Natural Science 20th April 2020

Good morning, everyone!

How was your weekend? Mine was very nice: I went to the supermarket, I read, I watched a film, I cooked, I cleaned the windows and then it rained... 

I have heard that in a few days you will be able to go to the street and have a walk. Those are very good news! You desserve it and I know you are going to be very responsible about it.

Antes de empezar nuestra "clase de hoy", me dicen por el pinganillo que los blogs de los profesores de Música, Religión y E. Física están repletos de actividades nuevas cada día...¡no os los perdáis!

And now, a bit of Natural Science. 

After studying the mammals and the birds, we have to talk about reptiles. You already know a lot of things about these amazing animals. In the photo below you can see the information I found on PB page 42 . 

The next video offers a very good summary of reptiles (se entiende muy bien, y mucho mejor si activas la opción de subtítulos). Watch it. I'm sure you will learn some new things about how they reproduce, what they eat, their body coverings...). 

After reading the information and watching the video, try to do activities 2 & 3 (PB page 42). In case you don't have the book, here you can see them.

2. How do reptiles treat their offspring (crías) differently than mammals and birds?

3. Find out about the Galapagos tortoise. How big is it? How long can it live for?

Next, go to the link below and choose one reptile, click, read and write some information about it in your notebook: what they eat, size, where they live and some interesting facts. There are many reptiles on that site; choose your favourite if you want to. 

REPTILES

This is just the beginning of the unit. We will do many more activities when we have studied the different animal groups. 

Have a nice Monday.

See you tomorrow.

¡Otra cosa! Casi se me olvida...

Vuestros monitores del albergue "Los Batanes" (Juan Carlos y Marta) y también los del año pasado (Nabil y Mariola) han preparado una serie de actividades para que podáis recordar mucho de lo aprendido en estas dos maravillosas experiencias que tuvimos la suerte de compartir. Os iré proponiendo algunas de vez en cuando. 

¿QUÉ SABES DE LA FAUNA DE LA SIERRA DE GUADARRAMA?
