SURFACE TENSION: MAKING PAPER CLIP FLOAT

 IMG_3761

We put a paper clip on the edge of another paper clip and lowered it gently into a bowl of water. It didn’t sink because surface tension held it afloat. That’s why so many insects are able to walk on water.

How cool!

Visitem el nou espai “Vitruvi”

Avui les llunes hem visitat l’espai “Vitruvi”. Un nou espai de l’escola destinat a la cultura on podrem gaudir de la lectura, realitzar obres de teatre, cantates… I  moltes d’altres coses que anirem descobrint al llarg del curs!  La Camil·la ens ha fet una visita i ens ho ha ensenyat tot! Ens encanta aquest nou espai!

Les llunes fem música

Les llunes comencem el curs amb molta música. Toquem instruments i treballem les audicions que trobareu a la maleta de música d’aquest any!

Message in a bottle & Sea change Project

IMG_3369 IMG_3398

A message in a bottle has arrived today! The bottle will be among us during one week!

We are participating in a nationwide event called MENSAJE EN UNA BOTELLA to raise eco awareness. (www.mensajeenunabotella.info)

In Science K4 and K5 we are making our own jellyfish out of plastic bottles during next week.

But what exactly is this project about?

You can find more info here: mensajeenunabotella.info

During September, October, and November 2017 different bottles of recycled material will travel around Spain with an interesting story inside and a big challenge related to ocean issues. This big challenge can be reached by carrying out smaller challenges that will be available on the event website. The different bottles’ routes will start in different points of Spain, specifically in aquariums that will receive these bottles with a parchment inside. The first participants will pick up the bottles at these points, starting each of the routes across Spain.

The aim is to raise awareness that our actions (both in coastal areas and inland areas) affect the marine environment.

In July we went to the beach to meet two divers from the L’Aquarium of Barcelona and together we recorded this short video, please have a look!

Conte de Montserrat

Per preparar l’excursió de demà, ha vingut la mare del Martí, l’Eva, per explicar-nos la història de la muntanya de Montserrat: Com es va formar, qui hi viu, quins animals podem trobar, quines activitats s’hi poden fer…

Ha estat molt interessant i ja estem preparats per l’excursió que farem demà!

Moltes gràcies!

DOES AN ORANGE FLOAT OR SINK?

Does an orange float or sink in water? We began by filling a large bowl of water and placing an orange in the water. The K4 kids discovered that the orange floats. Then we peeled the orange, removing the rind. Next we placed the unpeeled orange in the water and guess what? It started to sink!
The rind of an orange is full of tiny air pockets making it float on the surface!
