USING FORCES: MACHINES.

Let's move into a new Science topic.

We learnt that the FORCES are action wich make objects move, stop or change shape.

Today we are going to learn how to use this forces, We can use the forces when we use the machines.  Machines can be:

• SIMPLE: they have a few components.
• COMPLEX: they have many components. 

Let's have a look to this video about SIMPLE MACHINE:

As you could watch in the video MACHINES make our lifes easier. 

Can you identify what are the six simple machines?

• Lever.
• Pulley.
• Wheel and Axel.
• Inclined Plane.
• Screw.
• Wedge.

NOW IT'S YOUR TURN!!!!! Could you identify examples of the six simple machines in your real life? It is easier than you think. JUST LOOK AROUND,, there are a lot. 

CHECK YOUR LEARNING ABOUT SIMPLE MACHINES WITH THIS TWO ACTIVITIES. 

LABEL THE SIMPLE MACHINES

Popplets about ENERGY.

Utilizando las TICs para repasar, una vez terminada la unidad de la Energía trabajamos como siempre, realizamos nuestro mapa conceptual con Popplet.

Después los alumnos graban su explicación con la aplicación Screencast-O-Matic. 

Publican su entrada en su Portfolio Personal creado dentro de los blogs personales de Kidblog.

Y nos lo envían para poder corregirlo a traves de la red social educativa de Edmodo.

Estos son los trabajos de los alumnos de esta unidad.

FORCES AND MOTION

Let's review what a force is and how it affects to the objets with this song:

FORCES CAN DISTORT OBJECTS TEMPORARILY OR PERTMANENTLY. 

ALSO THE FORCES CAN AFFECT THE MOVEMENT OF THINGS IN MANY DIFFERENT WAYS:

Let's look for an example from your real life in which you think this different situation happen.

1. A forces makes something move.
2. A force stops a moving body.
3. A force changethe direction of a moving object.
4. A force increas the speed of a moving object.
5. A force reduce the speed of a moving object. 

WITH THIS SIMPLE GAME YOU CAN CHECK HOW DIFFERENT FORCES CAN AFFECT THE MOVEMENT OF THINGS. (Please read the instructions very carefully)

ENJOY &  LEARN

LET'S EXPERIMENT WITH FORCES

Today we are going to start a new topic in our Science lesson: FORCES. 

Why the ball is moving in every case?

What are the people doing to move the ball?

And now, What is going to happen with the ball?

How is it going to move?

With all this previous information, Can you say what a force is?

LET'S MAKE SOME EXPERIMENTS TO IDENTIFY DIFFERENT KIND OF FORCES.

1. Let's take an elastic band, and tie something like a key in one part. Hold the elastic band from the opposite part. Try to identify what happens on it and why it happens.

2. Take a plastic pen, and some small pieces of paper. Rub very quickly the pen with something made of wool. Then you will move the pen closer to the papers. Try to identify what happens on it and why it happens. 

3. Let's take two magnets and try to put them together. Try to identify what happens on them and why it happens. 

4. Let's play with a car. Launch the car along the floor of a classroom, First do it very soft and then do it stronger. What has happened? When has it stopped later?

LET'S CHECK YOUR LEARNING 

ABOUT THE KIND OF FORCES:

Identify and label the different kind of forces.

IF YOU HAVE MORE TIME HERE YOU CAN INCREASE YOUR KNOWLEDGE.

Distance Calculation

Continuing with our Comenius project activities we are going to calculate the distances among all the school participants in the project.

We are going to do with Google maps and then we are going to capture a photo with an app which is called JING.

We are going to divided the class into five group. Each group will choose one of our Comenius Partners. You can find it into the website project:

Comenius Partner Schools

Then have a look to this video tutorial to know what you have to do and how you should do it.

In the photo, it has to appear:

• Names of both schools.
• An arrow that match both school.
• A box with the km.

When you will have finish everything, please send an e-mail with the photo attached in it to the Comenius e-mail: sangregorio.comenius@gmail.com. Write on the Issue: The name of the school you work on and the name of your class. And as a text of the e-mail write the names of the members of your group.

Here you have the link to download and install JING.

DOWNLOAD JING.

HANDS ON!: Make a electrical circuit.

As a final task for this Science Unit we invite yo to create an electrical circuit and explain it to show all your knowlegde about this topic. You will work with a partner.

To create your electrical circuit you need the following:

• 1.5 volt battery.
• A light bulb holder.
• A light bulb.
• A switch.
• Some wires.

In this video you can watch a person who is going to show you how to make the circuit. Let's have a look before you start to create you own one.

Now it's your turn. Let's create your own one. 

When you finish it, you will record a video explaning the electrical circuit. Before that you have to write down in your notebook the script. 

This notes may help you to do it:

• Hello, We are...........
• We've made an electrical circuit.
• The electrical circuit has got four basic componect.
• Generator: It is the source of electricity.
•  .....
•  ......
• ......
• In my circuit this is the Generator, then the electricity travels through this wires,....................
• Bye, Bye. We hope you've understood and you've liked it.

Then upload your video to you Youtube Channel and create a post in your kidblog. In the post you have to:

• Say Hello.
