Experiment time! - Sugar in soft drinks -

Hello!

We are learning about healthy eating and healthy habits and this week we did an experiment to comfirm that soft drinks, like cola or lemonade, are unhelathy for us. Do you want to know how we did it? Here we go!

First, we watched a video to introduce the topic and to dicuss why should we avoid soft drinks. This is the video:

Second, we prepared our experiment. To do this, we made six groups of four people and we shared the roles in the gruop (secretary, coordinator, controlling and speaker). Once we had the goups, we watched other video to know how to do the experiment.

These were the materials we needed:

• 3 plastic cups.
• Cola, lemonade and water.
• Labels and markers.
• Dirty coins.
• Registration worksheet.

The fist step to do an experiment is to make a hypothesis. So, we asked our selves: what is going to happen to the coins inside the different drinks?

Then, we put the drinks in the plastic cups and the coins into the different drinks: cola, lemonade and water.

 

And we waited for two days...

When we picked up the coins from the drinks, the result was amazing... the coins inside the cola and the lemonade were brilliant, but not the coin into the water!

So, our conclusion was clear: Soft drinks are really unhealthy for us! But not to clean coins... ;)

Moreover, all our hypothesis, notes and conclusions were registered in a registration worksheet like this:

Thanks and... See you soon!

Healthy eating!

Hi!

We are learning about healthy eating and habits. Do you want to know which activities have we done? Here we go!

To learn about the different food groups and nutrients we listened to this funny song and we also watched the videos of this YouTube channel. They're great!

We also played this interactive activity to classify the food according to the different food groups. Try it!

Finally, we prepared these posters about the food groups and nutrients.

 

It's up to you! Eat healthy!

Thanks and... See you soon!

What a body! - Projects -

After all this work and activities, we were prepared to do our projects about the body systems. First, we formed groups of six and each group became expert in one of the body systems. We chose the systems related to the life process of the nutrition, so our projects were about: digestive, excretory, circulatory and respiratory systems.

To do the posters we used this material:

• Colour A3 cardboards.
• Colour A4 papersheets.
• Pictures of the four body systems.
• Information.
• Crayons, scissors and glue.

This was the result:

  

 

After doing the posters, each goup did an oral presentation for the rest of the class. We learnt a lot!

Thanks and... See you soon!

What a body! - Labelling -

Hello!

Other activity we did about the body systems was labelling the different parts. First we chose the parts for each system, then we labeled the names and finally we explined the function of each part.

These are the digestive, excretory and respiratory systems we did:

  

Thanks and... See you soon!

What a body! - Interactive activities -

Hello!

We continue learning about our bodies and body systems and we have tried some interesting on-line activities to practise because playing is the best way to learn new things.

Here you have some of these games:

• The body runner with activities about the lungs, the heart and the digestive system.
• Circulatory system quiz. How many questions can you answer right?
• A matching game about different parts and organs of the body.
• Label the parts of the body. Do it quickly!
• Complete the sentences about the body systems and parts.
• Our skeleton and bones. Label the names!

We hope you enjoy these activities and you learn a lot!

Thanks and... See you soon!

What a body! - Videos -

We are learning about the human body and the body systems. To work and learn a lot of things about the parts and the fuctions of our body we have watched some videos.

Here you have some interesting videos about the body systems:

• Nutrition: digestive, excretory, circulatory and respiratory systems.
• Interaction: locomotor and nervous systems.
• Reproduction: male and female reproductive systems.

We hope you enjoy them as much as us!

Thanks and... See you soon!
