Escola Daina-Isard
In Science we are learning that plankton can be plant-like organisms, called phytoplankton, or animal-like, called zooplankton.
Our zooplankton is quite large and we are able to observe it without magnifying glasses.
Have a look at the pictures! We are observing artemias here!
In our Science class we have been watching anaglyph images!
We have used special red/cyan 3D glasses in order to observe different planets of our solarsystem, images of the moon and many others.
We even have watched some 3D videoclips and have taken a ride on a virtual reality roller coaster. Have a look, we have had so much fun!
Today we’ve watched the story FATHER CHRISTMAS by Raymond Briggs.
We’ve joined Father Christmas getting ready for his busiest day of the year, Christmas Eve preparing
his Christmas deliveries, feeding his reindeer and finally taking flight into the snowy night.
In Science K4 we investigated spoons. They are like mirrors. The front of the spoon is concave and the back is convex.
We drew ourselves upside down looking at the front of the spoon. Have a look at the pics!
The SNOWMAN AND THE SNOWDOG is an award winning animated short film, the sequel to the story “The Snowman” by Raymond Briggs. We’ve watched it today!
In K4 Science we have learnt to mix paints to get other colours.
Blue and yellow make green! How cool!
We’ve started learning how tu use a pipette, too!
Have a look.
Today in our Science class we have studied the fouling of our Virtue disks using even stereo microscopes. Andrea and Judit, 1st ESO students have come to help us to identify organisms and we could draw the results on ipads.
Andrea has had the virtue rack placed for five months in Roses.
We saw living “mantis shrimps”, algaes and many other organisms.
It was really interesting!
Have a look at the pics!
Look this is a grown up mantis shrimp, ours are very tiny!
In our Science class we have been learning some Beatles songs: The yellow submarine, All together now & Across the Universe
Have a look at the pictures!
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!
Today we’ve been playing with toothpicks to test the surface tension of coloured water. We’ve found out that dipping a soapy toothpick into the water could break the surface tension and our toothpick stars! Have a look at our pictures!
