Mind maps about THE ECONOMY (Science Year 5, Unit 11)

Utilizando las TIC para repasar, una vez terminada la unidad sobre la economía, el Sector Primario y Secundario en España, el Clima y  el sector servicios,  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 través de la red social educativa de Edmodo.

Estos son los trabajos de los alumnos de esta unidad.

Primary and secondary sectors in Spain

During the last lesson we had a quick view about ECONOMY, talking about what all the sectors are and they main thing they work on. Today we are going to focus our attention in the Primary and Secondary Sector in our country Spain. 

Let's watch this video about a man from Palencia. At the end of the video we want you to answer this video:

THE ACTIVE POPULATION. 

Nowadays the active population in Spain is aroun 23 million of people. And because of the crisis 16,5 million are employed and around 6 million are unemployed people. 

The active population is divided in:

• 4.4 % work in the primary sector.
• 20.6 % work in the secondary sector.
• 75 % work in the service sector. 

THE PRIMARY SECTOR. 

The main sector activities are Agriculture, livestock farming and fishing.

Agriculture:

The construction was important in the past but nowadays has decreased a lot. 

THE ECONOMY

Let's start this new topic with a new THINKING ROUTINE. The name of it is  QUICK WRITE / QUICK VIEW. In the following graphic organizer you have to do to things a picture about what come to your mind if you think about the new topic: ECONOMY and in the other part you will write short sentences and a few ideas about the same thing. You will have four minutes to finish it. Then we will share ideas with the whole class.

Let's have a look to the next video as an introduction of the topic. Maybe you will need to review what is RAW MATERIAL. After watching the video I want you to answer these questions. 

• What's the process for raw material from Primary to Tertiary Sector?
• Could you tell me one operation of each sector?

WORK

It refers to the many productive activities which people do, usually for money.

We can have:

• Active population: includes all the people who can work. The ones who are working and the ones who are unemployed.

• Inactive population: The people who can't work: Children, retired people or disabled people.

PRIMARY SECTOR.

Raw material is obtained in the Primary Sector.

SECONDARY SECTOR: 

Natural resources are transformed into products.

• Manufacturing industries: they transform raw material into products.

• Consumer industries: manufacture products such frozen vegetables. 

SERVICE SECTOR: 

All the bussinesses that provide servicies like schools or tourism. 

• Private services: They are controlled privately.
• Public servicies: they are controlled by the state or the local goverment.
