Learning through games

Actually we are studying the unit called "Five Living Things Kingdoms" . We do some individual and group exercises and we also play some funny games to improve our knowledge about this subject.

It is so interesting because it could seem you are not studying but in fact you are learning a lot.

Would you like to play with us? Just join us!!

EGU-2012

El proper mes d'abril en Miquel Mas, professor de Ciències de l'Institut, assistirà com a representant de l'equip de professorat de l'àmbit científic-lingüístic (Scienglish) a la trobada general de geocientífics d'Europa EGU, on presentarà el treball competencial que realitzarem amb l'alumnat de primer d'ESO sobre el tema de l'aigua, amb el títol "Hydroroute 55". 

Aquest treball s'elabora gràcies a la subvenció atorgada per l'Ajuntament de Terrassa, en el concurs de Projectes educatius de Centres 2011-12 i en el marc del Projecte EDU2010-15783, atorgat pel MICINN al projecte “Discurso Académico en lengua extranjera: Aprendizaje y Evaluación de Contenidos Científicos en el Aula Multilingüe (DALE-APECS)” de la Facultat d'Educació de la Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona (UAB) i coordinat per la Dra. Cristina Escobar Urmeneta.

La Trobada tindrà lloc a Viena (Austria) del 22 al 27 d'abril de 2012. Per més informació entreu a l'enllaç EGU

Felicitats a tot l'equip de professorat i en especial al Miquel!!

Who is who?

If you know some characteristics of Living Things and the way to ask questions about them, then YOU CAN play with us GUESSING who is who?

For example: It has eukaryotic cells, two legs, a tail and a beak; it is heterotroph and multicellular; it belongs to the animal kingdom.

What living thing is it? Send your answer here!!

Lab experiment: molds garden

Molds are yuck, right? But they are also USEFUL.

We observed some examples of molds through the magnifying glass and here you are our drawings!!

Material we need	We observe...
Tomato	Jelly
Bread	We draw
We draw	We clean everything

Col·laborem amb la UAB

L'Institut col·labora amb la Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona  en el Projecte de Recerca del Ministeri d'Educació MICINN (R+D+i EDU2010-15783 project).: “Discurso Académico en lengua extranjera: Aprendizaje y Evaluación de Contenidos Científicos en el Aula Multilingüe (DALE-APECS)”. El    Projecte és coordinat per la Dra. Cristina Escobar Urmeneta.

Com a docents aportem la nostra experiència en l'àmbit científic-lingüístic SCIENGLISH, que estem portant a terme amb el nostre alumnat.

L'objectiu és analitzar i avaluar els resultats obtinguts en l'aplicació de les estratègies AICLE  a l'aula, elaborar propostes educatives innovadores transferibles a d'altres centres, i alhora millorar la nostra tasca docent.

We are a cell

Animal, plant or bacteria???

We prepared a presentation about a Cell where each one of us was a part of it.

 Here you have one of them

A lab experiment: LET’S ANALIZE YEAST!

We are going to find out what conditions are best for the growth of yeast. We need 6 test- tubes, some yeast, some sugar, some water and some balloons. We put a small piece of dried yeast into each tube, we shake it to mix the content and we place a deflated balloon over the top of the tube. In one tube we put only yeast and in the others we add sugar and water (cold, warm or boiling) 

Yeast

Sugar

and we find out this

Do you know why some of the balloons blow up and others don't?

Just send us an e-mail and explain the reasons!!!!

A mind map

Do you know what a mind map is?

We are learning how to elaborate a mind map as a study strategy. It makes us think and understand all we learn in class.
It is so easy and helpful. You just think on a relationship between all the elements you know and..... draw a mind map.
For example: we start with LIVING THINGS and we add "they have three characteristic: Nutrition, Reproduction and Interactoon with the environment". Then we follow with all we know about nutrition and so on.
Here you are some examples.

It's so interesting!

Our students elaborated a cell in 3D working in teams. Have a look at their results.
Aren't they interesting? Tell us your opinion!!
