Among all the animals in the kingdom of life, could you guess which are our students Xavi, Tiago and Marcos referring to?

Our 4th ESO students were keen enough to make some research about the formidable inventions and the people behind them from the Industrial Revolution on. Here's some of the impressions they got after it!

- Jethro Tull

- Gregor Mendel

- Alfred Nobel

- Albert Einstein

SOCIAL STUDIES: The Evolution of Economics

Feudalism, mercantilism, capitalism...How has economics developed throughout history? All f it explained from the insight of our 3rd year students. Enjoy!

Social Studies: The World as 100 People

If we stick to the way the world is configured, this is how things would be like if we apply it to 100 people. Our 2nd year students have made a thorough abstraction effort in order to explain us how our lives would be if we were a little portion of inhabitants in the planet. Really interesting and somehow scary!

HISTORY: Heraldry

What is a coat of arms like? Why were they created the way they were? Our 2nd year students tell us how!

THE UNIVERSE

Our 1st ESO students talk about our solar system!

PHYSICAL EDUCATION: LET'S MOVE!

This poster can be used in any physical education class to identify the body movements in english.

Physical Education: Sport and exercise actions

LEARNING SCIENTIFIC VOCABULARY : 2n ESO

This is the link of the  presentation we used to work about this subject .... Enjoy!!!!!

                            International System of Units vs Anglosaxon System

FOODtionary

In this occasion, our students (2nd ESO A and S and 3rd ESO A) have learnt tons of new vocabulary about food! 

After classifying them into different categories (dairy products, meat, fish and so on), they have created posters with their drawings and they have translated all the words into Catalan, in order to reinforce both languages at the same time. Now, the posters are decorating our corridors, so that the other students can learn these words too.

Now, they won't be hungry  if they go to an English-speaking country! Good job!

LEARNING SCIENTIFIC VOCABULARY 2n ESO

 


We have been working with a PHYSICS ALPHABET .

Our students have learned new words related with science. Moreover, we have decorated the corridor of our lab.           Here you have a sample of the results!!!!!

GETTING ON WITH ENGLISH IN THE LAB 2n ESO

Here you have a video of convection!! What a pity! Our students didn´t achieve their goal!! But anyway,  thank you guys!!!!!

GETTING ON WITH ENGLISH IN THE LAB 2nESO

Let´s see two students talking about Cromatography!!!!

CONVECTION                                                   

MATERIAL

·            Two glasses

·             Blue  colorant

·             A piece of cardboard

PROCESS

1. Fill up two glasses , one with cold water and one with hot water.

2. Add a few drops of colorant to cold water

3. Cover the glass  of hot water with a cardboard, and being careful of not spilling it,

place it face down over  of the glass  of cold water.

4. Remove  the cardboard and watch what happens.

 5. Repeat the same operation but placing the hot water  glass  underneath and the cold water  glass above

               A)   Is there a difference between the two cases? Describe it.

        B) Make a small report with the results of your observations

Here is a sample of the results of this experience

GETTING ON WITH ENGLISH IN THE LAB 2n ESO

CONSTRUCTION OF A THERMOMETER                     

OBJECTIVES:

• Check the phenomena of expansion and contraction of materials.

• Construct a thermometer by applying  them.

MATERIAL:

• Plastic bottles  of  different sizes.

• Water.

• A  Drinking straw.

• Colourant.

• play dough

PROCESS:

A.   Water Thermometer

1. Pour some water in the small bottle . When i is half full, add a few drops of colourant  and continue filling it with water to the edge.

2. With the play dough  model a tape of 1.5 cm  width and wrap around the straw as follows:

3. Place the straw inside the bottle and use the play dough  to seal it. It is important not to squash  the straw so as not to block the water flow.

 At the same make sure there is no air in the bottle, so do not leave any  slits.

WE HAVE ALREADY MANUFACTURED OUR THERMOMETER!

 Now let's check how it works

4. Place the thermometer inside a large bottle as shown in the drawing,

Add hot water and watch what happens. If we have done well, the liquid should go up

5. Now remove the thermometer from the bottle  with hot water and place it in

cold water

QUESTIONS:

1.            Why does the water raise by the straw on the water thermometer?

2.            What is your opinion about the fact that the majority of thermometers are made of alcohol and not water?
