Social Science: water cycle

Good morning, my friends!

I hope you are OK. What about some Social Science? :)

Today I have four things I want to tell you: 

1. I think I forgot to tell you that the process of condensation, precipitation, evaporation....is called water cycle. It is a natural process that never stops: the rain that falls from the clouds was water vapour that went up in the sky thanks to warm air (that long process I drew on the blackboard a few times). It is a natural process, but you can make your own water cycle at home in a very easy way. It is similar to the experiment I shared a few days ago, but I think this can help us understand in an easier way how this process happens. 

Click on the link below and find activity number 20 (Create your own miniature water cycle). 

EXPERIMENT

If you make it, I'd love to see some photographs ;) (ramoncuevasramirez@gmail.com).

2. There is a nice song that explains the water cycle. I know you love my songs, so have a look at the next video :)

3.  There is another thing. Let's observe the weather during a week. You are going to draw and write about it in your notebook. Everyday, you have to draw a weather symbol (sun, cloud, rain, wind, fog...) and write about it (It is raining today, It is 20ºC, It is cloudy, It is partly cloudy). When you have watched seven days, you can take a photograph and send it to me. 

Yours is going to look better, but it should be something like this:

Yes, I know: I should stop going to those Art classes :)

4. This is the last activity (you don't have to do everything today. Calm down!). It is a combination of Social Science and Art. I want you to find on the internet ten famous paintings where we can find some weather factors (sun, storms, fog, etc.). When you find them, you can write them down in your notebook. 

This is an example: 

Weather in Art

Figures in a storm (W. Turner).

Take care and see you soon.

Se me olvidaba. ¡Qué cabeza! Os quería dejar una lista de cosas que tenéis que hacer, aprender a hacer o hacer cada vez mejor. 

1. Leer un reloj análogico.

2. Ataros los cordones de los zapatos fuertemente.

3. Hacer la cama como un profesional.

4. Preparar un sandwich a vuestros padres. Sandwich frío.

5. Hacer una pajarita de papel (aunque algunos saben hacer hasta un tanque).

6. Pelar una mandarina sin ayuda.

7. Aprender el nombre de los doce dioses del Olimpo griego (Zeus, Poseidón, Deméter, Plutón, Hades, Hera :), Afrodita, Artemisa, Apolo, Atenea, Hefesto y Hermes). Ya sabéis que este año nuestro Día del Libro está centrado en la Grecia Clásica (pues por eso). 

8. Recordar el nombre de las siete naves que intentaron dar la vuelta al mundo hace 500 años ya (Victoria...). 

Lo comprobaremos a la vuelta ;)
