Natural Science - Experiments!


NATURAL SCIENCE 

Experiments



In Tuesday's class we did - well, I did - some experiments related to matter and forces.

Some of you texted me after because you wanted to know how to do them.

There are HUNDREDS of experiments really cool to do at home. 
I've chosen only 5. 

I've looked for some info so you can do them at home. 

BE CAREFUL!

and do it under adult supervision.

This blog is FULL of links ;) 

Color density tower

Densidad de los líquidos: líquidos en varias capas y colores

You can do it with different liquids that you have at home (soap, honey, milk, water, oil, alcohol...)
but there is another way to do it...

With SUGAR!

Iron Man Science

This is exactly what I did the other day with my jar. 

You need iron powder/filings, you can buy it in an ironmongery, for example.


Magnet toys

There are many toys that actually use magnets. 
Maybe the most famous one is Geomag

You can build your own tiny games with magnets.


Lava lamps
This experiment is really simple but pretty cool!

You'll need a jar or bottle, water/vinegar, food colouring, oil...
and the 'magic' ingredient: baking soda.



Have a great weekend! :D

#COroN-ARTE: Agamographs

#COroN-ARTE

           AGAMOGRAPHS         




This week we're going to do an   AGAMOGRAPHS  

An   AGAMOGRAPHS  is a series of images that change at different angles.  When you view the finished agamograph, you’ll see one complete image from one point of view, and the other one from the opposite angle.

This work is named after the artist Yaacov Agam.


So, who is Yaacov?

The interior of the Yaacov Agam Museum of Art (Photo by Shooka Cohen)Yaacov Agam Park West Gallery
Yaacov Agam is an Israeli artist that was born in 1928,  he is 92 years old!!!! 

There is a museum dedicated to his art and there is an award created specially for him!


What are we going to do?

We are going to do an  AGAMOGRAPH  choosing the design that you like the most. It can be anything! 


Option 1 - Build your own!

1st. Design, draw and colour!

You're going to need 2 pieces of paper (I divided them in 2).


Use the ruler to divide them into rectangles and number them in the correct order.


Draw and colour your designs!
Today is 5th June: World Environment Day!

2nd. Cut each strip! 

Yes! Cut them carefully!




3rd. Glue the strips - in order - in the other piece of paper. 

For example: 1A-1B-2A-2B-3A-4A...

4th. Fold in an accordion style, front and back.

 



YOU GOT IT!!!

Option 2 - Using a template!

The steps are mostly the same but you can use a template.

You'll need a printer 😣
(If you don't have one, like your teacher, you can do option 1)

I've found this one for free



There are plenty of designs on the internet to inspire you. 

I believe it's always better to do your own :)


Hi there!

I'd love to see your creations! You can send me a pic of your drawing through #Teams or to my email. And if you and your parents agree, I can add it to our Pinterest

PLEASE! Please!!!!! 
Text me (Chat in Teams) if you want to add it to Pinterest. 

Have you visited already the BEST free art gallery in the world? 



PENCILS UP!

Lesson 23. Natural science. Unit 6: Machines

LESSON 23

 NATURAL SCIENCE 

MACHINES



Hello matter!  

This is the end...  Unit 6: Machines


HOMEWORK

You could do a new front-cover if you want. It's not necessary!

The only theory you should copy in your notebook about this topic is the different types of simple machines and what is a lever, a pulley and an incline plane (1 sentence each!).


Here is the document, with all you need to know about machines :)



Friendly reminder! You have the book pages in #Teams ("Archivos" - "Natural Science" - "Unit 6: Machines")

EXTRA HOMEWORK


Project 1: Build your own simple machine!

1st. Choose your simple machine: a lever, a pulley or an inclined plane. 

2nd. Build it! You can make it really simple or more complex, it's up to you! 

3rd. Add an image/video of your simple machine to  #Teams



OPTIONAL

This is completely optional.

Project 2: Tell us about your fav inventor/invention!

It can be about an invention or an inventor, 
whatever you prefer. 


If it's about an invention, tell us: what is it, what is it used for, date of invention, who invented it, why did you choose it, ... 

If it's about an inventor, tell us: when and where was she/he born, a little bit about his/her life, inventions, quotes, ...

In any case, you can do a presentation (or not), show us pictures (or not)...

IT MUST BE IN ENGLISH!

And you'll do it in a video call with the teacher and other classmates.
Next Tuesday!

Write the teacher in Teams so she knows you want to do it ;)


Your Science teacher



Pn: in this video you can see how to build different types of machines!
