUR AGE ON OTHER WORLDS... just click on the link, enter your birth date and click on calculate. You will see your age in days and years for each planet, as well as your next birthday on it. 

It's amazing, isn't it?

CARDINAL POINTS

Read and listen to page 15 to remember about the four cardinal points.

Now, show us you master them by doing this interactive worksheet:

And finally, it's time to enjoy these songs as we revise about the Moon and the planets in the Solar system. Have fun!

HOW THE EARTH MOVES

Do you remember the two movements of the Earth? Today you have the opportunity to learn once for all the difference between rotation and revolution and what each movement causes. 

Now, try these interactive worksheets and show us all you have learnt!!

ROTATION AND REVOLUTION

ROTATION AND REVOLUTION - LISTENING

MONTHS AND SEASONS   When you place the months in the corresponding seasons, you have to start by the month the season begins and the others in cronological order. (Para que la actividad salga correcta, al colocar los meses en su estación correspondiente tenéis que comenzar por el mes en que empieza cada estación. Por ejemplo, si Verano comienza en...  ese es el primero, y los otros dos en orden).

NUTRIENTS VERSUS FOOD GROUPS

Read this if you want to clarify the difference between nutrients and food groups.

Essential nutrients are compounds that the body can’t make or can’t make in sufficient quantity. These nutrients must come from food, and they’re vital for disease prevention, growth, and good health. There ares six groups of essential nutrients: protein, carbohydrates, fats, vitamins, minerals and water. (Sometimes we say 5 groups plus water).

We put food that have the same main nutrients together, making food groups. We are going to see five basic groups, that contain lots of different foods: Carbohydrates and fibre, Fruit and vegetables, Proteins and iron, Dairy products and Fats. 

We can represent them in different ways (food pyramid, food plate) to show how many of each we should eat. You can find more food groups if the classification is more precise.

A TRIP TO THE SUPERMARKET - PAGE 20

This week we are going to do a quick revision about what a healthy diet is and how important it is to give our body all the nutrients we need in the right amount. We'll start with this simple listening and I would like you to answer question two as a comment below. 

You can also write, if you remember them, the different types of nutrients we studied in the school. How many can you name? 

SOME OPTICAL ILLUSIONS

I know, it’s not exactly an experiment, but illusions are still cool.
Illusions are images that use your EYES to confuse your BRAIN.

Take a look at this grid:

Did you notice the small grayish dots between the black boxes. They are not part of the drawing – they were put there by your brain! Scientists call this “visual vibration.” Basically it means that when you see patterns of black and white, your eye sometimes confuses the two and blends them into patterns of gray that you see here. You are seeing something that is not really there!

Whoa! Is that image spinning? Nope, not even a little bit. In fact, if you look away, it will seem to stop spinning. It’s all in your brain…. The repeated patterns and lines trick your brain into thinking that there is movement as it tries to make sense of the image. Pretty cool, huh?

This elephant is missing a leg…or is it? The artist confuses his
viewer by changing they way our brain is used to seeing things.
It seems the more you look at the elephant, the more confusing it gets.

Want to see the gears move?
Look at the dot and then move your head towards the screen and away from it.

This uses visual vibrations to create a cool effect. Try moving your head close to, and then away from the screen. The fuzzy dots appear to move.

This simple line drawing is titled, “Mother, Father, and daughter” (Fisher, 1968) because it contains the faces of all three people in the title.How many faces can you find?

Look at the dots in the center. Which one is bigger? Like many similar illusions, the dots are the same size…really! It can be hard to tell because your eye uses the other dots to make a comparison.

Check out the spiral…except it is not a spiral, just circles.
Don’t believe me? Use your finger to follow the fake spiral.
The tilt of the boxes fools your brain into believing it is a spiral.

Hey, this is weird. Click on the image to make it bigger. It looks as though it’s moving, but it’s not. The shapes confuse the eye (really the brain) into believing that they are moving.
